Dairy cattle in Nevada have been infected with a new type of bird flu that’s different from the version that has spread in U.S. herds since last year, Agriculture Department officials said Wednesday.

The detection indicates that distinct forms of the virus known as Type A H5N1 have spilled over from wild birds into cattle at least twice. Experts said it raises new questions about wider spread and the difficulty of controlling infections in animals and the people who work closely with them.

“I always thought one bird-to-cow transmission was a very rare event. Seems that may not be the case,” said Richard Webby, an influenza expert at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Haha, we're fucked. Can I get a George Bush second plane meme?

Don’t worry folks! Trumps and Muskie are putting the best people in charge. Just the best. We’re all going to be fine.

These are woke DEI cows! We’re going to put a stop to regulations and vaccines! Bird flu is far left radical fake news. We’re gonna put tariffs on the farmers, and force white women to marry incels and have babies in response. This will surely fix things.

Waiting for the next pandemic to really turn this year into a real shit fiesta.

Silver lining though is more work from home for most people!

Cute that you think corporate Amerika will let people work from home again. If there is a pandemic you will never know about it because that will make red line go down.

There will be no lockdown, there will be no mandate, there will only be you continuing to go to work at usual with no protection or workers rights. Your only defense will be your immune system. If you get sick then it's Gods will it for you to die since you were "too weak to survive." An AZ senator put up a bill already to disband OSHA.

Remember, a smaller population is easier to control

Why the fuck do you think he pulled the US out of WHO and has practically dismantled and muzzled the CDC?

Is it too early to start boarding bleach? I ran out last time. Couldn't keep up with my daily injections.

Another pandemic is pretty much inevitable.

With this administration? Very unlikely.
