Let us hope that lessons are learned if it does become a pandemic.

They always say history repeats itself.

I think people who said the precautions we took in 2020 were more harmful than good may get a look at what happens when we don't take precautions during a pandemic.

We shouldn't live on hopium that things will be fine, but with all the politics...

guinesspig.bsky.social•100 days ago

May have…. lol

It *did* mutate to become more transmissible to humans.

It absolutely motherfucking did.

bradstreetfarm.bsky.social•100 days ago

It will take five years of peer-reviewed study to remove those two words. Meanwhile

We are running out of our own feet to shoot

Remember how you were feeling in late December of 2019? I was literally spraying a wall of lysol around myself whenever anyone sneezed in my vicinity.

renscot.bsky.social•99 days ago

That this was only caught by happenstance is even more terrifying

bekind08.bsky.social•98 days ago

I had Influenza A and HPIV-3 at the same time recently. Took me 25 days to recover due to neutropenia. It's only a matter of time people will be fighting both SARS2 and Bird Flu at the same time. Terrible where we are today wirh public health.

Awesome. 😥😷

Isn't it strange whenever the antichrist comes around, he brings the plague with him?

basebsll7.bsky.social•100 days ago

Yes and it was found in pigs so it's in our food chain

mindseyeofapoet.bsky.social•100 days ago

Still trying to get over pneumonia. So looking forward to bird flu🙄😔

littletomcat.bsky.social•100 days ago

Eagerly awaiting the official declaration "... but no one saw this coming" sometime in 2025 or so.

Take precautions
- masking (N95 best; KN95 fine & fitted surgical masks ok)
- protect eyes
- wash hands often return home, prep food, taking in food/mail
- remove outside shoes; spray bottoms with 70% alcohol
- HOCL is sanitizer safe for babies & pets. Use on pet paws returning from outside/1

4livingtheory.bsky.social•99 days ago

Food precautions
- no raw dairy milk, esp cow, esp in U.S. & CA, ultra pasteurized best
- only well cooked meat & poultry & eggs, no runny eggs . No red meat. Temperature charts can be found. /2

Right on time for the Trump regime.

eosine911.bsky.social•100 days ago

Still isn't going human to human. There have been a LOT of sick birds on farms and petting zoos getting culled lately. What are we to do? Price of eggs going up... avoid sick animals, don't let your pets pick up dead birds, etc. Awareness is good. So far there has been one human case in Canada.

thesiobhan.bsky.social•100 days ago

That we know about.

eosine911.bsky.social•100 days ago

True, it kills 50 percent of known cases. Let's hope there aren't others allowing for mutations that would go human to human.
There are more cases in the USA. With the incoming gov't they won't give it the attention needed. If it does start going human to human we will find out the hard way.

geoff-hanmer.bsky.social•100 days ago

Great.

jlmb.bsky.social•100 days ago

Good morning from Vancouver BC , I think you may be on the right track with this one…. Unfortunately.

decadencedancer.bsky.social•101 days ago

Tick tock indeed https://bsky.app/profile/decadencedancer.bsky.social/post/3lb6abzrw7c2t

kellp02.bsky.social•100 days ago

I spent 11 hrs in a 🇨🇦 ER last week.

As I read about the BC teen in the ICU, I saw…

- Countless ppl hacking up their lungs
- Maskless staff in the ER (during a mask mandate🥴)
- Maskless patients eating & drinking
- Maskless Children

Total obliviousness.

The world is not ready for what’s next.

laurelleslie.bsky.social•100 days ago

Wait - there’s a mask mandate in Canada?

kellp02.bsky.social•100 days ago

Not at all. Hospitals create their own rules about mask mandates (as long as it’s approved by the Ministry of Health🙄).

Even then, masks can only be “strongly encouraged” because the freedom of comfort is more important than the freedom of health. 🥴

laurelleslie.bsky.social•100 days ago

I hear ya! I live in the armpit of “personal rights trump the Greater Good any day” territory.

kellp02.bsky.social•100 days ago

I’m sorry for that. I don’t recognize the world anymore. The viral damage we’ve allowed to happen to children’s bodies combined with the sad state of the planet is unforgivable.

proudcoastalchicka.bsky.social•99 days ago

Can we get a vaccine going?

elsbon.bsky.social•100 days ago

Shouldn't we be rolling out vaccines for this?

j071h11.bsky.social•100 days ago

📌

drclareharris.bsky.social•100 days ago

Yes, I’ve been following this closely considering I live in the city that houses the hospital that the teen is in and my grandkids live in the same part of BC that the infection was caught in.

When do you think they’ll offer us vaccines?

Not anytime soon. 🙄

😷 #MaskUp
