It seems like the USDA is doing an awesome job with their response

I’m going to inject bleach into myself and see if that helps. Trump said this about COVID so it must be true.

It looks like it’s limited to dairy cows who are getting it from contaminated milking equipment. Easy mitigation measures like increasing the milking equipment disinfecting and issuing PPE to farm workers who handle the equipment.

North Carolina now has a herd with an outbreak, so the number is now 7. The USDA is putting a pause on all cattle going into and out of these 7 states as a precaution. Still only in dairy cows and they are not culling the herds, just isolating and treating the sick cows.

Are there any steps we can take to increase the likelihood of a major outbreak in people?

Don't worry, we are probably already taking all the steps we need to take to increase that likelihood.

I'd rather not leave it to chance. Is there any way to guarantee another pandemic? The sooner the better.

Eat more salad. Cow crap runoff + uncooked greens = cow-to-human transmission.

You heard it here first!

1 in 5 US retail milk samples test positive for H5N1 avian flu fragments

The highest concentrations were from regions where the virus has been found in dairy herds.

Milk itself is still probably safe for most people. However this means that H5N1 is more widespread than has been reported. Probably mild and running through the cow population.

People are welcome to worry about this in advance, if they’d like. But, there’s nothing I can do so I’m not going to worry about it right now.

Feels very January 2020 to me….

All we need is two weeks to flatten the curve.

Wouldn't the pasteurization process kill it in milk?

Sounds like all those cows are anti-masking Trump fanatics.

Yes, they're just finding DNA fragments but it's useful to know how widespread it is among cows.

Another chance for pharma to ram vaccines down our throats.

Don't you mean 5G-building nanite injections by cellular providers? Or have they moved on to 6G?

If you’re in the Health and Medicine forum and you click on the very last page (2184, I think), you’ll see that every single post was about H1N1 back in 2009. A little deja vu.
