Oh Klasse. 🙈 Gut möglich, dass das der Übertragungsweg für #H5N1 auf Kühe ist.
Anscheinend ist in den USA nur verboten, Tiermehl selbst zu verfüttern. Hühnerscheiße darf reingemischt werden. WTF?

In der EU sind grundsätzlich Tierprodukte aller Art in Futtermittel verboten.

And so it begins.

And make no mistake.

There is big 💰💰💰 in Livestock.

The avian flu / H5N1 / bird flu, has been infecting cows for a couple weeks now. 🐄

And now a human... a dairy worker in Texas... has it.

Even though "it's MILD"... waits until you stop rolling your eyes the CDC put out new guidance. Yesterday.

Recommending lots of precautions. You know, like a Center for Disease Control SHOULD. You know, unless ...

With #H5N1 #birdflu spreading amongst dairy cows, one of the most important things to think about right now is what would need to happen for this virus to actually start a pandemic.

Has it been proven that one cannot get infected with #H5N1 from non raw milk?

Because last I heard there have been no studies done.

Or am I wrong?

1. H5N1 is not the typical seasonal flu. It lives mostly in birds (hence "avian")

In Poland dozens of #cats have died from an illness that now seems to be due to #H5N1 infection (some of the investigated cats tested positive for the flu strain).

It's still unclear whether this outbreak was due to all cats eating infected birds, or due to cat-to-cat transmission. The unusually high number of infected mammals does suggest the latter to me (think of what we saw in mink and seals).

This is an important outbreak to monitor, especially if it spreads.

Ja, man kann Hühnerscheiße an Kühe verfüttern. Und jetzt vermuten einige Experten, dass das der Ursprung des rätselhaften Vogelgrippe-Ausbruchs bei Milchkühen in den USA ist.

Wie wahrscheinlich das ist und warum verseuchtes Tierfutter auch für Menschen sehr gefährlich sein kann:

If conjunctivitis is going to be the hallmark of people with H5N1, maybe we have a hope if it becomes a pandemic. (humans do a lot better avoiding people who are visibly sick, as we evolved to detect things like that much better). https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2405371 #h5n1 #hpai #disease #conjunctivitis

I am far more terrified about the pending #H5N1 virus that is spreading than #COVID at the latter’s worst.

👉🏾 U.S. to make millions of bird flu vaccine doses this summer, as cases grow https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bird-flu-vaccine-doses-this-summer-cases/

COVID’s fatality rate was between 1%-3% (which is usually high for a virus).

I have read reports about H5N1 having close to 60% fatality rate. I need to stock up on #N95 masks again.

⚠️ 🚫 Proof that our milk supply is not safe!!

Scientists warn Canada 'way behind the virus' as bird flu explodes among U.S. dairy cattle

"Without a "robust national surveillance program, there's no way to know if there are infections here or not."

"(The agency ....saying it is "not currently testing raw or pasteurized milk," adding that the virus isn't a food safety concern.) "

Dass sich da wer mit #H5N1 angesteckt hat, ist für sich genommen nicht so wahnsinnig dramatisch. Viel interessanter und problematischer ist, was da grad mit den Kühen abläuft.

Unter denen verbreitet sich H5N1 grade, und das ist aus mehreren Gründen ziemlich überraschend.

A reminder: epidemics and pandemics are expected to increase in frequency as the climate crisis advances [1] and as humans build deeper into wildlands [2].

So what do we do?

1. Address the climate crisis!
2. Embrace urbanism, controlled growth, and leave wildlands alone.
3. Push for infrastructure improvements for indoor air quality.
4. Push for better healthcare and sick leave policies.
5. Advocate for better funding for scientific research.

"H5N1 now confirmed in 11 US farms. Cats die within 48 hours."

"Vets are being advised to wear full PPE (personal protection) if seeing a cat with neurological symptoms, after forty cats died on a dairy farm in New Mexico. The virus has proved 100% fatal and cats die within 24-48 hours.

Is it safe to consume dairy products? The answer for RAW products is NO. The virus has been detected in unpasteurised milk."
