Summary

Nutrition label

75% Informative

Wendy Barclay is a leading British virologist and head of the department of infectious disease and the Action Medical Research chair in virology at Imperial College London .

She served on the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies and the New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group ( Nervtag ) during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The virus is able to replicate inside human cells but has not acquired mutations in the HA gene (the H in H5N1) required to transmit between people through the air.

We haven’t seen any evidence of that yet, either in people, cows or any animals in the wild.
