US: H5N1 Bird flu in Cattle "There’s some indication with this rapid multistate spread that this thing is airborne." Science Magazine science.org/content/articl…
@CoronaHeadsUp Yeah. They’re suspecting a reassortment has taken place between subtypes.
@CoronaHeadsUp "The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is not requiring farmers to cull affected herds, as it does when the virus attacks poultry farms. USDA officials stress that pasteurization kills the virus in any milk produced by an infected cow." WCGW @amethystarlight
@CoronaHeadsUp @MarvinCori I love how they think it could be airborne but aren’t taking airborne precautions when sampling a sick animal
@CoronaHeadsUp This is a disaster of mammoth proportions The cattle industry is worth billions
@CoronaHeadsUp “The cattle infections are spoiling milk & causing limited disease in mostly older animals. Dead birds have also been found on some of the farms, which may explain the source of the virus. Public health officials have stressed that the risk to humans from the virus remains low.”
@CoronaHeadsUp This wasn't from heat:
@CoronaHeadsUp @figgdimension Um....well....yeah. It's a bird flu. What you think? The birds get sick and just don't fly anymore? So, maybe not the kind of airborne you were supposing but certainly a bird flu can travel by air in the feathered flying things with beaks commonly known to the world as birds.
