Thousands of residents of the northwest Chinese city of Lanzhou have been diagnosed with brucellosis, a highly infectious bacterial disease after they were exposed to polluted air from a state pharmaceutical company late last year.
According to health authorities on Tuesday, 3,245 people have tested positive for Brucella bacteria antibodies out of 21,847 people tested so far in Lanzhou, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported.
Local health authorities announced on December 26 that the Lanzhou Biopharmaceutical Plant, a unit of the state-run China Animal Husbandry Industry, “used expired sanitizers while producing Brucella vaccines between July 24 and August 20” last year. “This resulted in the bacteria entering the factory’s exhaust and infecting people nearby,” officials said, according to Beijing-based news site Caixin Global.

Are you sure its actually chicken? Have you checked the neighborhood for missing cats?
Down on the dairy farm, when I was a kid, brucellosis was a highly feared disease. Among other things, it caused spontaneous abortions in cattle. This meant the loss of the calf, and the loss of that cow’s milk production because normal lactation was interrupted by the premature calving. It would also mean potential infection of the entire herd. Also known as Bangs Disease, a vaccine was developed, and all cattle were required to be vaccinated. If memory serves, I seem to recall that once the disease came to a farm, it could linger and lurk in the soil for years. Maybe decades.
...or dogs....
It is containgous thru the anus and everyone now put on your ass masks.
Don’t think Bang’s lives in the soil for years. You may be thinking of anthrax. I have administered hundreds of the doses of vaccine to dairy cattle. Don’t recall it every being said it lives in the ground.

Roger that. It may have been local lore, caused by the dread of the disease among the farmers. I recall how fearful my parents were of infection of our herd.
Devastating disease. Still a big problem out here in the West where bison can share range with cattle.
I saw a “China has recovered, thanks to the government” posting on a bulletin board recently. The post came with pictures of happy people eating and playing in parks without masks. It was from a Brit working in China. It read like a cross between propaganda and a hostage forced-confession.
Here we go again.... how convenient ... right before US national elections...
......
Which national election?
It was an accident happened in 2019.
that the article comes out about this situation.... it was published yesterday - I’ll clarify next time...
At first I thought this referred to plants from the mysterious seed packets sent from China... LOL!
...or dogs....

They are for The General’s “Mongolian Beef”; cats are “chicken”
Thank you. Yes. The vaccine for Bang’s Disease only arrived in 1932(?) and I was born in 1939. So in those days it had not yet become “old hat”. Nerves were still on edge. I clearly remember my parents’ fears of it.
