H5N1, which was detected in dairy cows in the U.S. in March, also belongs to this family. It is commonly associated with highly contagious strains of H5 viruses called the “Goose Guangdong lineage” that have caused numerous outbreaks in poultry over the last 20 years and sporadic infections in humans, said Sutton.

Granted, that's H5N1 (old-school bird flu) and not H5N2 (the new hotness), but that won't stop yellow peril CHUDs and libs alike from screaming about Da ChYnA vIrUs

From that same article:

The patient in Mexico had been bedridden for several weeks prior to developing symptoms.

According to WHO, on April 17, the man developed fever, nausea, diarrhea, shortness of breath and general malaise. A week later, on April 24, he was hospitalized and died that day.

Sutton said that it’s important to note that the man had multiple underlying medication conditions, which likely exacerbated his infection.

Remember when the CDC released statistics on COVID deaths and how a high percentage of patients had other underlying conditions, and how the "other conditions" included things like autism, ADHD, and being below average height?

autism, ADHD, and being below average height

The patient in Mexico had been bedridden for several weeks prior to developing symptoms.

Excuse me, what? How are you bedridden for several weeks without symptoms? That seems like a contradiction.

Is it named that because Chinese researchers identified it?

Edit: Yep it appears that it was first identified in China.

The first H5N1 outbreak in poultry occurred in China in 1996 but the first human case was detected in Hong Kong in 1997

And before people wanna say we just blame China for everything because they’re our only real contender for superpower status, this is back when a lot of people were still optimistic of China joining the west.

Yep:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goose_Guangdong_virus

The Goose Guangdong virus refers to the strain A/Goose/Guangdong/1/96 (Gs/Gd)-like H5N1 HPAI viruses. It is a strain of the Influenzavirus A subtype H5N1 virus that was first detected in a goose in Guangdong in 1996.

It suits the long-agenda of the national security state to attribute all policy failures to China, or whatever near parity power they next decide as a threat.
