no new flu for the oldies.

there was good news too this week, many of us are way to old to get bird flu, the latest one h5n1. if born before 1968, you just had enough kinds of flu to being able to handle it well, but it was said that your first flu always was the one who stayed better on in anti bodies.

one of my more nerdy hobbies are the bad bugs, fascinating stuff. like the best thing resulting from covid 19 is that one of the b-influenza virussen is simply gone, at least in all tested, and influenza is tested all over the world, individuals with flu like symptoms it is never found again. the b's are never been so popular to get, the a- flu's like us much better it seems.

h5n1 is one of avian origine, seems to like cows too, at least american ones, we are more used to first see it in birds, and before it ends up in us hard, there is usually need for a bit of roaming around in pigs. but it would be great if they are right and all oldies have much less to fear from it.
but these little influenza buggers are hard to predict, they have no problem with playing it out to just fix such things with a nice little mutation.
