Wow. So not only were several bird flu studies left out of today’s CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, some data on bird flu briefly appeared in the online report and then was quickly removed.

I don't know. Maybe somebody threw it up there real fast, then took it down and said it was an accident. You know how the internet is. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube once it's out there. It's out there
It’s more that they don’t want anything to shut down, they really don’t care if it hurts ppl.
Plus they assume it will either be poor ppl or those in urban areas, who are more likely to be Dems.
Apparently money doesn’t buy a good education.
Give the poor a smidge of good fortune & they’d merrily take what’s given, without question.
Breaking the poor is the foundation for nearly every revolution in history.
Sadly, it can take decades of oppression before the people finally rise up to overthrow the govt and too often the new govt is just as bad as the last (see Syria).
And there are fewer protests. One can actually impose restrictions because of public health ... And if essential workers die, fine. Musk likely sees them as interchangeable, largely black and brown, and if they die that reduces the surplus population /sarcasm
Especially since this doesn’t originate in cats. Don’t feed cats raw meat or poultry. Don’t give them any raw milk products. And keep them inside so they don’t have contact with sick or dead birds. This isn’t difficult.
Thank you Linda for this info. My Cats never go outside. They're old and they sleep mostly. My youngest has no teeth so he never goes out. I am vegan so my Cats will never get fresh meat or raw milk. They get cat food only and water only. The Vet told a long time ago not to give them milk, tuna or
It sounds like your cats have a lovely life. I have had 20 cats over the years, starting with the first two in 1984. We have two now. All of them have been indoor kitties. Have a great weekend!
Anyone who would like a prep list can let me know. I worked in preparedness and one of my job requirements was to create such a list.
I don't know if US organizations provide them any more or provide them with the motive of just letting you think it'll only be a temporary or short problem.
BlueSky won't let me attach a word doc, even at DM. So please DM me your email if you'd like the word doc. I haven't made it a PDF because it's a living document made as a springboard for your own needs as discovered.
How the hell does this make America great again? I almost understand some of the shit The Grifter and Leon are pulling because it enriches them. But taking away health and safety guardrails? How does this help them? It's going to rally formerly pro-GOP people against them—if we get the word out.
The reality is that nobody is trying to do that because it won’t work. They have various complex goals and are doing the wrong thing. In their minds with good intent. But it is still wrong. People doing bad things often see themselves as doing good. See any terrorist for example.
We were considering raising chickens again but not anymore. There’s no way to keep them away from small birds or even other small critters in the coop, no matter how tight you seal things.
I wish people wouldn't spread this headline until the full report is released. It's going to cause panic, and a-holes will abandon or surrender their cats. (If you're worried, just KEEP THEM INSIDE, folks!)
Definitely keep cats inside with or without bird flu. I can't understand people let their cats roam around and shocked when the cats get hit by cars or if they get attacked by dogs
There's a huge US/UK cultural difference on this one -- shelters won't even let you adopt here unless you provide outdoor access -- and I can understand both sets of arguments. But it does mean bird flu is going to be horrendously devastating for cats when it spreads in the UK.
Trump blames CDC’s reporting for tanking the markets in 2020 (otherwise, he would have cruised to re-election) as opposed to say, hundreds of thousands of Americans dying of COVID. So naturally, any new infection that threatens to go pandemic has to be ignored at all costs. Lord help us!
Just like Covid, in Trump world, diseases miraculously all just disappear overnight just as long as you ignore them entirely and Trump doesn’t get any bad press about it.
If their endgame isn’t to significantly cull the population via disease, abject poverty, natural disaster, or outright slaughter—
it sure looks that way
Granted, they're evil jerks, but think it's about being afraid of taking responsibility for a crisis. Trump blew it the first time, he and his cohorts are pretending that ignoring H5N1 will go away.
Who needs conspiracies when we have malicious stupidity?
this may have been, during the the covid years... but we're currently dealing with actions that have been planned well in advance via P2025. This is not them shirking responsibility, this is them asserting their world-view
They've always blown off victims of COVID and said that they should've died. They also have openly been pro eugenics. Including Trump specifically saying that someone in his circle should've let his disabled kid die when that guy asked Trump to signal boost awareness of his kid's disability.
If we don't test for bird flu and don't track it then the outbreak won't be too bad. That should be easy to understand. Nothing to worry about, Daddy Donold is taking care of us the best he know how.😕
When your government is hiding information from scientists that you pay for, to help you make informed decisions and protect yourself, then the problem isn't the scientists - it's the government.
Did you know you can NOT pull up anything current from the WHO or the CDC PubMed on N1H5 bird flu????,,, CDC claims their site is down due to complying with trumps executive orders.....
This also happened this afternoon. I was told Louisville had their first cases of bird flu today, googled it, then when I clicked on the link it was wiped.
Please, if there are any veterinarians on here who could chime in, I am getting so anxious about protecting my cats from bird flu. They are indoor only, but I’m worried about their pet food being safe. They don’t get raw food, but how do I know if the wet food is processed safely?
I'm not a vet, but I was a certified food manager in another life. If you're stressed about this possibility, heat the food in the microwave to at least 165° F temperature throughout to deactivate any potential viral contaminants and then rapidly cool it to a safe serving temp for your cat
I am so appreciative of your insight! I have felt so helpless hearing about it being lethal for cats. Because gosh knows their wet food has so many “meat by products” in it I wouldn’t be able to erase poultry from the diet.
What would you suggest for rapidly cooling it? Sticking it in the freezer?
No problem! And yes, the refrigerator or freezer would definitely be fine - try to keep to small portions - the most important thing is not allowing it to sit out in the temp danger zone of 40-140° F where bacteria can multiply.
Okay great. I might move to three wet food snack size meals throughout the day, so I can heat and cool and not have a chance it sits out.
I feel more secure having even a modicum of control and actions I can do in the face of this.
Thank you again.
Your cats would need to have contact with animals that had bird flu. A sick animal would have to cough on their food. Although that method of transmission is highly unlikely. I'm not a vet, but I worked on flu for a state head department.
Thanks for replying! I grew initially concerned because back when science was Allowed to be published here there were reports of zoo big cats and other domestic cats getting sick from the meat of deceased animals with the virus. Is that a more likely transmission?
Definitely, when an animal preys on another animal, it is exposed to all sorts of bodily fluids and body parts. They also may have had nose to nose contact.
So by being turned into wet food/processed meat, any of those fluids and stuff which made the big cats out west sick might be eliminated since the domestic cats aren’t eating the corpses directly?
This is such a gross subject for me as a vegan lol, but I would never make my cats vegan
If you go outside and happen to step in bird poop (goose, duck)k or fill birdfeeders, disinfect your shoes using bleach/water mixture for several minutes, and wash your hands before touching your animals
Thanks so much! I live in NYC so I just presume I’ve stepped in bird poop at least from pigeons. I have the hallway into my house gated off, & we keep all the shoes there. They don’t go past the gate and the cats can’t enter. Should I also still bleach them? Bleach odor is bad for cats too no?
And I have a strictly enforced “you take off your shoes and wash your hands right away” law in my house since forever lol. Anyone coming in especially off the subway can’t touch anything til hands washed.
Thank you so much for the advice! I’ve been floored by the help from all of you 🫶
The question, and let's face it that nothing can be a conspiracy against these assholes until proven wrong, is did the CDC remove it or did whatever malware #fuckyouelon put in the systems delete it.... Inquiring minds want to know...
It's going 2 be bad publicity for Trump and wreck his hero movie in his head if BOTH Trump terms record a Trump botched job managing epidemics/ Trump had over a million people die on his watch first term-Covid/ How many can he kill 2nd term? Maybe we shld manage our own health and NOT count on Trump
I feel bad about this but I quit feeding birds so they won’t come in our very small backyard. We have a screen porch our cats go out in. Can’t risk it. We are on own. No help from govt since I guess it’s “wasteful.”
#trumpmuskchumps
The bird flu data removed from the CDC MMWR included crucial information about the risks of bird flu to people and pets. The data suggests an infected cat might have spread the virus to a human adolescent.
They will get us all killed and are so fucking stupid because it will kill them too! I will laugh at him if Mango Mussolini gets another pandemic on his watch.
Oh he will. Mr Trump is president pestilence. I use that line with fundies these days. I mean, it’s almost as if we are getting punished. (And they believe it)
I have to wonder if the quick post and deletion is a strategy. They have been forbidden from communicating with the public about bird flu. But they know people watch the site and will quickly grab anything that appears. Maybe it's a way to give it to us to carry out the communication they can't.
He is going to kill more people hiding information just like he did with Covid. Trump and Musk will fuck everything up. Our air, water, food, medicine, education, national security is in the hands of these incompetent assholes.
Stop with the BS. Everyone is going to die it’s only a matter of when. We can’t handle another lockdown, we couldn’t handle the first. Living in lockdown is not a natural way to live, best to remain normal and risk death.
Democratic leader should be speaking out, urging people with information-doctors, researchers other government- to speak out and share information regardless of what the Trump suppressed CDC wants to do.
Probably? They seem to be figuring out how to kill the most of us the most quickly (plane crashes, pandemics, bleeding out in parking lots in lieu of medical care, etc.).
Like Covid ..Trump's Treatment & DENIABILITY of PANDEMIC....HE HOPES TO DO SAME THING! IGNORE THE OBVIOUS & GIVE LAME ASS CURES...LIKE INGESTING BLEACH, PUTTING AN ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT UP YOUR ASS, OR USING OTHER CLEANING SOLVENTS ON YOUR BODY! IRONIC THAT PLAGUES FOLLOW TRUMP/ BECAUSE BOTH R DEADLY!!!
So really we have no idea if something is safe to consume, unless the package date is pre-tRump. It won't be long before Americans are banned entry to pretty much every other country because there is no disease data available.
Eating meat, dairy & eggs were already sketchy enough in the U.S. before tRump. I can't imagine how bad it's going to get now.
Fortunately, I will also have some security by living in Canada. At least with food.
I'll be moving back there as soon as I can. tRump is trying to strongarm Canada & the EU into taking all the fake additive filled food regularly consumed here.
Many of those additives have been forbidden in Europe for 30+ years and there is no way Europe will agree to that. I wish Canada and Europe could work together and avoid working with the US. Some South American countries and Mexico already signed a trade deal with EU.
I think Canada is talking to the EU, and just signed a deal with Ecuador. The only response to all this bullying is to ignore tRump and work around him.
Yes, again! The #FOTUS wants to cancel info from NOAA since they dared to inform citizens where Hurricane Dorian was really going to hit. So 🍊a$$ added sharpie markings to include Alabama (not in HC zone), but NOAA corrected it. So he wants to be sure no one knows about weather emergencies 🤬 WTAF!!

Is this how DOGE and Trump plan on cutting government running costs?
By combining policies and departments with their equivalents in Russia?
Grateful that someone is unintentionally letting the public know, so ppl can benefit from the data.
idk why they want ppl to die
i just cant figure out the motive for enabling ppl to get sick
Plus they assume it will either be poor ppl or those in urban areas, who are more likely to be Dems.
They believe that these people are pulling all of society down.
Give the poor a smidge of good fortune & they’d merrily take what’s given, without question.

"Stop the testing!" - trump during covid
Here is Raven
I don't know if US organizations provide them any more or provide them with the motive of just letting you think it'll only be a temporary or short problem.
I've tried every which way but loose. 🫤

My familiarity is primarily earthquake and doctor created disasters.
One cuckoo flu over the birds' nest?
Or was it avian cardiac arrest?
Do the birds need to be vaxxed?
Or will the people be masked?
Are the leaders still sane?
Or will we all die in pain?
Does anybody care?
Or should we even dare?
Its just not fair!
eeeeesh
Muffled
Muzzled
Waiting to be
Rescued
I see nothing but problems coming up.
Previously, President Biden WAS going to ask hospitals to check for avian flu in sick patients. You know…just in case.
DJT doesn’t care. Die.
Trump: "It disappeared like magic"
RIP CDC.
it sure looks that way
Who needs conspiracies when we have malicious stupidity?
I hope for the day when I no longer need to pay such close attention to this piece of the shit show, tbh
CDC people alert key researchers outside of the government that data is about to drop.
Post it, let the researchers download it, and then remove it quickly as if it was "posted by mistake".

Have definitely canned lots of deer neck mincemeat, though.
Canning temps for meat demands temps up to 250º F. That's way, way more than any influenza virus can stand.
If your cats stay inside, they're fine.
I am the kind of cook that always dries out chicken and turkey worrying about temp and viruses
I really appreciate your insight!
Thank you so much for the advice! I’ve been floored by the help from all of you 🫶
He knows he’s fine, for now. To him, that is the only thing that matters.
Millions will die. Period.
Even the enabling R's know they will have blood on their hands. It's their worst nightmare.

For now, just keeping my cats away from raw food & dead birds.
Is keeping the population in the dark about many things.
