Bird flu virus from Texas human case kills 100% of ferrets in CDC study
Another 36 house mice in New Mexico have tested positive for H5N1 bird flu, taking the total to 47, according to USDA.
Only few details have been released. The infected mice were found at a poultry farm in Roosevelt County.
H5N1 bird flu found at 3 more dairy farms in Idaho, taking the state's total to 22
Former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Robert Redfield said he predicts a bird flu pandemic will happen, it’s just a matter of when that will be.
Redfield joined NewsNation Friday to discuss the growing concern for bird flu, as the virus has been detected in dozens of cattle across the country and the World Health Organization identified the first human death in Mexico.
“I really do think it’s very likely that we will, at some time, it’s not a question of if, it’s more of a question of when we will have a bird flu pandemic,” Redfield said.
He also noted that bird flu has a “significant mortality” when it enters humans compared to COVID-19. Redfield predicts the mortality is “probably somewhere between 25 and 50 percent mortality.” NewsNation noted that the death rate for COVID was 0.6 percent.
At the end of May, the CDC identified the third human case of someone diagnosed with the virus since March. None of the three cases among farmworkers were associated with one another. Symptoms have included a cough without fever and pink eye.
There is no evidence yet that the virus is spreading between humans. Redfield said he knows exactly what has to happen for the virus to get to that point because he’s done lab research on it.
Scientists have found that five amino acids must change in the key receptor in order for bird flu to gain a propensity to bind to a human receptor “and then be able to go human to human” like COVID-19 did, Redfield said.
“Once the virus gains the ability to attach to the human receptor and then go human to human, that’s when you’re going to have the pandemic,” he said. “And as I said, I think it’s just a matter of time.”
Redfield noted that he doesn’t know how long it will take for the five amino acids to change, but since it is being detected in cattle herds across the country, he is a bit concerned.
More than 40 cattle herds nationwide have confirmed cases of the virus. The CDC is tracking wastewater treatment sites to pinpoint where the virus is but the agency said the general public’s current risk of contracting the virus is low.
Since cattle live close to pigs and the virus is able to evolve from pigs to humans, there is cause for concern. Still, he argued, there is greater risk for the disease to be lab-grown.
“I know exactly what amino acids I have to change because in 2012, against my recommendation, the scientists that did these experiments actually published them,” he said. “So, the recipe for how to make bird flu highly infection for humans is already out there.”

im sure RFK will get this sorted in a jiff.
"So he ordered a pizza, and when the pizza came, there was four or five guys outside the door. Five guys delivering one pizza. You know, it's very rare that you get five delivery guys from the pizza place to bring you your pizza.
And they're all trying to look in, and everybody knew it's Mike. So I take the pizza, I pay them, and I put this pizza down, and I said, "I got a bad feeling about this." I ate the pizza. All by myself.
Nobody else ate the pizza."
big misunderstanding?

French scientists studying H5N1 bird flu prevalence in cats found 13 out of 578 blood samples positive.
"Potentially, it amounts to thousands or tens of thousands of cats that could have been infected in France."
How many amino acids need to flip before it can move from chinks to humans?

Why are they even testing for this?
If they don't test, there are no positive cases.
And no bird flu. Problem solved.
Am against killing entire lot of chickens when bird flu found, survival of the fittest for best immunity.
Birds in wild are naturally doing this and so should those in captivity.
Bird flu is what's caused egg prices to skyrocket. It's killed a lot of layer hens.
A note on the word "chink."
Over 40 years ago I went to work at a fish processing plant in Bellingham, Washington during the salmon run. One part of the job was lining up fish on the conveyor belt and running them through the "Chink" or "chinker" The Chink cut off the fish heads. Everyone in the plant used the term chink when talking about that machine. I had no clue where the name came from.
Later I found out where the name for the machine came from. Before modern machinery the fish heads were cut off manually by the hired help which were all chinese in those days. Of course, the white boys called them "chinks."
So when the machine that automatically cuts off fish heads was invented they called it the "Iron Chink." It later got shortened up to just "chink" or "chinker."
We had a Chink’s Steaks in Philly until the woke mob got ahold of them about a decade ago.
https://www.phillymag.com/news/2013/...-name-because/
“ Chink’s Steaks, which opened in 1949, was so named because its first owner Samuel Sherman had “almond-shaped” eyes. Now, with the help of a branding specialist (you really didn’t need a branding specialist to figure this one out), current owner Joe Groh has seen the light, and will change the name to “Joe’s Steaks and Soda Shop.”
“ Some of the restaurant's customers from the neighborhood opposed the name change, and some badgered Joe about the matter. Some people also left negative comments about the name change on various social media websites and on online restaurant review sites.The restaurant suffered a loss of profit after some customers boycotted it due to the name change”
Second bird flu strain found in US dairy cattle
I'm sure the current administration brushing this under the rug will go well
The tinfoil hat question that doesn't get asked enough: why does this wipe out 90%, and among some breeds 99%, of all chickens allegedly and nearly equally decimate domestic turkeys but nearly not at all affect other birds?
and why only here in USA?? i don't here problems about Russian chickens, Japanese... Austrailia..?? whoever is making these decisions about exterminating our food supply is getting their jollies off watching the food prices rise... it's probably unnecessary and they are a domestic terrorist who hates Trump and America...
