Correct me if I'm wrong, but I am under the impression that #influenza viruses have never been demonstrated to be foodborne, and this stuff about pasteurizing milk from infected cows sounds like public health theater to calm the plebs
@currentbias
Mostly airborne transmission, but pasteurizing is a generally good idea for other reasons.This says:
"It's unclear whether drinking raw milk from an H5N1-infected cow would be risky, said Weese. But studies do show raw milk can carry all kinds of dangerous pathogens such as salmonella, E. coli, and listeria, all known for causing food poisoning." https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/bird-flu-cattle-outbreak-questions-1.7163839
