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.

Nothing to worry about here, folks!

I'm sure donvict has things well in hand with the likes of Brainworms running things. And I'm sure whoever Kamala would have put in would have been just as bad, because I keep hearing they are the same.

Never been happier to be a vegetarian incapable of processing milk.

Edit: to be clear, I’m poking fun at your upcoming bankruptcy over a simple dinner of milk steak and jellybeans.

Pasteurization is done for a reason.

[–] ParetoOptimalDev@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago (3 children)

There is a paper out about reactivation after pasteurization sadly.

That won't make it any cheaper when it follows the price of eggs

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Being able to eat meat doesn't mean you have to. Something that (perhaps slightly irrationally) annoys me about some people. They act as if a meal requires meat and then complain at how expensive food is to buy. Laughs in omnivore £15/week each diet. But by not being actually vegetarian I can still have things like Worcestershire sauce too.

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 4 points 1 day ago (47 children)

Yeah and its annoying the vegans that are so militant they discourage meat reduction in diets. Beef is so much worse (both health and environment) than most other meats that getting a large amount of folks to give up or massively reduce beef consumption is way better than a much smaller number becoming vegan.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Just look at /r/vegan, even if you don't eat/use animal products you are still not a vegan unless its for their specific reasons. If you do it for environmental reasons they decide you don't count as a vegan.

It's also on reddit, what do you expect?

Depression diet is coming and meat won't be on the menu.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

It's tragic that people have already killed their cats with raw milk (and some cat food), apparently. I'm sure Brainworms will be looking out for everyone's pets, too....

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I have to have whole milk and other dairy as part of my nutritional regimen as worked out by a professional dietician, so I'm glad I'm not in America right now.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Shame that's not how this virus works with it's concern of jumping from avians and mammals, including humans.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That is one concern, if it's also resulting in a lot of livestock being killed off that will now impact food prices of more than just eggs.

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yup. Its to late now but for a week or few chicken meat prices were down and given the timing im almost sure if was from flocks being culled.

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Umm ... when chickens are killed because of an outbreak the carcasses are buried. It is illegal to butcher or sell any type of meat that's part of a disease outbreak, whether it's BSE in cattle or bird flu in poultry.

what happens is farms inside a certain area area that exactly is what happens but farms just outside the area that don't have to kill their flocks realize that area may increase. Basically that they are in a danger zone. So you can slaughter and get the meat price right away or just thin your heard to reduce the chance of spreadage. Im not really sure the details but this is generally what I have been lead to believe happens and the chicken prices we saw for a week or few (can't remember how long but it was at least two weeks) was 99 cent a pound breast which we have not seen for years around here. An interesting thing about it to is that it was not fraken chicken which also made me suspect its from egg layers. I know we had farms get nuked in the area.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I would absolutely make use of that with my freezer. And complain to my partner that we don't have a chest freezer in the place one should obviously go.

we have two so that we can clean and thaw one once a year and of course also to store more.

It's ok. I still got my emergency rum ham.

Good thing beef was already so cheap

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

We need to figure out a way to turn beef into eggs so all the culled cows can make egg prices lower... 🤔
