  3. Mama had a chicken

    Mama had a cow

    Dad was proud

    He didn’t care how

  5. You only need to start really worrying when it goes from human-human.

  8. This headline feels oddly familliar…

    Almost like a déjà vu.

  9. So those farmers that were granted government financial support for having their live stock be infected with bird flu, they’re gonna be investigated and charged if foul play is found right?

  13. I keep hearing that there’s a staggering mortality rate associated with the bird flu, at least on paper.  
    But I’ve also read something about the symptoms (so far) equating to fever, pink eye, and just a generally bad time.

    We’re up to 10 cases in the U.S. now, right?  Anyone hear anything about how they’re fairing?

  15. Nice, a REAL pandemic right before trump’s back in office. We’re fucked

  17. > All five people have shown mild illnesses, though they experienced variable symptoms. Some of the cases involved conjunctivitis, as was seen in other human cases linked to the H5N1 outbreak in dairy cows. Others in the cluster of five had respiratory and typical flu-like symptoms, including fever, chills, sore throat, runny nose, and cough. None of the five cases required hospitalization.

    > The virus infecting the five people is closely related to the virus infecting the chickens on the poultry farm, which, in turn, is closely related to virus seen in infected dairy herds and in other human cases that have been linked to the dairy outbreak. The affected poultry farm is in Colorado’s northern county of Weld, which has also reported about two dozen outbreaks of avian influenza in dairy herds.

    Definitely concerned, but I’m at least glad to hear that the symptoms don’t seem so bad, for now.

  18. I hope it can sustain itself this time, last time that happened it got detected too soon and wiped out (was in China and they blocked the village off like instant)

    We will see

    Most likely get stomped out before it can achieve anything yet again, it just has not enough transmission ability

  22. Oh my hell, this reads like a shit-show. The workers need to cull millions of chickens, yet they can only do so in small batches.

    The workers are set up to get infected, working in 100° temperatures with all those fans running.

    Not to mention the highly-infectious cows milk plus its spread to equipment…

    What a nightmare ⚠️

  23. If there is an outbreak it will be more like the last big swine flu outbreak than Covid. Lots of people will die and be sick and some localized health systems will be overwhelmed. It will be an other of magnitude smaller than Covid.

  24. Your time to prep is running out people, don’t be caught off guard like most of us were with COVID….. learn from what happened and have the essentials ready to go. Masks, gloves, sanitizer and long life food.

  25. We have already heard this crap before… From bat to snake to pure chinese dude…

  26. sweet. glad we ignored all the gain of function realizations from the last worldwide pandemic.

  27. Yeah, don’t forget though that conjunctivitis was code for “bleeding from both eyes”.

  32. Animal agriculture is literally all downsides but y’all need your nuggets and birds reproductive waste… yum
