Bird Flu in Cows

Bird flu is sweeping through dairy herds in eight US States.

The flu is jumping from species to species. The UK government is not acknowledging the risk properly. What's going on here guys? It's all over the news.

Wake up peoples

It's a definite reason that we should be concerned, due to the much increased risk that other mammals, including people, could be affected. Flu has been identified as the likely cause of our next pandemic. And I'm not particularly comforted that we learned that much and are much prepared, after the last one, despite it having been so recent.

It's very concerning.

.

150 commercial milk products were tested around the Midwest US, representing dairy processing plants in 10 different states, including some where herds have tested positive for H5N1. Genetic testing found viral RNA in 58 samples.

.

Researchers expect additional lab studies currently underway to show that those samples don’t contain live virus with the capability to cause human infections, meaning that the risk of pasteurized milk to consumer health is still very low. But the prevalence of viral genetic material in the products they sampled suggest that the H5N1 outbreak is likely far more widespread in dairy cows than official counts indicate. So far, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has reported 33 herds in eight states have tested positive for H5N1.

.

“The fact that you can go into a supermarket and 30% to 40% of those samples test positive, that suggests there’s more of the virus around than is currently being recognized,” said Richard Webby, an influenza virologist who has been analyzing the samples at St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., where he heads the WHO Collaborating Center for Studies on the Ecology of Influenza in Animals.

.

I'd say that was quite alarming, as it indicate high adoption and mutation of H5N1 outside it's normal species vector.

This virus ought to concern us, based on the prevalence that you highlight.That it's spreading so widely reminds us that it's a virus that's several hundred times more infectious than Covid is.
