just because contact can’t be confirmed since he’s not a farmworker or anything. But if he’s living around farmland there can of course still be contact
can’t you get exposed just from bird shit? i doubt contact with strictly ‘agricultural’ animals is necessary. the super bewildering portion of the story is the patient was on bed-rest for 3 weeks. that strongly implies they weren’t exposed to normal environmental vectors, but i don’t know how confidently they could rule out the patient having gotten it before being bedridden.
Looking forward to the breathless Westoid articles about the Chinese pigeons conscripted to shit in people’s mouths all over the world to spread their sinister bioweapon.
yeah I remember reading it can be spread just through bird shit, which is honestly horrifying. I have bird shit on my car right now and I’m scared to touch it. But yeah I think you’re right, contact with birds is enough to spread it.
