And yes it can be transmitted to us humans. I guess it’s watch this space.
If that is the case, then we're all fcked anyway. My suburb is over run with bird life. During the algae bloom, there were 100's of dead marine animals washed up from my account. Species I never knew we had. The scientists said that was the tip of the iceberg. Most people abide by the health advice and stayed away from the beaches. But tell that to Windsurfers, Kitersurfers and the Dingers who were wind deprived. Last year was a sht year for wind. So, I found myself totally ignoring that advice, and sailing in the green water with the dead fish floating on the water, and washed up. Some riders said they suffered asthma like symptoms. I'm not saying you're wrong, and your concern should be not be considered. But I'm totally not bothered. We speed sailors sail in some pretty rancid sht. I sink in mud on a small lake nobody sails on, and I think how many geological periods is my foot going into ?. Who would do that ?. Only us. The only other sport I can think of that does that is those cave divers that swim in dishwater. Who knows the ancient pathogens in those waters. Nightcliff Gardener's Disease springs to mind.
Yeah, I've sailed in some pretty horrible stuff over the years. LG can get super saline with low water levels - i don't think much can survive in that.
I try not to stop or fall in at LG - the mud, the water, the weed and dead animals.
On the news last night, it was confirmed that a seal was washed up at Beachport with H5.
At least as far as I'm aware there has been no seals in LG
