US health officials have confirmed a human case of bird flu in a patient that had no immediately known animal exposure.
The patient, in the state of Missouri, was treated in hospital and has since recovered, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said.
It is the 14th human case of bird flu in the US in 2024 and the first without a known occupational exposure to infected animals, according to the CDC.
We’re approaching a new pandemic… Are we prepared?
Never have been, never will be.
Republicans said COVID was just a little flu, and nature said, hold my beer, I’ll remind you how bad a flu pandemic is.
As an example, COVID killed like .0875% of the global population. Spanish flu killed between 2.25 and 5.5% of the global population at the time, depending on which estimates are more correct.
I’d love to know what the death percentage needs to be for it to go from ‘fake news’ to actual problem.
I’d say there’s probably NO amount of deaths that could possibly cause that for those people.
It’s only a problem if a Democrat is in charge, as soon as a Republican takes over it’s a perfect world under their leader.
Remember when it covid became a “boomer remover” after that they cared…until a vaccine got created… So for this one 90 - 100%
It’s not so much the percentage, but which portion of the population dies. Don’t forget Fox started back tracking on their anti-vaccine and anti-mask stance once they realized that conservatives were dying at a much faster rate.
Hell yeah, let’s go! I personally had a good time last go. I know a lot not of people did not and I don’t want anyone hurt but I wouldn’t mind being forced home 24/7 again. Only way I’m getting a fucking break from my life at this point.
Nope. 1.5 million dead Americans including my dad, shutdown economy and blatant racism making a comeback? No thanks. Don’t want.
