The CDC is finally doing what I claimed that they should have done when the Canadian and Louisiana patient was confirmed to have been infected with H5N1 genotype D1.1, and both had the mutations needed to better infect humans occur in those two infections.
QUOTE:
Recommendations for Clinicians
When collecting a thorough exposure history from a patient with suspected or confirmed influenza who is hospitalized, ask about potential exposure to wild and domestic animals, including pets (e.g., cats), and animal products (e.g., poultry, dairy cows, raw cow milk and raw cow milk products, raw meat-based pet food), or recent close contact with a symptomatic person with a probable or confirmed case of A(H5).
Implement appropriate infection control measures when influenza is suspected.
If avian influenza A(H5) virus infection is suspected, probable, or confirmed in a hospitalized patient, place the patient in an airborne infection isolation room with negative pressure with implementation by caregivers of standard, contact, and airborne precautions with eye protection (goggles or face shield).
END QUOTE:
This should be emphasized in bold print because the first two cases of D1.1 infection probably had produced the next pandemic virus, and it is obviously lethal since the Louisiana patient died and the Canadian was could not breath on their own at one point, and was in critical condition.  The CDC needs to specifically state why these containment measures need to be in place.  The patients infected by D1.1 are producing the next pandemic virus.  The needed mutations seem to be selected for during the infection.
They do not want this virus to spread from the infected patients.
The D1.1 genotype should be treated in a totally different way than they have not been doing for the Dairy virus (genotype B3.13).  Not differentiating the virus is stupid and should not be done at this time.
For D1.1 they need to do more than just test the patients as soon as possible.  They need to start trying to prevent the infection of these patients.  D1.1 is coming from wild birds.  The people most likely to be infected have contact with poultry exposed to wild birds like free range commercial farms, and backyard pet poultry. The USDA and CDC need to determine where the D1.1 genotype exists in the wild, and warn people with bird contact.  They need to tell them exactly what to do if they think their birds are getting sick.  The USDA will likely send people in Hazmat suits to test the birds because they do not want to be infected.
They probably have to warn cat and dog owners to monitor their pets, and at the first sign of influenza they need to get them tested.  Cats and dogs can likely be infected due to dead birds that they may have contact with.
That this is not being done is crazy.  Trying to make excuses for their near total lack of any attempt to do the right thing for the dairy epidemic is something that should never be done.  They screwed up, but now they have a much worse threat to deal with, and not doing what should be done could result in what they should have been trying to prevent since the first human got infected by the dairy virus.  The dairy virus has had very mild symptoms in humans, but the D1.1 genotype is lethal.
