Biden left a mess for Trump on this one

total failure to confront an obvious health threat to both to a major industry and the public
https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/oth...ic/ar-AA1wdxm4Already, the USDA has funneled more than $1.7 billion into tamping down the bird flu on poultry farms since 2022, which includes reimbursing farmers who’ve had to cull their flocks, and more than $430 million into combating the bird flu on dairy farms. In coming years, the bird flu may cost billions of dollars more in expenses and losses. Dairy industry experts say the virus kills roughly 2 to 5% of infected dairy cows and reduces a herd’s milk production by about 20%
You'd think at some point there'd be a motive to protect dairy, poultry and beef industries, but no.
It's not even clear that the political will to protect people from disease is there anymore.
Avian Flu Diary: CDC: Revised Interim Recommendations for Prevention, Monitoring, and Public Health Investigations of HPAI H5A year ago, the United States had only reported 1 human H5 infection. Today, officially, there have been 66 this year. Add in the `probable' cases, and those detected via serological testing, and the number is > 80.Not only has HPAI H5 been detected in cattle, it has turned up in goats, alpacas, house cats, mice, and pigs in the United States. Recently, we saw evidence of it in Mongolian horses.
The B3.13 `bovine' genotype which affects cattle has been joined by a new, and aggressive D1.1 genotype, which has caused at least 2 severe illnesses in North Americans, and has shown signs of mammalian adaptation.Where H5Nx goes in 2025 is unknowable - but if the past year is any indication - we should expect more than a few surprises along the way.
Hey look ma I found a broken record!![]()
you're one to talk
destroying chickens with bird flu is legally required, dairy cows not so much
Nearly 1M chickens test positive for bird flu at Darke County egg producerNearly one million chickens tested positive for bird flu at a Darke County egg producer.
The National Veterinary Services Laboratory confirmed HPAI (highly pathogenic avian influenza) Friday involving 931,302 commercial layers, the Ohio Department of Agriculture reported.
The ODA did not identify the egg producer because it is an active case.
When HPAI is detected, ODA quarantines the facility, where all the birds at the location are culled to prevent the spread of the disease. The agriculture department also sets up a control area and surveillance zone to monitor other facilities nearby.
egg prices probably not coming down in 2025
US egg production drops as prices continue to rise along with bird flu cases | Fox BusinessPrices for meat, poultry, and fish rose 1.7% in November, but prices for eggs rose 8.2%.
Prior to the large bird flu outbreak in March 2022, flock numbers were at a level that supported lower egg prices, according to Bergquist. He noted the wholesale price was less than $1.50 per dozen.
However, the outbreak disrupted the market, leading to record egg prices in December 2022. The average price corrected to a lower level by 2023 as producers rebuilt their flocks.
Bergquist said that the flock size was hindered again when bird flu re-emerged in late 2023 and into 2024, resulting in under-supplied egg markets.

Happy new year everyone, including vaxxcucks. Cheers![]()
How many have you read in full?
500?
1000?
What did each one you read in full say?
newsflash: vaccines aren't risk-free
anyway, there's a public health side to this too. if the states and the feds had taken this outbreak more seriously and gotten it under control, we'd not even have to think about bird flu vaccines (based on a 100 year old technique)
CDC extends its guidance to hospitals on bird flu testing. There's no reporting yet that confirms H2H transmission, but already a few of the patients have had no verifiable contact with birds or dairies.
https://thehill.com/homenews/5089960...speed-testing/Officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that hospitals speed up testing people who are hospitalized with the flu for H5N1 bird flu.
Health care workers in hospitals are urged to perform additional testing on patients hospitalized with influenza A — ideally within 24 hours of admission — to determine whether they have bird flu, according to a CDC advisory issued Thursday.
the CDC guidance can be found here:

public health announcements will be thoroughly vetted by the government, to assure conformity with political expediency

for the time being, Trump just wants to keep us in the dark!
Can't control these types of viruses, can't believe you haven't figured that out yet.
when H2H bird flu transmission starts happening, you'll blame it on Biden just the same
"nothing can be done"
but there are laws that require farmers to cull their birds if bird flu is detected
is that because "nothing can be done to control these kinds of viruses?"
on the contrary, we can mitigate transmission, and the possibility that bird flu will mutate to make H2H transmission easier.
for some reason, Snake Boy is against that
I'll blame nature and hope Trump follows the Obama and Biden response to a pandemic...let er rip. Hopefully Trump has learned his lesson when it comes to listening to The Experts™.
Yean, you hope maybe 2 million Americans will die next time.
