Didn't İt turn out to be Malaria or was I misinformed?

The CDC will be right there to help. Oh wait, Trump said no help and is dismantling the CDC. Someone somewhere needs to help us with our Trump problem so we can help you.

Hemorrhagic but not ebola. That is insaaaane. I hope they figure out what's going on.

I just took a look through the site (not realizing it is a Gopher site... damn gophers). Saw another article about Birdflu, hits close to home. A county just 30 minutes away affecting 30k birds ... https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/avian-influenza-bird-flu/exceptionally-rare-mutation-h5n1-virus-canada-tied-antiviral-drug

Why won’t people leave bats tf alone? Jesus, eat something else

You wouldn’t be saying that if you’d ever had really good fresh bat, not that minced up frozen crap.

Must be true ‘cause they’re willing to die and/or kill others for it

Sounds like you should go visit to witness the plethora of food readily available in this remote region of one of the poorest & war torn countries on the planet.
Pack some snacks for yourself tho. 😑

I was trying for a bat joke - what have I done?!?

Hopefully, this isn't another round of COVID, or if it is the United States will have another pandemic because of all the idiots that hate vaccines. But then if it is something else, our health department can't be trusted under RFK jr either so we are in for then too.

Not the new bat Covid?

Unless Bats have found a way to fly from China to the Congo.

sblueyez.bsky.social•5 hours ago

lol yeahhh you’re right. Although shipping containers are a thing that does this thing but probably far fetched.

crimson-rove.bsky.social•5 hours ago

It's possible but IDK if a sick bat would fly into an open shipping container. If it was an insect or a spider... totally get it. But a Bat...I agree that's Far Fetched. But I've learned that Reality is far more Far Fetched than Fiction dreams of. So who knows 🤷
