CDC issues warning over outbreak of 'cow flu' in multiple Americans
Daily Mail ^ | 11-8-24 | HEALTH REPORTER

The H5N1 bird flu virus spreading among cows is infecting more farm workers than experts realized.

The CDC tested 115 workers at farms suffering outbreaks and found eight of them tested positive for the virus - an infection rate of seven percent.

Many of them had no symptoms, which officials fear indicates H5N1 is spreading much more widely than the official numbers show.

Forty-six farm workers have been officially diagnosed with the virus but hundreds of cattle farms in dozens of states are experiencing outbreaks.

The CDC is now recommending anyone exposed to infected animals get tested, not just those who become sick.

The agency said it is not seeing mutations in the virus that would lead to easier transmission or evidence of person-to-person spread.

But disease experts have warned that as the virus circulates, the chance of evolving increases, which could lead to a pandemic.

Anyone who just believes that nature is suddenly and randomly producing all these virus’s that are jumping species is so ignorant and gullible that they would believe anything.

The bio labs have been very busy.

Only if the demonratcommieblmantifaterrorscumfeminazipedophilegoatrapers keep procreating. One would think that they should be close to extinction based on their quest for getting abortions but they just keep spawning.

Maybe we need to create a demonratcommieblmantifaterrorscumfeminazipedophilegoatrapers-B-Gone Pest Control Trap or Glue Board type thing.
