H5N1 goes super-spreader, USDA scrambles to rehire scientists

Why would anyone go back to these government jobs when they now realize the king and his vice king will fire them on a whim? Hint, they won't go back

 

FAFO. Keep breaking stuff. Let Americans feel the pain of their votes.

 

just mask up and stay 6 feet away and all will be good...but just in case, lets start up warp speed 2.0

 

Eh, it’s just California. If they’d properly washed all their chickens, cattle and rats, none of this would have happened.
Clearly Newsom’s fault. And Harris’s

 

It will be interesting to see how important this is to the federal government, given that it appears that the currently most impacted areas are blue states.

California will have to give Trump and Musk some minerals in order to receive federal assistance? Tax breaks for Tesla? Perhaps CA will have to change election laws to favor Republicans?

And also, as always; are we certain yet that this issue wasn't caused by DEI? Hopefully they're looking into that...

 

The Federal Government under Trump appears to be an instrument of criminal coercion.

• Ric Grenell, a longtime ally of President Trump, said “there will be conditions” to the coming aid, echoing previous warnings from both men in recent days.
• Grenell said the California Coastal Commission “needs to absolutely be defunded.”

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is planning to set conditions on federal disaster assistance to Los Angeles as it rebuilds from the Eaton and Palisades fires, a top aide to the president said Friday...



Top Trump aide says conditions on federal aid to L.A. will target California Coastal Commission

 

Another Trump term, another Trump plague. Hey MAGA! Time to stock up on the bleach to drink, hydroxychloroquine, and of course your urine to consume at a later time just like those YouTube doctors told you to do.

 

I certainly would not go back at the same salary - gotta compensate me for assuming risk

 

Trump just can't stand not having a pandemic he can fumble through and end up killing a million Americans.

Also if masks don't work, then make sure to tell the surgeon the next time you have an operation and see how that turns out!

 

They do want to jettison the 5th largest economy in the world. FAFO.

 

I see City gonna City and do his daily whole cloth making sh-t up again and mariachi band will contribute

City. - it’s a super spreader
Another poster. It’s another Plague. Quick grab your masks.

CDC- risk is low to humans

H5 Bird Flu: Current Situation

While the current public health risk is low, CDC is watching the situation carefully and working with states to monitor people with animal exposures


masks hysteria and lunacy….

CDC- There is no known person-to-person spread at this time.

 

Oh, look at that - someone relying on the CDC for critical information on a pandemic - how novel!

 

So this virus could wipe out all domesticated animals. That could force all of us to become vegans with a little fish on the side. That sounds like a positive thing for our health. Go Trump/Musk.

 

The ignorance of this statement is palpable.

 

we have to believe this guy when he says masks don’t work… he’s the secretary at a dentists office, after all. I beat his superior wears a mask all the time, though, and he can’t figure out why.

 

Since 2003 there have been 954 human cases of H5N1 with a 52% mortality rate.

How deadly is bird flu in humans? What we know as US confirms 1st death.


I think the reason it’s considered “low risk” is that all these people were infected by directly handling sick or dead birds. It has not spread human to human. Now that it’s infected cows and rats, I assume it’s no longer really “low risk”, or at least it obviously needs to be taken more seriously.

A poster on another thread suggested we shouldn’t be culling infected birds, this would be a strong counterpoint that yes they should be culling them and not trying to mess around with it.

 

Tippi Hedren likes the bird flu.

Sorry, couldn’t help myself.

 

The "Department of Government Efficiency," has to be the most ironical name ever conceived of for an agency.

This is what happens when you carry out your mission like a toddler on Twinkies.

 

Yep, nothing Orwellian about it at all
