#OTD in 1318 – Richard de Clare, Lord of Thomond, a descendant of Strongbow, is killed while commanding his forces at the Battle of Dysert O’Dea.

The Normans were very unsuccessful in trying to establish themselves in Clare. They had but one small section in Bunratty guarded by a strong Castle of the same name. In 1318 Richard DeClare occupied the Castle of Bunratty. In May of that year he was joined by some Irish traitors and they proceeded with a very strong Army of English and Irish to attack Conor O’Dea of Dysert O’Dea and establish…

By Tulio de Oliveira

Dr. Oliveira is the director of the Centre for Epidemic Response and Innovation in South Africa.

As a virus scientist in South Africa, I’ve been watching with dread as H5N1 bird flu spreads among animals in the United States. The pathogen poses a serious pandemic threat and has been detected in over 500 dairy herds in 15 states — which is probably an undercount. And yet, the U.S. response appears inadequate and slow, with too few genomic sequences of H5N1 cases in farm animals made publicly available for scientific review.

Failure to control H5N1 among American livestock could have global consequences, and this demands urgent attention. The United States has done little to reassure the world that it has the outbreak contained.

The recent infection of a pig at a farm in Oregon is especially concerning as pigs are known to be “mixing bowls” for influenza viruses. Pigs can be infected by both avian and human influenza viruses, creating a risk for the viruses to exchange genetic material and potentially speed up adaptation for human transmission. The H1N1 pandemic in 2009 was created and spread initially by pigs. Beyond the risks to its own citizens (there are over 45 cases of people in the United States getting the virus in 2024), the United States should remember that the country where a pandemic emerges can be accused of not doing enough to control it. We still hear how China did not do enough to stop the Covid-19 pandemic. None of us would want a new pandemic labeled the “American virus,” as this could be very damaging for the United States’ reputation and economy.

The United States should learn from how the global south responds to infectious diseases. Those of us working in the region have a good track record of responding to epidemics and emerging pandemics, and can help the United States identify new virus strains and offer insights into how to control H5N1. This knowledge has not come easily or without suffering; it has developed from decades of dealing with deadly diseases. We’ve learned one simple lesson: You need to learn your enemy as quickly as possible in order to fight it.

We did this during Covid. In November 2021, my colleagues and I, and others in Botswana, discovered the Omicron variant. We quickly and publicly warned the world that it could rapidly spread. This kind of transparency is not always easy because it can come at large economic cost. For example, after we shared our Omicron discovery, countries around the world imposed travel bans on South Africa ahead of December holidays, spurring backlash. Our team received death threats, and we needed security for our labs. One estimate suggests South Africa lost $63 million in canceled bookings from December to March.

But it was the right thing to do. That’s why it’s so frustrating that genomic sequences of H5N1 animal cases in the United States are not quickly made available. Sharing genomes of virus samples immediately is crucial for understanding the threat and giving the world time to prepare, including developing antivirals and vaccines. Rwanda, for example, was recently bold enough to go public with the detection of the deadly Marburg virus. Health responders there worked around the clock, and within about a month, they seem to have controlled the outbreak. Other countries in Africa have similarly and openly shared data about the spread of Mpox.

I’ve worked for decades with American scientists, and this summer I toured many of the country’s top scientific research institutions and was a speaker at one of its largest annual virology meetings. I know how flabbergasted many American scientists are about the country’s slow response to the H5N1. One highly respected American virologist, David O’Connor, told me that “it seems that the United States is addicted to gambling with H5N1. But if you gamble long enough, the virus may hit a jackpot.” A jackpot for the virus would fuel a global pandemic.

It is time to respond forcefully to this threat. The world’s scientists are here to help, in the same way as the United States has helped us so many times. Countries need to continue to support one another; we need an international scientific and medical force that can work together to respond to new epidemics and potential pandemics, including diagnosing and genetically analyzing every single sample of H5N1.

I understand that it’s not easy to persuade businesses, such as the meat and dairy industries, to allow the testing of all of their animals and staffs, and to make that data public quickly. But I also know that in the end, doing so protects lives, lessens economic damage and creates a safer world.

The world cannot afford to gamble with this virus, letting it spread in animals and hoping it never sparks a serious outbreak — or crossing our fingers that its effects won’t be serious in people. Time will tell. I hope we are not watching the start of a new pandemic unfold, with both the American and the international communities burying our heads in the sand rather than confronting potential danger.

BIOGRAPHY:

London  is  not  foreign  to  him,  yet  it  is  not  home.  The  city  is  a  stage  upon  which  he  is  expected  to  perform—a  place  of  whispered  conversations  over  clinking  glasses,  of  gilded  salons  where  reputations  are  built  and  shattered  in  the  same  breath.  Roman  de  Beaumont  arrives  weeks  before  his  official  debut,  slipping  into  the  city  with  quiet  purpose.  He  spends  that  time  settling  into  his  St.  James  apartment,  familiarizing  himself  with  the  Academy,  and—more  importantly—finding  his  place  in  a  world  that  exists  just  beneath  the  surface  of  high  society.  To  most,  he  is  simply  another  foreign  noble  seeking  favor  in  English  circles.  To  a  select  few,  he  is  something  else  entirely.

Born  to  the  storied  but  fading  de  Beaumont  line,  Roman  was  raised  with  a  singular  purpose:  to  restore  the  family  name.  His  mother,  an  Englishwoman  by  birth,  marries  into  the  grandeur  of  French  nobility  only  to  watch  it  crumble  under  the  weight  of  revolution  and  changing  times.  It  is  through  her  that  Roman  bears  his  connection  to  the  Sinclairs,  his  English  cousins  who  have  never  known  true  loss  the  way  the  de  Beaumonts  have.  As  a  child,  he  visits  England  with  his  mother,  spending  summers  in  their  grand  estates,  learning  their  mannerisms,  their  games.  That  bond  loosens  over  the  years,  but  now,  as  he  returns  to  London,  the  Sinclairs  provide  him  an  effortless  entry  into  the  ton.

Yet  Roman  has  not  come  to  England  for  family.  Long  before  his  arrival,  he  was  recruited  into  the  underbelly  of  the  art  world—not  as  a  mere  collector,  but  as  a  broker  of  stolen  and  smuggled  masterpieces.  He's  valuable  not  for  his  taste,  though  he  has  that  in  abundance,  but  for  his  access  to  those  with  fortunes  to  spend  and  secrets  to  keep.  London’s  aristocracy  drapes  itself  in  civility,  but  behind  closed  doors,  it  indulges  in  its  vices.  Roman  knows  how  to  provide  what  cannot  be  acquired  through  proper  channels.  His  acceptance  into  the  Royal  Academy  of  Arts  is  granted  only  under  strict  conditions—one  of  which  demands  he  marry  a  noblewoman,  securing  both  his  family’s  standing  and  his  continued  presence  in  England.

Still,  he  plays  his  part  well.  He  is  charming  when  it  suits  him,  disarming  when  necessary,  and  always  careful  never  to  reveal  more  than  he  intends.  The  ton  will  see  only  what  he  allows  them  to  see—a  foreign  noble  with  an  artist’s  hands  and  a  gentleman’s  smile,  a  man  eager  to  reclaim  his  family’s  standing.  But  Roman  learns  long  ago  that  survival  is  an  art  of  its  own.  London  is  a  game,  and  he  has  every  intention  of  winning.
