God this is a tragedy.

freedariviera.bsky.social•63 days ago

Perfect storm approaching for the incoming Trump administration and its unqualified appointees.

christinesayshi.bsky.social•63 days ago

That’s just so sad 😞

The H5N1 pandemic is gonna SUCK.

drbevisaghast.bsky.social•63 days ago

Oh no 😪

mjibrown.bsky.social•63 days ago

The interplay between various types of animals, people and the virus in the United States is quite remarkable (and interesting to compare to the Wuhan Wet Market(.

kcar.me•63 days ago

It’s pretty much got a 100% death rate in cats and dogs.

awelder.bsky.social•63 days ago

Now consider because there are so many tigers in private estates and public zoos in North America, there are actually more of them in that continent than in their native Asia. If H5N1 rips through North America it will devastate an already vulnerable species

kcar.me•63 days ago

It’s only about 53% in humans

wolfcat.bsky.social•63 days ago

It is really lucky that as a species we learned the lessons from the last pandemic and would proactively work to address a new one.

Oh wait... we are sooooooo fucked.

grogsgamut.bsky.social•63 days ago

Hey now, the US has strong leadersh… yeah. We’re stuffed

wolfcat.bsky.social•63 days ago

Yep, that was what I was thinking.

kathyreid.au•63 days ago

Only 😭

kcar.me•63 days ago

We’ll be fine. They know how to make vaccines for us pretty quickly. It’s my pupper I’m worried about.

It's our wildlife I'm most concerned about, assuming we will have vaccines on time. Helping them is only ever a poorly funded afterthought at best.

drmel.bsky.social•63 days ago

Here’s hoping Tamiflu still works on this one… maybe even for pets.

ivalaine.bsky.social•63 days ago

Im not feeding her wet chicken food any more. Kibble surely would be safe as super cooked and dried out? Her prescription diet only has one flavour

kcar.me•63 days ago

Yup no more turkey mince for MrMaxi

kateraindrops.bsky.social•63 days ago

Need eggs for the vaccine, which potentially could be a massive issue

kcar.me•63 days ago

Good-ish news https://www.embs.org/pulse/articles/new-vaccine-manufacturing-methods-are-moving-away-from-the-egg/

cdrhbiscuitiii.bsky.social•63 days ago

Nope, we won'r be fine either

Again Mother Nature letting America know she doesn’t approve when they elect tRump.

peridotorchid.bsky.social•63 days ago

This tragedy happened in my state, and I'm worried sick about what's coming. No wild or domestic animals or humans are safe. It's not getting enough media coverage either. Shocker. 😡

heathryan16.bsky.social•63 days ago

But who needs a CDC? Who needs vaccines? In fact, who needs WHO?

The US is on a precipice. For those stat-side who don’t know that word, your library might still have a Merriam-Webster’s dictionary.

heathryan16.bsky.social•63 days ago

* state-side (sorry, typo)

If you haven't seen this, a really important piece of reporting from Amy Maxmen https://bsky.app/profile/amymaxmen.bsky.social/post/3ldqrpnc3zs2q

Thanks!

groovygrannie.bsky.social•63 days ago

That. is. HUGE.

forbestonow.bsky.social•63 days ago

It's just as well the incoming administration has selected some sane, rational and non huckster nominees for the health related portfolios including the NIH... Just kidding.

sdhamiltonvic.bsky.social•63 days ago

Sheesh.

lisazed.bsky.social•63 days ago

#ClimateCrisis consequences starting to heat up!
This is just the beginning!
