I really hate that Americans are such sick freaks that this thing is just gonna become a culture war issue immediately like COVID. Chuds are gonna say that it’s a conspiracy by PETA and Big Soy to get people to stop eating chicken. Libs are gonna pretend to care about masking up again for exactly as long as the DNC finds it tenable. Then in less than a year everyone goes back to plague rat behavior. Nobody has anything to live for so risking a 10% chance of permanently disabling yourself, killing your older and immunocompromised loved ones, etc just doesn’t matter. Gotta get your snout in the slop trough.
Lol, libs think masks don’t work now.
laughs in never had COVID
At least they can’t try to blame it on China this time, right?
They’ll blame it on Mexico this time around.

H5N1, which was detected in dairy cows in the U.S. in March, also belongs to this family. It is commonly associated with highly contagious strains of H5 viruses called the “Goose Guangdong lineage” that have caused numerous outbreaks in poultry over the last 20 years and sporadic infections in humans, said Sutton.
Granted, that’s H5N1 (old-school bird flu) and not H5N2 (the new hotness), but that won’t stop yellow peril CHUDs and libs alike from screaming about Da ChYnA vIrUs
From that same article:
The patient in Mexico had been bedridden for several weeks prior to developing symptoms.
According to WHO, on April 17, the man developed fever, nausea, diarrhea, shortness of breath and general malaise. A week later, on April 24, he was hospitalized and died that day.
Sutton said that it’s important to note that the man had multiple underlying medication conditions, which likely exacerbated his infection.
Remember when the CDC released statistics on COVID deaths and how a high percentage of patients had other underlying conditions, and how the “other conditions” included things like autism, ADHD, and being below average height?
autism, ADHD, and being below average height
Hey look, it me
The patient in Mexico had been bedridden for several weeks prior to developing symptoms.
Excuse me, what? How are you bedridden for several weeks without symptoms? That seems like a contradiction.
Is it named that because Chinese researchers identified it?
Edit: Yep it appears that it was first identified in China.
The first H5N1 outbreak in poultry occurred in China in 1996 but the first human case was detected in Hong Kong in 1997
And before people wanna say we just blame China for everything because they’re our only real contender for superpower status, this is back when a lot of people were still optimistic of China joining the west.
Yep:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goose_Guangdong_virus
The Goose Guangdong virus refers to the strain A/Goose/Guangdong/1/96 (Gs/Gd)-like H5N1 HPAI viruses. It is a strain of the Influenzavirus A subtype H5N1 virus that was first detected in a goose in Guangdong in 1996.
called the “Goose Guangdong lineage”
who would win
cracker racism
or
cracker inability to name anything outside of europe
It suits the long-agenda of the national security state to attribute all policy failures to China, or whatever near parity power they next decide as a threat.
Maybe the CDC will monitor wastewater nationwide for bird flu - after the elections.
me and the black vulture who’s been flightless for like four months and hopping around my area are now on a break, I will not be french kissing him any more
So he’s single or too soon?
he’s like the spice girls, if you wanna get with him you gotta get with his wake first and they’re real dickheads
you gotta get with his wake first
you went woke for a vulture?
oh this wake is not woke they are very rude
I’m not going to sit here and let you try to tell me a group of vultures is called a wake. It’s not happening.
You’re in for rude aw—
This is unrelated to this post but what is the practical reason different types of animal groups have different names anyway? If it’s just for fun I understand, that’s fine. But a buncha birds are a flock, buncha cows are a herd, groups of predators are a pack, etc. That’s the English I use.
I think it is just fun. Vultures being scavengers, having a feast at a wake for the recently deceased.
I got curious about this so I looked it up on the ol’ Ngram Viewer. Went through a “list of unusual animal group names”. In some cases the unusual name was literally never used, in some cases it had once been used but is falling out of favor, in some cases there was maybe one person who used it in writing a century ago and then more recently people dug it up and brought it back, and in some cases it’s a complete neologism, never having been used before the late 20th century.
I attribute some of these trends, especially the spike in the more exotic names since the early 2000s, to the ability to check online for something. In regular speech I think people revert to the simpler categories of pack, herd, flock, school, swarm, cluster.
english do be ridiculous sometimes
Psh! Chicken!
Bird flu pandemic announced October, crashing the economy and giving Trump super majorities in all levels of government.
Then he declares he has beaten the pandemic and no one talks about it ever again, while the bodies pile up.
We’re entering an era known to historians as the “cool zone” 😎
a second pandemic…
our new reality
Don’t forget our close friend
ohhh yep that’s definitely another ‘things are great, don’t worry be happy’ cool zone fellow, thanks

Seriously why was there no real challenger? No one thought they could win against the most unpopular president in history?
I imagine it’s political suicide to be the person who “rocked the boat” and ended up letting trump win (even though everyone knows Trump is more likely to win either way)
democrat filtering and party-discipline methods have been constantly refined since Obama’s nomination. any possible opposition are DOA or quivering at the prospect of the DNC coming down on them & taking their incumbency.
americans agreed that joe biden was simply the only qualified candidate
After dnc removed all but Bernie as an option 😂😭
Justinian proclamation
i don’t know what you mean by this. it’s been a minute since i read the histories but i don’t remember Justinian ever decreed the plague over or anything. just lots of gross anecdotes about corpse disposal
fed em the doodoo
yea ok, get back to work
Has Abbott called H5N1 woke yet? Maybe that will help.
Can’t even slurp up bird shit from the storm drains anymore because of woke
If it’s good enough for cows it’s good enough for the poor!
W-w-wasteeed
The country ruled by decaying geriatrics are acting in service of Papa Nurgle. It should’ve been obvious.
Let’s not promote the fascist tabletop game on this website please.
40k is just as “fascist” as Helldivers and the Starship Troopers movie. Its not our fault chuds do not understand satire.
I don’t know if it’s still around but the sigmarxism community was pretty cool

The real story here is that Texas is actually monitoring their wastewater for anything
They’re looking for enemy agents. knowing their own agents thrive in wastewater, it’s the obvious place to look.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s motivated by detecting illegal drugs, and informing allocation of police resources based on that, not any actual concern for people. I don’t know if they do that or if it’s feasible but that was my thought.
true but they still spent the extra $50 or whatever it costs to do the H5N1 test
As if, such minor thing as epidemic is unable to divert USA from war.

@[email protected] you’ve got some explaining to do.
