I really hate that Americans are such sick freaks that this thing is just gonna become a culture war issue immediately like COVID. Chuds are gonna say that it's a conspiracy by PETA and Big Soy to get people to stop eating chicken. Libs are gonna pretend to care about masking up again for exactly as long as the DNC finds it tenable. Then in less than a year everyone goes back to plague rat behavior. Nobody has anything to live for so risking a 10% chance of permanently disabling yourself, killing your older and immunocompromised loved ones, etc just doesn't matter. Gotta get your snout in the slop trough.
H5N1, which was detected in dairy cows in the U.S. in March, also belongs to this family. It is commonly associated with highly contagious strains of H5 viruses called the “Goose Guangdong lineage” that have caused numerous outbreaks in poultry over the last 20 years and sporadic infections in humans, said Sutton.
Granted, that's H5N1 (old-school bird flu) and not H5N2 (the new hotness), but that won't stop yellow peril CHUDs and libs alike from screaming about Da ChYnA vIrUs
The patient in Mexico had been bedridden for several weeks prior to developing symptoms.
According to WHO, on April 17, the man developed fever, nausea, diarrhea, shortness of breath and general malaise. A week later, on April 24, he was hospitalized and died that day.
Sutton said that it’s important to note that the man had multiple underlying medication conditions, which likely exacerbated his infection.
Remember when the CDC released statistics on COVID deaths and how a high percentage of patients had other underlying conditions, and how the "other conditions" included things like autism, ADHD, and being below average height?
Is it named that because Chinese researchers identified it?
Edit: Yep it appears that it was first identified in China.
The first H5N1 outbreak in poultry occurred in China in 1996 but the first human case was detected in Hong Kong in 1997
And before people wanna say we just blame China for everything because they’re our only real contender for superpower status, this is back when a lot of people were still optimistic of China joining the west.
It suits the long-agenda of the national security state to attribute all policy failures to China, or whatever near parity power they next decide as a threat.
me and the black vulture who's been flightless for like four months and hopping around my area are now on a break, I will not be french kissing him any more
Not a single democrat thought to primary him even for his Justinian proclamation that COVID was over. I can understand every single one of them being a fucking freak with Israel, but he pretended the pandemic stopped existing and cut the support for its response. Genocide Joe is bringing it home. Stock up on PPE before we face a worse form of March 2020.
I imagine it's political suicide to be the person who "rocked the boat" and ended up letting trump win (even though everyone knows Trump is more likely to win either way)
democrat filtering and party-discipline methods have been constantly refined since Obama's nomination. any possible opposition are DOA or quivering at the prospect of the DNC coming down on them & taking their incumbency.
i don't know what you mean by this. it's been a minute since i read the histories but i don't remember Justinian ever decreed the plague over or anything. just lots of gross anecdotes about corpse disposal
I wouldn't be surprised if it's motivated by detecting illegal drugs, and informing allocation of police resources based on that, not any actual concern for people. I don't know if they do that or if it's feasible but that was my thought.
