Bird Flu Spreads in Cattle to Michigan and Idaho, With 2 Human Cases Also Confirmed​

Highly pathogenic avian influenza has been found on dairy herds in Michigan and Idaho, indicating further spread to other U.S. states. At the same time, The Washington Post has reported that a person in Texas is being treated for the illness after coming in contact with dairy cows — the second such case in a human.
The National Veterinary Services Laboratories confirmed the presence of bird flu in the Michigan herd on Friday after the herd had recently brought in cows from Texas. The strain confirmed was similar to those found in Texas and Kansas dairies.

Presumptive positive test results have also been received for additional herds in New Mexico, Idaho, and Texas.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture will share updates if those tests are confirmed positive by the national laboratories. “Federal and state agencies continue to conduct additional testing in swabs from sick animals and unpasteurized clinical milk samples from sick animals, as well as viral genome sequencing, to assess whether HPAI or another unrelated illness may be underlying any symptoms,” the USDA wrote in a news release on Friday.

It is believed that the strain confirmed in Texas and Kansas herds was introduced by wild birds (H5N1, Eurasian lineage goose/Guangdong clade 2.3.4.4b). Initial testing has not found changes to the virus that would make it more transmissible to humans. While cases among humans in direct contact with infected animals are possible, this indicates that the current risk to the public remains low.

The spread of symptoms within the Michigan cattle herd suggests that HPAI transmission among cattle is possible. The USDA and its partners closely monitor the situation and have advised veterinarians and producers to adhere to strict biosecurity measures.

This includes testing animals before any necessary movements, reducing animal transfers, and isolating sick cattle from the herd. Among the affected dairies, the symptomatic animals have recovered after being isolated, with minimal to no associated deaths reported.

We're all gona die!!

Just last week I read articles about them finding Bird Flu in dairy cattle and they all said oh its not that bad, the cattle get over it, and there is no spread between cattle. Now today its the exact opposite. Cattle are spreading it amongst themselves and all the worry of how bad this will be has caused the cattle futures to drop like a stone. My take is it isn't going to be that bad but this fear is a reason to drop the futures so the rich can buy low and sell high in a week or two when they rebound.

They should have the cows wear masks...the professionals said it will stop the spread.

Infected chicken detection using computer software programs with a biosensor. It's a start to a new way to deal with infected animals instead of the old ways of culling the whole flock.

Not a dig on anyone personally. However, I for one am a bit BORED with the same tired scare tactics used to promote whatever agenda is in vogue at the current time. Let's just name a few world ending population depleting let's all just sit and wait to die buzz words I've heard in my short lifetime shall we......HIV-ebola-sars-mers-h1n1-dengue fever-malaria-west nile virus-chikungunya-zeke-yellow fever-lyme disease-covid-h5n1-lonestar tick can't eat meat disease-mad cow-climate change-solar flares-cwd possibly infecting people BS-and the list goes on and on. According to all the so called "experts" humanity should have met a gruesome end decades ago....and yet....here we are. All I can say is "Yeah and I could get hit by a fucking meteor too. Should we all wear helmets just in case?" I have better things to do than entertain ANY of these apocalyptic prophets and whatever the new global killer is going to be. Here is my take on this whole bird flu can of panic. When snow geese populations reach a level where spring hunts are ended, I might pay attention. When early canada goose seasons are ended, I might pay attention. When the 3 day flocks of blackbirds in the fall dwindle to a couple groups a week and the farmers quit bitching about the birds eating their crops, I might pay attention. Until then. Take the chicken little panty waist climate change virus going to kill us all stupidity and put it under your tighty whities. Ok. Thanks!! Carry On!

When I was a kid in grade school AIDS scared the life out of me. I thought for certain humans would all die off. Crazy how you don’t hear a peep about it any longer. I must of learned from that cause I knew Covid was a scam from the get go. It also confirmed my suspicions of how gullible the population is and how they will believe anything and follow whatever the news tells them. You literally can’t believe a thing you see on the news or the internet.

Pretty strange take. HIV went from untreatable to practically curable. Hence why you don't hear much about it
