I can’t get over how people like you are frozen in amber. Unable to move forward from COVID and always posting about it. It’s just as pathetic as the people you are mocking. Did you lose all your friends during quarantine? Do you not have anything better to do than talk about COVID all these years later? |
Not PP, but I seriously side eyed some birds over the weekend. And I wondered how the heck folks would get through an H5N1 shut down if we can’t freakin go outside bc the damn birds, animals and wind will infect us |
Outdoor masking, of course. But I'm sure we'll see tons of posts complaining that the birds are Trump-loving anti-maskers. |
Ah, this thread - don’t wanna revisit the poster who loathes the elderly. Wish it could be locked. |
For what? You think cows are getting on planes? We don't have human to human spread. |
We have working vaccines for H5N1. |
No one likes the elderly except the elderly. |
No, we need to ground all the birds, of course. Because science. |
Or apparently functioning brain cells. |
I was just in Dallas, Texas masking was prominent. Not on the plane but in Deep Elbum or near SMU every server, store person etc...

What about the birds? |
The USDA announced today that they are testing beef products for H5N1. They are also testing if cooking will inactivate the virus since apparently this has never been actually tested.

Not exactly, it is more complicated. The CDC has some H5N1 vaccines in a stockpile that it FDA believes would offer some protection against the version of the H5N1 virus currently infecting cows. The US does not have anywhere near enough doses for the entire country let alone the world. If this started spreading between humans, we would need to manufacture 2 doses for every person on the planet. That’s over 16 billion doses. And the vaccines take months to produce and most influenza vaccines are produced using chicken eggs. https://www.statnews.com/2024/04/24/h5n1-bird-flu-vaccine-preparedness/ |
Yawn. Get a life, folks. |
Here is the CDC report that includes a discussion about the cats that died from H5N1. Their symptoms sound terrible - this virus destroyed their hearts, lungs, eyes and brain. The working theory is that the cats contracted the virus by drinking milk from sick cows. https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/30/7/24-0508_article |
