Experts say current US outbreak is unlikely to end without intervention with further mutation of virus likely

Summary

A new H5N1 bird flu variant has become “endemic in cows,” with cases detected in Nevada and Arizona, raising concerns about human transmission.

Experts warn that without intervention, the outbreak will continue, but Trump has cut CDC staff and halted flu vaccination campaigns.

The virus’s spread coincides with a severe flu season, increasing the risk of mutation.

The administration has also stopped sharing flu data with the WHO and shifted its containment strategy away from culling infected poultry, raising fears of inadequate response.

      Yep! But I add ghee to the fish because it’s too lean.

      My complaint is mostly due to the threat of dwindling variety. And beef is my favorite.

        Ah, find a local farmer, buy a full cows cut asap before the price spikes, toss the 500lbs of beef in a deep freezer. Bam profit?
