NEW YORK — A highly pathogenic avian influenza has been detected in a non-commercial backyard flock of birds on Long Island in New York, federal authorities confirmed Saturday.
Samples from the flock were tested at the Cornell University Animal Health Diagnostic Center and confirmed at the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service laboratories in Ames, Iowa. New York state officials have quarantined the site in Suffolk County and birds on the affected properties “will be depopulated to prevent the spread of disease,” said the USDA in aThe virus has been detected at commercial turkey farms in southern Indiana, a flock of commercial broiler chickens in Kentucky and a backyard flock of mixed species birds in northern Virginia.the virus has been detected in a fourth commercial poultry flock in that state.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control says the recent detections of the bird flu do not present an immediate public health concern. No human cases of these viruses have been detected in the U.S., according to the USDA.
I can see that Chicken and Turkey are about to become VERY expensive.
More BS fear
Going out on a limb here but I'm guessing this flock of NY birds were not double-vaxxed or masked?
😣😣😣
Great
I honestly don't think anyone gives a fuck at this point....
Fear.
Now we know it is WWIII OR WWZ But it is a stupid idea to use the same technique that has failed before: flue, covid, AIDS giant cancer... switch mf,
Eggs and chicken cutlets and turkey burgers. Oh, my!
CCP Chinese communist party spy agents released spreading just like Wuhan viruses released by CCP
Not now highly pathogenic avian influenza
coincidence
Oh goody more fear porn
nice try
“Photogenic”?
Whatever, RWNJs don't care about public health. They're probably gonna go start licking every bird they can find, just to 'own the libs'. 🤣
It’s still February, and we have new variants of COVID, Europe on the brink of sparking WW3, and now another bird flu! 2022, babyyyyy! Yeah! Woo!
Detected in four states? Great. All it's gonna take is a re-enactment of the end of Contagion. Could be the same kill rate, too. Fun.
It would be nice to know what strain of avian flu was involved. H5N1 is highly pathogenic to both birds and humans.
Round 2?
kdbk42 Well, at least we can give Ivermectin a second chance.
