So
To cats
To humans

No vaccine research

I can't tell if you're suggesting cat > human transmission or not. What is known now is that cats are highly susceptible to avain flu. It is not known if cat > cat transmission occurs but is probably rare, and there's not yet evidence of cat > human transmission.

There is a vaccine for poultry conditionally approved by the USDA, but lacks final approval for use. It's going to be a juggle for Trump: He's conditioned his cult to oppose vaccines but domestic egg prices and export meat is money.

Cat lovers, please. Do not feed your cats raw foods at this time! No matter what the imbeciles in the FDA say, the risk is high due to uncontrolled spread of this influenza. Do not risk your cats' lives.

I second this.
My husband n I cared for 20 cats throughout our marriage. Never. Raw. Food, its record is poor. 10 of them (so far) have lived to be 13 and older. Coming for my cats? Now it's personal!

Bird flu highly contagious.
Transmitted to 4 teenagers whom died.
All investigations were halted and investigators fired at CDC.
No investigations on going.
Bird flu everywhere.
Ducks eggs not affected.
Ironic.

How about turkeys?

Domestic turkeys are susceptible.
