California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency due to H5N1, more commonly known as avian influenza or bird flu.

The emergency follows an outbreak of the virus among dairy cows in Southern California farms, according to the news release on the governor’s website.

After initially being reported in Texas and Kansas in March, bird flu has been confirmed in cattle across 16 U.S. states, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported.

"This proclamation is a targeted action to ensure government agencies have the resources and flexibility they need to respond quickly to this outbreak," Governor Newsom said in a statement.

The health agency maintains that "the current public health risk is low," but said it is "watching the situation carefully."

There have been no cases of human transmission of bird flu in California, the release stated, with all infections linked to exposure to infected cattle.

Aside from one guy allegedly with pink eye from the bird flu, has ANYONE gotten sick, much less died from it?

He may be trying to set up a procedure to block Trump’s deportation plans for California.

If you are worried about cow’s milk, probably the best substitute I’ve found is *unsweetened* almond milk. If for no other reason than it has almost no sugar or other carbs.

Good taste, neutral flavor, mouth feel, smoothness, etc. About the only problem would be if you have a nut allergy.

Ha. That’s like the people who opposed a long deer season to cull the herds in some states due to overpopulation effects.

One suggestion by a comedian was to send out the anti-hunting advocates to put condoms on all the males.

Real story in at least one Michigan county. A professional team was contracted to go into some woods areas to shoot deer to cut down on the epidemic of serious car crashes from deer.
The teams found wimpy leftist activists sitting down deliberately in the cordoned areas because the teams would have to stand down by law if a person were sighted. I could just picture the pale skinned, scraggly haired vacant eyes types that must have sat down. Part of the reason more women are delaying marriage longer.

“About the only problem would be if you have a nut allergy.”

We’ve tried almond milk and it’s OK. But I do have a nut allergy, I can get around it by staying away from democrats.
