A couple of hours ago I lamented that the Saudi Ministry of Environment, Water & Agriculture (MEWA) was releasing their H5N8 updates on twitter - in a format I could not translate - and that I was dependent upon media reports instead.
I don't know if someone at MEWA heard me, but over the past hour or two some kind soul there has posted the missing daily reports for the past several days.
Whatever the cause, it is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
