Fuck, dude, it's already in California? I was hoping it was at least somewhat contained to Canada but clearly I haven't been keeping up with the news on the issue.

What is contained in Canada? Bird flu? There has only been one case and they are unsure where the teenager got it from.

It’s in our factory farming animals. It’s been that way for a while. The administration if just fucking around with it and not culling like they should.

And farmers are concealing their infected herds because they don’t want their animals culled. So just assume it is everywhere. We are probably on pandemic II feat. RFK Jr and Trump very soon and it is going to be a lot of fun.

I sure hope they chug that stuff.

Hmmm. Maybe theres still a little time, but rather unlikely.

Yeah, who knows. There is a possibility that they get a vaccine for farm animals soon and that ends the pandemic. But I’m not counting on it. I’ve stocked up on masks and the like, but I’ve never stopped with social distancing, masking and the like so a new flu pandemic isn’t going to change my life much.

It might disrupt my plans to travel, but I'm glad to hear people are busy preparing this time.

I just drank like 2 glasses of milk because it was strawberry flavored :(

[–] lemmylommy 5 points 16 hours ago

Raw milk or pasteurized? The latter is most likely ok.
