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.
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.
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.
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.
