Bird Flu - originating where? CHINA... Can anyone give a plausible reason so many viruses (particularly flu) originate in China that isn’t part of something fare more insidious?

I’d think only those you describe who are in some contact with livestock need to worry - at least any more than they already worry.

What we know is that thisis nothing more than monkey pox BS! It is either no real danger like the WuhanFlu and/or transmissible only as a STD.

I think the first strain of A(H5N1) discovered was in Scotland in 1959.

I have my suspicions about ‘Covid 19’; but this seems to be natural.

We’ve had bad outbreaks before, like 2014-15.

I am reminded of back in 1976 and the hysteria over the first man to contract the dreaded SWINE FLU! He survived.

As far as I have read, more people died while standing in line for the shot than of the flu. I believe after all the hysteria only one person actually died of the flu.

These farmworkers really need to stop having sex with chickens.

It has always been intriguing that Covid killed so many oldsters in Europe and the US in 2020, starting in March. Hundreds of thousands.

But Asia . . . Asia was spared until 2021/2022, when mutations had had a chance to arrive.

The original design spared Asians. Only when the variants hit did the death count in Asia rocket upwards.

What a coincidence.

'transmissible only as a STD.'

LOL! It would be kind of funny watching someone contract bird flu as an STD...

I don’t know. I’ve just never been able to buy the story about bats from an area so far away. I think it probably accidentally escaped from the lab.

Do you mean to urgently imply that TWO cases of bird flu are somehow important?

But I thought it was deadlier than the plague.

The farmworker had mild symptoms and has since recovered...

He has, however, grown feathers and appears to be obsessed with crossing the road.

Ok, so said farmworker rushed to his doctor to be tested for a mild cold. I call BS.

If I had a dairy herd or a poultry farm, amid the current news I’d rush to the doctor. There would be sense in this, if you were worried about the virus affecting your livestock - you might be the ‘canary’ in the ‘mine’.

The people here who are so concentrated on everything that happened during Covid aren’t thinking about the possible cost to farmers if a farm is infected.

It will probably be the USDA that ‘takes control’. They’ve already ordered that dairy cows have to be tested before being transported to another state.
