Authorities have confirmed the first human death in the United States caused by highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), or H5N1.

The announcement was made by the Louisiana Department of Health on Monday, Jan. 6.

The patient, a man over 65 with underlying health conditions, was hospitalized before succumbing to the illness after exposure to a non-commercial backyard flock and wild birds.

The Louisiana Department of Health said it has conducted a public health investigation and found no additional cases or evidence of person-to-person transmission.

The department extended condolences to the patient’s family and stated this will be the final update regarding the patient to respect the person's privacy.

Public Health Risk Remains Low
Health officials assure the public that the risk of H5N1 infection remains low.

However, individuals who work closely with birds or have recreational exposure are at higher risk. LDH recommends the following protective measures:

* Avoid Direct Contact: Do not handle sick or dead birds or their droppings, and avoid bringing sick wild animals into your home.

* Protect Pets: Keep pets away from sick or dead animals and their feces.

* Cook Food Thoroughly: Ensure poultry, eggs, and animal products are fully cooked to eliminate pathogens.

* Avoid Unpasteurized Products: Do not consume raw milk or cheeses from animals suspected of carrying bird flu.

Those exposed to sick or dead birds should monitor for symptoms such as respiratory issues or conjunctivitis for 10 days following exposure. If symptoms develop, inform healthcare providers about the exposure for appropriate testing and treatment.

This continues to be a developing story. Check back to Daily Voice for updates.

“over 65 with underlying health conditions”

That reminds me of the fact that 94% of who died “from covid” had average of 4 additional comorbidities.

What they do not tell us is that he had several comorbidities. The fact that he had avian flu, was just the last straw that pushed this person across the finish line of his life. Or he could have even died of one of his many other medical ailments and died with the avian flu, just like many who died with Covid, not from Covid.

Whatever you do, do not fall for these fear tactics again.

Fool me one, shame on you, fool me again, shame on me.

Billionaires are angling to make a fortune off this, who wants to miss the jackpot opportunity!

If they didn’t put up or hype the whole thing to begin with

Yup. But I think TLI has a good point, too (a boat):

“All aboard!”

Dana Loesch was talking about ‘positivity’ regarding some new x algorithm they’re touting. It’s rather germane to this thread.

So I immediately though about the positive in regard to everyone who believes this tripe (for whom this garbage is distributed):

Medical costs will go down because about half the population will be self-diagnosing colon polyps.
