According to the CDC, bird flu isn't transmissible between humans (yet). Cases in humans were always related to exposure to infected poultry.
No, it's transmitted between birds. Human to human transmission has not been reported yet
yet
knowing these fucks, it's only a matter of time.
That the thing...yet... And no one is going to stop Captain Ficktard from making us drink bleach and shove horse dewurmer up or ass the next time.
Well, always wondered what those boxed egg whites tasted like.
Now that the federal health regulators are neutered, how long do you think it's gonna be before these corpos start selling the infect hens rather than killing them?
Chicken prices are gonna start dropping fast! /s
Most chickens that get H5N1 die within 24-48 hours if what I've read is correct. They also don't show many if any signs of infection until they just drop dead. Once you start seeing some of them die, there's a good chance that most of your flock is already infected - hence the cullings. You want to stop it from spreading as quickly as possible and not give it a chance to further reproduce.
So they will just sell us the meat from these birds? Not like RKJ will care, probably think good won't let the meat go to waste.
Fuck better stock up on eggs and chicken while we can.
