Health officials in Louisiana say a person there has died after catching bird flu. This marks the first reported death in the U.S. from the virus during the current outbreak.

Oh no! I pray we won’t have another viral outbreak during Trump’s presidency. President Biden, if you can hear me, resurrect President Obama’s pandemic playbook! Now!
Luckily RFK Jr will swoop in, just in time to do nothing to stop it. It might be an epidemiological study. The Dems get vaccinated, the MAGAs don't. Which would provide a sad boost to natural selection.
Some Christians have been off track for quite a while. There’s a difference between pray and prey. My mom doesn’t quite get the difference between the two.
Yep, my parents and Jimmy Carter and his wife are the only couples that I can safely say earned a place in Heaven based on deeds and actions to serve others. I’m not sure who else can measure up. Luckily, I don’t have to judge anyone, at anytime.
No, but it is something that has been said by Christian leaders in the past. Ring a bell? “Religious Leaders” saying that a state was undergoing a catastrophic event because God thought that they deserved it. I can pull the research for you, if necessary.
The Bible specifically tells them that they will fall for false prophets, it even tells them how to spot one. Yet every time one comes along Christians can’t wait to bow to them.
It’s all very well to say this person was more likely to die from “comorbidities”. But remember, they were possibly infectious before they did. So others could still come down with it.
#TexasMooFlu will require to spill over into another nation for anyone to have any real data and information on #H5N1. Our prognosis is Brazil will be where H2H transmission 1st appears due to their cattle trade with the US. https://bsky.app/profile/realitycheckmarker.bsky.social/post/3lbagw2wonk2s
His lord highness majesty the republiKING orange Jezeus and his maga acolytes will handle this as well as a greased up wrestler handling a greased up pig.
H5N1 will solve the population problem world wide if it become contagious.
I think Robert Kennedy and the MAGA crowd should be the brave and courageous ones to forego any vaccine so we’ll know if it works or not.
Yeah but they'll survive due to world class healthcare when they're hospitalized at the taxpayer expense and go on to say it's really not that bad and vaccines are evil and they are proof they're unnecessary.
Meh—Suggesting that a deadly virus like H5N1 could solve any issue, particularly the population problem, is both dangerous and irresponsible. It’s essential to remember that the purpose of public health measures, including vaccines, is to protect lives, not endanger them.
Interesting idea! Nature doesn’t target us, but viruses evolve to survive. Still, we humans have the power to harm the planet, and nature might just hit reset if we’re not careful.
Everyone, regardless of political affiliation, should be encouraged to make decisions based on scientific evidence and expert guidance, especially when it comes to matters of health.
Promoting harm or risky behavior doesn’t contribute to solving problems—it just puts lives at risk. We all deserve to live in a world where safety and compassion guide our actions.
It's not yet. But some massive failures early on could make it as bad as COVID in the USA or worse. If it mutates in a way that enhances contagion between people, and the MAGA keeps MAGA-ing, this one could be terribly deadly. I hope I am wrong
^^Exactly^^ there have been over 90 human case documented. This is the first death. All the transmission has been animal to human. Chill out folks. Follow the science. I recommend the current CDC data (until Jan 21st)
65 +, co-morbidities, no barriers, very unfortunate. No surveillance of wild populations, or at least public surveillance. I've read it decimated a large cat refuge, it's been detected in Antarctica, it's everywhere now, just hasn't jumped yet.
Yeah, that’s is the $64,000 question: will it? And if it does will it be like regular flu or more contagious/virulent. The good news is we have RNA vaccine tech we learned from COVID and could hopefully get a vaccine out quickly
The covid situation wasn't a covid situation until it was declared a pandemic. This is why action needs to be taken before it becomes another covid situation. Until the virus of covid somehow mutated it wasn't a problem, then it was. There's a reason for early interventions & pandemic plans.
And before Covid was a world wide pandemic, "an extensive public health investigation" of it wouldn't have found it in a person or evidence of human-to-human spread'. This is the reason why h5N1 needs to be dealt with before that happens. Public Health is about prevention.
Good thing the Dems were adults today, so we can have a narcissistic idiot in the White House while the bird flu comes to kill us in our sleep. Rule of law was nice while it lasted.
It's ok! North America was totally prepared for another pandemic, and is now! And the incoming administration in the US is pro-scien--- ah fuckit, we are doomed.
We are just waiting for the mutation that will make the virus transmissible from human to human. Like watching a crash in slow motion. The most ignorant among us have decided that if the science isn’t in the Bible, it doesn’t exist. It’s why 300 years ago people died at 45, and will again tomorrow.
Some experts have accused the Biden administration of a lackluster bird flu response. In a report issued last month, the Center for Strategic and International Studies... said the administration “continues to fall short in its management of the threat”. https://features.csis.org/US-bird-flu-response/
Once again, it’s the “over 65 with underlying health issues” label. Like that makes it any better that that poor soul caught bird flu and died? Where have we heard that description before? Start laying in your pandemic supplies, because they’ll be in short to no supply if this virus takes off.
Thanks to greater and bigger cutbacks in the FDA and other federal associations there are less and less inspectors, less support. The next four years expect more salmonella and other diseases to be widespread with MAGA Nazis talking elimination of federal oversight organizations.
States aren't truly red or blue. They're filled with actual people from all kinds of backgrounds. Infectious disease spreads regardless of who you are. Being small-minded the way Trump has always wanted to be wouldn't improve anything overall. It would punish everyone.
The blue dots in the red areas would trust the science and survive. I'm just saying since MAGA has a death wish, let them die miserably, and give no help to them. They won't learn otherwise. It takes too much effort to keep the stupid alive when they don't want to listen .
You can bet the worst healthcare in the US, Louisiana pumped him full of Hydroxy Chloroquine & Ivermectin to cure him of any hook worms, round worms, heart worms, tape worms & ear mites
Hydroxychloroqine is also used for autoimmune disorders like fibromyalgia and lupus because it weakens the immume system, reducing autoimmune attacks. So had that been done, it could definitely have contributed to the death.

I just can't with these people.

"The patient contracted the illness after being exposed to "a combination of a non-commercial backyard flock and wild birds,"...
They said they've done extensively studying this outbreak and no alarm bells are being rung from the medical community.

"An "extensive public health investigation" did not turn up any other cases of H5N1 in a person or evidence of human-to-human spread."
I can't to see how they screw it up horribly this time.
Y'all better be buying up that veterinary worm medicine and keep some Clorox handy. 🙄🤦🏼♀️
