Studio Ghibli producer asks (translated subtitles) "So, what is your goal?"
Well, we would like to build a machine that can draw pictures like humans do.
Miyazaki: "I feel like we are nearing to the end of times. We humans are losing faith in ourselves..."

Oof, after just a month of no detections, HPAI is back in the Amish duck-farming region in Northern Indiana. 5 cases reported since May 4, mostly on duck farms. Remind me how this was addressed in another densely duck-farmed region hit by constant waves of H5 2.3.4.4b? www.in.gov/boah/species...

5 cases in LaGrange presumptively positive since May 4

Preliminary analysis shows the sequences from the MV Hondius hantavirus patients are virtually identical. Supports theory of one spillover from rodent to first patient and subsequent human-to-human spread on the cruise ship. virological.org/t/preliminar...

SNPs of sequences from cases. 2,3,6 are identical, cases 7 and 5 have one mutation each on L protein
