A RECENT study has confirmed that an H5N1 avian influenza virus isolated from a dairy farm worker in Michigan, USA can spread through the air between mammals
Putting this in news and not doomer because it seems like an important development.
Ah, shit, here we go again.Democratic Party: champions anti-maskers and mask bans
H5N1
mutates and goes airbornecan’t wait to know nothing about this until it’s already going human to human and spreading everywhere
And even then we’ll probably have to wait for another country to acknowledge it despite the US clearly accelerating it at every step.
oh shit it’s going to be china again isn’t it? and then they’ll just be blamed for it
Seems the most likely. Or Cuba or Vietnam.
It’s just a little flu
This is entirely expected but I would guess that this kind of confirmation is valuable for pushing forward any bureaucracy that could respond.
Remember when “the adults in the room” actively denied that SARS-CoV-2 could be spread by aerosol and they were telling you to not buy masks and to instead disinfect your produce?
“NOW THAT WE KNOW MORE ABOUT THE VIRUS… We need you all to come back to the open floor-plan office and spit in each other’s mouths”

For those of us who never stopped masking, this is just about the most unsurprising and disheartening news we can get. Thanks Joe for ending the pandemic.
^ This is the good Joe. The bad Joe tripped on the stairs and didn’t let gravity finish the job.
Bastard’s anti-science at every turn. Smh.
I had an “Avian Death” pandemic style scenario at the end of the trump into the newsom presidency on my futuristic world building campaign back in 2019 or so, btw.
at first i was like no shit the flu spreads via the air and then i remembered what h5n1 means
oh no. oh oj no.nonono
…what does it mean? (He said, in fear of the answer)
It’s bird flu
Oh, I thought you were talking about some property of the virus. I got that much from ‘Avian Influenza’ in the body. Thx for clarifying anyway
i’m so shocked
Well, we’re boned
Well doy, it’s in the name you silly scientists
