Funnily enough, raw milk sales have gone up since the CDC announced the avian flu outbreak among cows (www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/health/raw-milk-sales-spike-despite-cdcs-warnings-of-risk-associated-with-bird-flu).
I have no doubt in my mind that if this begins to really pop off it'll be turned into a culture war issue immediately.
I'm aware. Those super smart conservatives are lapping it up. These grifters have gotta own dairy stock or something.
I didn't even think about them trying to move product that would be hard to sell. I just thought they were dumb. Makes so much more sense.
"Lapping it up". Nice.
Manufacturing controversy.
Take a non-issue, make an issue out of it. Get a rating boost. I could almost understand if they own dairy stocks, because I can understand wanting money. This isn't about money, this is about being relevant when they have no legit reason for getting that relevancy.
Every time you hear one of those political talking heads just mentally picture a small child version of them trying to get their dad's attention by acting out.
Or for real laughs go read their Wikipedia page and see their wasted existence. They only have two bios
Bio 1. Born on 3rd base, got a law degree, failed at being a lawyer. Series of political appointments with no accomplishments.
Bio 2. Somehow flunked out of a communication major. Local radio or YouTube doing sports commentary until the day they got noticed by talking politics. 1 out of a 1000 of them become wealthy on a pile of corpses and the rest linger on until they get arrested for beating up their wife.
I never envisioned that I would see Darwinism play out in front of my eyes. This honestly makes the Darwin awards defunct for sure, even more so than the Ivermectin/Bleach crowd did.
Who's ready for Pandemic 2?
“However, no human cases have been detected in Harris County, and the source of H5N1 in the wastewater is unknown. The most likely source is related to agriculture, and the public risk remains low,”
It could have come from a human, but they're guessing non-human source. That doesn't mean that it isn't a potential vector to humans, but I don't think that this in particular is much more alarming than knowing that it's present in some other county.
It is noteworthy that a patient in Mexico did pass away from H5N2 (https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/h5n2-bird-flu-know-first-human-case-rcna155821) , although I don't know if they've confirmed any human to human transmissions as of yet. Definitely something to take precautions against, either way. Hopefully it doesn't mutate into something that can go human to human easily, but it's never bad to be prepared just in case!
Good thing there's already at least two vaccines ready to go for H5N1
What could go wrong with people taking a vaccine to not spread a disease?
We don't talk about that
