California reports 5 new cases of Bird flu

the_good_daze@reddit

Are any of these human to human infections?

[-]

Individual-Tap2098@reddit

As if they would be truthful or accurate... Hah good luck with your monopolized "science"

[-]

Kolfinna@reddit

No evidence yet but several cases are of "unknown origin"

Dream-Ambassador@reddit

is there a vax for this? Should i upgrade my masks? I am immunocompromised due to medication I take. What kind of mask should I get?

[-]

There is sort of a vaccine stockpile for this, but it is for what was circulating over a year ago. The mutations that we fear could happen, especially if it gets into pigs, will result in an unknown efficacy that we won't have time to study the results of... Due to how much death will be happening. And with Mr. Kennedy Jr. taking over, we're fucked regarding nation vaccine initiatives.

You don't need to upgrade your masking yet. It comes down to the basics: an N95, glasses, gloves. Hand washing. Avoid the sick.

The frightening changes haven't happened yet. If they do happen, I know what to look for and I'll be exploding as well as others with posts everywhere. Stock up on basics to a level you've never done before. We're talking nuclear war cutting the threads of basic supply chains levels of devastation of it has that fatality rate of 50%.

[-]

Dream-Ambassador@reddit

ok. I have a few cambridge masks and am vaccinated. I wear glasses and keep alcohol gel in my car and wash my hands frequently. Thank you.

[-]

Catch22Crow@reddit

Just an fyi with the Cambridge masks: make sure they fit properly (not too small, not too big, no gaps, use the foam nose bridge piece and head straps) and check the expiration dates on the case. The elastic to adjust/tighten them has a tendency to dry out and go bad well before the expiry date. It can be a real bummer to open a fresh one and it’s more or less useless due to stretched out broken brittle elastic.

I’ve been wearing Cambridge as an immunocompromised person (genetic condition) since mid-2016. I’ll usually pick up a few of the Churchill Pros at a time when they’re on sale (like right now) so I have fresh ones to rotate for flu season and allergy season.

caveatlector73@reddit

A good air filter in your home helps as well. Just keep in the mind that the higher the MERV the harder the system works. It's a balance.

[-]

Dream-Ambassador@reddit

Thanks, I live in an antique apartment, however due to wildfires we do have a couple of air filters in our space and we keep them on year round.

[-]

Individual-Tap2098@reddit

Stock up on basics yesterday, because if you wait until last minute during a REAL pandemic, you'll be looking at entirely empty shelves, not just toilet paper.

[-]

OxytocinOD@reddit

It’s quite small risk as of now BUT the number one thing is hand hygiene. Washing hands or gel.

Number two is masks in public. A normal mask will help greatly. n95 or p100 rated masks/respirators offer the most protection, but in many situations are an overkill. Nothing wrong with extra protection as long as it’s comfy enough!

[-]

Dream-Ambassador@reddit

i have been consistently masking in stores since covid. I've had it twice but thanks to vaccines it did not wipe me out like RSV did. Thank you!

[-]

pbluntskkii@reddit

Lol

[-]

Dream-Ambassador@reddit

What are you laughing about? Are you laughing that I have an autoimmune disease and have to take medication to suppress my immune system? Or are you laughing that I'm cautious cobsistently because of my suppressed immune system?

[-]

pbluntskkii@reddit

You’ve had covid two times now no ?

[-]

Dream-Ambassador@reddit

What is funny about that?

[-]

pbluntskkii@reddit

Think about it

[-]

Dream-Ambassador@reddit

Explain it to me. What is fun y about an immunocompromised person getting covid multiple times? Are you not aware that the virus, like all viruses, mutated constantly and that's why you can get covid, flu and rsv multiple times? Do you not know how viruses and the immune system work?

[-]

Individual-Tap2098@reddit

Did you get covid vaccinations?

[-]

pbluntskkii@reddit

You got covid twice , despite all efforts , fearing for dear life apparently, only to have the energy to still fear and be here to continue fearing. Listen I’m sorry you’re immunocompromised that sucks , but here you are after two times

[-]

Difficult-Strain-591@reddit

No need to be a cunt about it.

First bout of it put me in the hospital in my 30s

[-]

Individual-Tap2098@reddit

If you want to be truly safe I recommend a full NBC suit with gas mask along with a decontamination zone in the entryway into your home.

[-]

CannabisSoda@reddit

I'm in the same boat and dealing with a shingles shit fit. Tacrolimus and Cellcept done killed all my self-defense. I don't get into crowds with more than four people and I try not to think about a bad flu year, let alone another life-altering pandemic.

One thing that terrifies me about a more potent virus is not that I might catch it, but that we might get to a point where I run out of medication and its impossible to get more for so many reasons.

[-]

If anything is gonna make America realize public health is very important it’s a pandemic of avian flu.

caveatlector73@reddit

Actually there was this pandemic, couple million people died, a few years back that was dragged into the culture wars kicking and screaming against its will. Nothing has changed.

[-]

Brilliant-Truth-3067@reddit

Avian flu will be worse than Covid. That’s the main variable that will change people’s minds

[-]

Far_Bag_6703@reddit

900 cases with 460 deaths...much worse

[-]

caveatlector73@reddit

Avian flu has been around for centuries. There has to be more than that to kill and cripple millions and millions of people world wide in a few short years. I'm of course open to sources that add to your POV.

[-]

Brilliant-Truth-3067@reddit

The serology reports on the patient in Canada revealed that the H5N1 she has is resistant to antivirals and once spread begins h-h it very well could take out many people who have leftover damage from Covid

[-]

caveatlector73@reddit

Good point. Thank you for adding something I had forgotten. Yes when that came across my feed yesterday I thought oh here we go. I think many people don't make the tie in between infectious disease and chronic disease and how they can become intertwined.

It may not be a done deal, but it is definitely a worrisome variable. I have friends who cannot be vaccinated because of their immune system, and it's always scary.

[-]

Brilliant-Truth-3067@reddit

My brother and sister fall into that category. Building them a surplus of food water and masks to ride out the worst of it if it comes to that. Best of luck to your friends and you.

If Trump has a pandemic during not one but two of his terms that would be some weird sense of humor that the universe has

[-]

I want to tell my deeply religious in-laws that bird flu means God is angry they put Trump above their love of the Lord and He’s sending plagues (again).

I just want to watch them get uncomfortable.

You do realize, it’s starting in Cali? A state that voted for Kamala? God wants to rid al evil. And that’s the democrats that didn’t vote for him.

But nice try.

Go pray, you’re gonna need it

[-]

Hesitation-Marx@reddit

That’s not where it started but okay

[-]

Brave-Safety-3304@reddit

First human case is in Oregon. Just north of Cali and still a state that voted for Kamala. 😂😂😂😂

[-]

Hesitation-Marx@reddit

…. There have been human cases for longer than that. The CDC has reported 44 human cases since April of this year, but that’s only in the United States.

You’ll see more in states that actually cooperate with the CDC and perform testing; states like Missouri had suspected bird flu cases but refused to cooperate with the CDC.

Just because you haven’t been paying attention doesn’t mean the facts fit your (stupid) narrative.

😂. God is angry at humanity for a lot of reason not just the United States. He doesn't care who we voted for since we are still sinning up a storm regardless

[-]

Righteousrob1@reddit

Whatever God this is seems pretty damn evil

[-]

fuckinoldbastard@reddit

He’s a mean sob according to the Old Testament, that’s why they say to fear him. Me? I try not to associate with mass murderers and vengeful assholes!

[-]

TurnipSensitive4944@reddit

He tells you to fear Him the same way you fear your parents its out of respect. Also last time I checked bringing justice to bad people doesn't make someone especially God a mass murderer

[-]

West-Engine7612@reddit

Yes, those children that got eaten by bears god sent really deserved it. Making fun of a man's baldness is just as bad as rape and murder.

[-]

TheDrySkinQueen@reddit

I mean have you seen the shit humans do to each other?? I’d be a mean sob as well if my creation ended up being as fucked up as us lol

[-]

TurnipSensitive4944@reddit

How exactly is He evil?

[-]

Righteousrob1@reddit

Well a God who murders children and gives out plagues because he doesn’t get what he wants is pretty evil. If a child had a hamster and that hamster didn’t love the child unconditionally and the child decided to bestow diseases on it and kill its babies. I’d call that child diabolical

[-]

TinnAnd@reddit

And that's the thing. If God is real he either is a kid with a magnifying glass/likes to watch his creation randomly burn or doesn't give two shits about us.

[-]

TurnipSensitive4944@reddit

No He's not. We are the children with magnifying glasses and He is the parent who disciplines us

[-]

JelielAllelle@reddit

Well we sat on the edge of the river, The crowd screamed, “Sacrifice the liver!” If God takes life, he’s an Indian giver. So tell me now why, you’ll tell me never. Who would want to be? Who would want to be such a control freak? Well who would want to be? Who would want to be such a control freak?

[-]

Spirited_Reveal6264@reddit

You still don't know there's evil people that rule this world (want to keep doing so) that control CDC, WHO, WEF, and so on, that create viruses and spread them how and when they please? Of course they will launch it during a Trump term, because Trump is bringing an end to their wicked evil reign. They are the ones doing human trafficking too (that's why they want to keep an open border: sex trafficking, child trafficking. Better start paying attention.

Historical-Rain7543@reddit

It’s almost like they are creating this right now cause a reset of our food systems of the scale RFK has suggested would take control of food out of the hands of corporations… but that would be crazy to say… not like covid was at first ‘100% natural’ and now it’s widely accepted to be from a lab leak…. The wuhan virology research center is real and the CDC fasho gave them grants. They FASHO had nothing to do with it…

[-]

jokersvoid@reddit

I wonder how RFK jr. handles the outbreak. If he bans vaccines will people listen?

[-]

Individual-Tap2098@reddit

Commercial livestock are legally required to have multiple vaccinations, some yearly. I've read these vaccines only mitigate risk. No guaranteed protection, and too many vaccines can cause adverse reactions, including mutation or lowered immune system. Could there be a correlation? Who has looked into that possibility? How can people be so stupid?

[-]

Serious-Sundae1641@reddit

You should shoot off an email to Purdue Vet. They study vaccinations and much more right on their new 100 million dollar addition to their campus. It's spectacular!

[-]

Serious-Sundae1641@reddit

Their human stem cell laboratory studies long neglected diseases for new therapies too. It gives people suffering from diseases like CF some hope! I myself suffer from MS, so hopefully someone will fund the shit out of that place because I'd line up for THAT vaccine.

Ho_Advice_8483@reddit

Because these issues are caused by politics forcing their will onto everyone else. That is the true sickness in this country. Not the flu.

P_Gizmo@reddit

It already is hospitalization worthy… there is a teenager in BC Canada who is in critical condition in the ICU with confirmed H5N1 avian flu, and the teen had no contact with commercial birds or farms at all. There are articles about it.

[-]

PaulieWalnut88@reddit

Just kill some birds and we’ll be all set

[-]

LudovicoSpecs@reddit

At this point, we know it's not being well managed on farms.

I wish people would stop posting unless millions and millions of livestock are being culled or there's human-to-human transmission.

[-]

caveatlector73@reddit

There is a reason the price of eggs is high. They aren't imports - it's because entire flocks are being culled to try to prevent the spread to other species like dairy and humans.

[-]

LudovicoSpecs@reddit

Yes, but we already know all that. There is no "new" news here. There isn't anything new enough to be actionable in yet another "x new cases of bird flu in farm workers and their families." We've literally been reading those stories for years.

The last noteworthy bit of news was that a pig had been killed by it. One step closer to humans.

At this point, I'm less worried about the jump to humans than I am about the fact that it's wiping out a colossal number of wild birds and other animals.

Human-to-human transmission is the moment when we'll need to be aware of where it is, how quickly it spreads, which vector it spreads by in h-t-h transmission and adjust our lives accordingly like we did during covid.

[-]

Historical-Rain7543@reddit

Yeah they’re taking a batch of chicks to the dump at ritewood, a local huge egg farm near me. They had whole barns of nature animals die two months ago and they’re having another round of die offs again now, I saw the trucks & ventilators out again today. They stopped harvesting their corn, really sad to see, their operation must be in shambles.

how many died so far in USA?

[-]

stopbeingaturddamnit@reddit

The Spanish flu started like a regular flu and mutated into something much more deadly. Viral evolution to mild is a myth.

[-]

caveatlector73@reddit

I think that is a reasonable question. But, there were also people who have not died of other infectious diseases, but the infection resulted in chronic disease which is actually more costly economically over time.

[-]

Responsible_Ad2870@reddit

Meh whatever. Bird flu outbreaks have happened before one that infected at least 1k people in 2003 and nothing came out of them. I don’t think a pandemic is inevitable from this it still has some pretty tall barriers to jump to adapt to human receptors but I also don’t much care playing Russian roulette with the disease either.
