There are also reports of both H5N8 and H5N5 in Germany and the Netherlands. [url]https://afludiary.blogspot.com/2020/11/a-roundup-of-hpai-reports-from-germany.html[/url] or https://afludiary.blogspot.com/2020/11/a-roundup-of-hpai-reports-from-germany.html (and Russia, Kazahkstan, Israel-Jerusalem Zoo). 

Both H5N8 and H5N5 can become a risk for humans. Infection could start from working-direct contact with (dead) birds as well via bird droppings. Also indirect contact-via cats, dogs, swine-eating dead infected birds can be a risk. 

So far H5N8 and H5N5 infections in humans did cause mild illness-but it is feared to be of increased risk. ([url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza_A_virus_subtype_H5N8[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza_A_virus_subtype_H5N8 and [url]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3358203/[/url] or https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3358203/ )

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
