Summary

The CDC identified rare mutations in the bird flu virus from the first severe U.S. human case, found in a Louisiana resident over 65 with severe respiratory illness.

The mutations, located in the hemagglutinin (HA) gene responsible for cell attachment, differ from those in local backyard flock samples and align with severe cases seen abroad.

The patient was infected with the D1.1 genotype, recently found in U.S. wild birds and poultry, not the B3.13 genotype seen in humans and livestock elsewhere.

The CDC states no person-to-person transmission occurred, and public risk remains low.

    Dude I really can’t undrestand why you can’t accept this.

    It was a legit full on fit test for a N95 done by a person by a person who does them for workplaces requiring a fit test, with the whole wearing a hood without wearing the mask and them putting this smell into the hood, with you testing you can smell it first, and then with the mask on, and you move your head in all sorts of directions while they add scents with various types of breathing.

    You can test ANYTHING if you want within there to see if the smell can penetrate it, it’s just required by workplace safety for N95 and life saving respiratory equipment.

    ALL MASKS MUST FIT PROPERLY TO WORK, even if they won’t certify it.

    Edit: This site will find you locations - I looked up 90210 and it found a spot in LA for me that you can phsyically go to for the test. https://wellnessmart.com/spirometry-3/ -> https://wellnessmart.com/wm_locations/los-angelesca/. Book a N95 test, bring a N95 and a KN94 as well, and they might let ya test it for some extra $$$
