Bird flu detected in Houston-area wastewater
Officials have confirmed reports of bird flu (H5N1) being detected in wastewater in the Houston area.
Who's ready for Pandemic 2?
Turning Point USA announces; “Spread the word about the perks of Houston-area wastewater, like good-for-you bacteria and essential nutrients, that get lost in the Liberul treatment plant's processes!"
Funnily enough, raw milk sales have gone up since the CDC announced the avian flu outbreak among cows (www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/health/raw-milk-sales-spike-despite-cdcs-warnings-of-risk-associated-with-bird-flu).
I have no doubt in my mind that if this begins to really pop off it'll be turned into a culture war issue immediately.
I never envisioned that I would see Darwinism play out in front of my eyes. This honestly makes the Darwin awards defunct for sure, even more so than the Ivermectin/Bleach crowd did.
Who's ready for Pandemic 2?
“However, no human cases have been detected in Harris County, and the source of H5N1 in the wastewater is unknown. The most likely source is related to agriculture, and the public risk remains low,”
It could have come from a human, but they're guessing non-human source. That doesn't mean that it isn't a potential vector to humans, but I don't think that this in particular is much more alarming than knowing that it's present in some other county.
It is noteworthy that a patient in Mexico did pass away from H5N2 (https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/h5n2-bird-flu-know-first-human-case-rcna155821) , although I don't know if they've confirmed any human to human transmissions as of yet. Definitely something to take precautions against, either way. Hopefully it doesn't mutate into something that can go human to human easily, but it's never bad to be prepared just in case!
Good thing there's already at least two vaccines ready to go for H5N1
What could go wrong with people taking a vaccine to not spread a disease?
We don't talk about that
