Alarm as bird flu now ‘endemic in cows’ while Trump cuts staff and funding
Experts say current US outbreak is unlikely to end without intervention with further mutation of virus likely
Summary
A new H5N1 bird flu variant has become "endemic in cows," with cases detected in Nevada and Arizona, raising concerns about human transmission.
Experts warn that without intervention, the outbreak will continue, but Trump has cut CDC staff and halted flu vaccination campaigns.
The virus's spread coincides with a severe flu season, increasing the risk of mutation.
The administration has also stopped sharing flu data with the WHO and shifted its containment strategy away from culling infected poultry, raising fears of inadequate response.
Aw shit, here we go again.
Calling it now: we have another pandemic during Trump's current term.
Conspiracy theorists will go "isn't it weird there's always a pandemic while trump is president, must be the Democrats/Jews/Illuminati/"The Regime" controlling everything, Plandemic am a right?"
Couldn't possibly be Trump removing all safeguards against pandemics...
The price of beef is about to go the way of the price of eggs.
Down, right?
Down, right?
Just do this:
- stop testing,
- stick a lightbulb up their rear
- put some horse paste in their feed
- disinfectant in their water
- ???
- Profit
Surely some rich republican ranchers can get Trump's attention...
After fucking it up on a global pandemic there were people attacking the Capitol to defend him. He's just trying to repeat that achievement.
Up next repealing regulations preventing farmers from selling downer cows. Can't afford not to sell infected meat. Grocery prices are already too high. What could go wrong?
Good.
