Is it soup yet?

Another gift from China.

SSDD.

[I want the USA back]

The left doesn’t need another bug crisis. They used the first one to get rid of Trump. The next crisis will be the economy.

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Ping - now 46 countries !

[DJ MacWoW]

The next “Mask-erade”?

[sageburn]

I wonder if gets passed on to humans as a pandemic what data is going to be collected as to how it affects people who got “vaccinated” and those who did not.

[null and void]

The good news is Dr. Fauci just declared that if you wear two swim suits you can pee in the pool all summer.

[wbslws]

Congress already has this disease because they all are bird brains.

Hmmm..... I’ll start a pool

How many countries by the end of May?
june?
july?

If the number of countries approaches 70 by August, will Prime Minister Pelosi recall the National Guard to protect her office?

[rdl6989]

Here we go again.

[AppyPappy]

Oh great. Another cult starting up

[Mr Ramsbotham]

The good news is Dr. Fauci just declared that if you wear two swim suits you can pee in the pool all summer.

LOL!

[the OlLine Rebel]

H5N1 is HIGHLY deadly. Unlike this joke of a virus. I would much rather have been hysterical over a bird flu than this minor SARS.

[Red Badger]

Probably in the egg drop soup ...............

> Another gift from China. <

True. But it’s racist to say that. I think you’re supposed to blame it on Trump instead.

In all seriousness, in a fair world every country on Earth should be seizing any Chinese assets they can get their hands on. Use those assets to pay for the damage Covid has done.

But, no. Instead we buy Chinese-made hand sanitizers to protect ourselves from a Chinese virus. No wonder this guy looks happy

Infectious Disease Ping- Avian Virus (H5N1 and subtypes/H5N8) - zoonotic possible risk from avians to human transmission.
WHO has lab reported and identified 862 cases, and 455 deaths
Most frequent cases (76%) found in Egypt and Indonesia

"To date, there have been a total of 862 laboratory-confirmed human cases of infection with H5N1
reported to the World Health Organization (WHO), including 455 deaths," Shi and Gao explain.
"These cases were from 17 countries, with ~76 percent from Egypt and Indonesia."
But zoonotic risks are only part of the problem with H5N8 and its ilk.
In most of the recent outbreaks, a clade of H5N8 called 2.3.4 has become the dominant pathogen worldwide , first seen in a Chinese wet market in 2010.

“ Nonetheless, in the same time frame, a number of highly pathogenic H5Ny AIVs, including H5N1, H5N2, H5N5, and H5N8 subtypes,
spread across China, South Africa, Europe, Eurasia, and elsewhere.
At the same time, research has shown that clade 2.3.4 viruses show particular cell-binding adaptations that could pose greater risks for human transmission,
including potentially human-to-human transmissibility."
