Bread for the discission of the bord flu and a doomposter containment thread.
In the past few days it jumped to goats, then to cows and now to a human from a cow, this is the second case in the US, the situation may be worse in the global south.
This is a skeleton thread and i hope a good baker bakes good bread when it collapses

100 Times Worse Than Covid': Experts Raise Alarm Over Potential Bird Flu Pandemic
The latest development comes after a poultry facility in Michigan and an egg producer in Texas in the US reported outbreaks of avian flu this week
Experts have raised alarm over the potential threat of a bird flu pandemic, warning that it could be ‘100 times worse than Covid’ and potentially lead to fatalities in up to half of those infected.
The concerns were raised during a recent briefing where researchers discussed on the H5N1 strain of bird flu. They expressed apprehension that the virus may be approaching a critical threshold that could spark a global pandemic, according to a report by UK-based tabloid Daily Mail.
During the briefing, Dr. Suresh Kuchipudi, a prominent bird flu researcher in Pittsburgh, warned that H5N1 has the potential to cause a pandemic, given its ability to infect a range of mammalian hosts, including humans, stating, “we are getting dangerously close to this virus potentially causing a pandemic."

It's only a matter of time until another big pandemic hits, especially with covid running rampant and damaging immune systems in the mean time.

>>1811945Its true that high mortality is one factor in spread being weakened, for the obvious reasoning that killing the host means the virus spread is restricted, basic selective pressure. However thats only one of many factors, and incubation time/time between being contagious and dying are positively correlated with high spread. The most dangerous viruses are those with a long incubation time (harder to track/contain) and a long period of contagious sickness (more time for an infected person to spread it) and high mortality.

<Has the virus from the Texas individual been studied?
> Yes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a lengthy analysis of the genome of the virus from the infected person. The CDC’s conclusion: The small changes seen in the virus are similar to those seen in other instances where this H5N1 has infected people. Viruses with those changes haven’t been seen to trigger ongoing person-to-person spread.
>“Overall, the genomic analysis of the virus from this human case does not change CDC’s risk assessment,” the agency said. “The overall risk to human health associated with the ongoing HPAI A(H5) outbreaks in poultry and detections in wild birds and cattle remains low.”
<Is there a risk to people from milk produced by infected cows?Yes, in theory. In practice, though, it shouldn’t be an issue.
>Infected cows shed virus in their milk. Farms that have detected H5N1 in their cows are supposed to destroy the milk produced by infected cows, so it should not make its way into the food chain. Even if some did, inadvertently, pasteurization would kill the viruses, the USDA says.
>Unpasteurized milk from affected cows would pose a risk to people. But unpasteurized milk poses multiple risks to people and public health authorities recommend against its consumption.Cool I can't wait for unpasteurized milk enthusiasts to get us killed because they don't like big gubberman making sure their food isn't fucked.

Get past the American politics links and there is news about h5n1. Apparently pasteurization isn't enough to sterilize all viruses in cow milk.
