Corona 2 was not on my armageddon bingo card.
I’m not surprised at all. Bird flu has gone form a major to a massive problem in the last year. We just had to wait for it to mutate and infect mamals regularly (it already happened every now and then).
A few days ago there was also news about cats in Poland being infected. It already infects humans sometimes. No human to human infections yet, but I guess with a strain that’s mamal compatible, it will come sooner or later (probably sooner).
This is what happens when you put a shit ton of animals in cages together. It will not become better until we find our place in the ecology again, instead of believing we live outside it. This doesn’t just apply to infectious diseases.
Bird flu is an influenza virus, not a corona virus. Thus the “flu” in “bird flu”.
Also, Covid-19 wasn’t Corona 1, we already had SARS, etc.
I was referring to the situation and not the virus type.
Bird flu is worse than covid-19. Bird flu is like rabies you catch by breathing.
Fortunately, so far it seems it isn’t transmitted to nor amongst mammals as easily as birds.
This can easily be worse, saddly.
We already have a distribution infrastructure in place for seasonal flu vaccines.
And we have lots of people who refuse to get them because “I’m healthy, I exercise and I eat right.”
It’s called Microsoft /s
I thought they did software updates monthly these days.
Here we go again
Thank goodness we can trust everyone to care for one another and act appropriately after all the lessons learned from COVID 19. /s
Flu Found at Fur Farms in Finland
Fantastic.
On a Friday
Well heck, if the birds and furs and Finns can get it, who’s safe?
Fish
