Bird Flu Found in Beef Tissue; Officials Say It Did Not Enter Food Supply

LOL

What a bunch of idiots,

One of Australia’s leading epidemiologists, Professor Raina MacIntyre, noted the almost three-month delay in reporting the case was “not ideal”. Professor Kelley Lee has been studying the governance of global pandemics for years, and most recently her work with the Pandemics & Borders international research group has been reflecting on the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and strengthen strategies for future outbreaks. Broadly, her work aims to answer the question: is the world prepared for another pandemic? “I would say the short answer is no, we’re not anywhere near prepared. And indeed, in some ways, I think we’re worse prepared than we were prior to COVID-19,” she said.

of course we’re prepared, we’re prepared to deny and conceal and hide and pretend and go back to urgent normal and spread rich hybrid flock immunity and

wait avian influenza means it reks birds right

Bird flu has been detected at a third property in central Victoria.
In short: The viral strain detected at a Lethbridge aviary is the same strain found at an egg farm in Meredith 10 days ago.
The farms are about 10 minutes apart by road in central Victoria.

LOL

Although dairy operators had been told to expect a mortality rate of less than 2%, preliminary reports suggest that between 10% and 15% of infected cattle are dying, according to veterinarians and dairy farmers. “The animals really don’t do well,” Beal told The Times. He said the infected cows he has seen are not dissimilar to people who are suffering from a typical flu: “They don’t look so hot.” “Heat stress is always a problem in dairy cattle here in California,” he said. “So you take that, you add in this virus, which does have some affinity for the respiratory tract … we always see a little bit of snotty noses and heavy breathing in animals that are affected … and for some of them, just the stress takes them.” Indeed, most of the deaths are not directly the result of the virus, he said, but are “virus adjacent.” For instance, he has seen a lot of bacterial pneumonia, which is likely the result of the cow’s depressed immune system, as well as bloat.

While early reports had suggested the virus seemed mild and lasted only about a week or two, others are seeing it last several weeks. According to the industry newsletter, at one dairy, cows were shedding virus 14 days before they showed clinical signs of illness. It then took another three weeks for the cows to get rid of the virus. They’re also noticing the virus is affecting larger percentages of herds — in some cases 50%-60% of the animals. This is much more than the 10% that had been previously reported. Some say the actual rate may be even higher.

Cows are also not returning to 100% production after they’ve cleared the virus, said Beal. Instead, he and others say it’s closer to 60%-70%.

“As I’ve said since we first learned of the outbreak in dairy cows, nothing we’ve learned about this virus is new or unexpected,” said Rick Bright, a virologist and former head of the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. “It’s behaving exactly as we’ve come to know of this virus over the past 25 years. It’s spreading very efficiently now among mammals, and it’s mutating and adapting to mammals as it does.” “This virus is out of control. It is time for urgent and serious leadership and action to halt further transmission and mutation,” Bright said. “The concept of letting it burn out through food animals, with unmonitored voluntary testing, has failed. There are pandemic playbooks that we need to dust off and begin to implement.”

In the meantime, officials continue to reassure the public…

of course

Beal noted one of the sentinel signs that a farm has been infected is dead barn cats that have drunk the infected, raw milk. “It’s weird, actually, how consistently that seems to be happening everywhere,” he said. “It’s pretty sad and shocking. But that’s one of the first things that people see sometimes.”

I recorded this today outside of Mendonsa Dairy in Tulare County California. These cows were just on the side of the road. I drove back a few hours later and they were still there. Not very biosecure. I called the CDFA to express my concerns.

Health officials in California have discovered bird flu virus in raw milk for sale in a store in the state, a development scientists following the ongoing outbreak of bird flu in dairy cows have been anticipating and worrying about for some time.

While the human health implications of drinking H5N1-laced milk are unknown, scientists who study the virus have been fearful of what consuming milk containing the virus could do. Milk that comes directly from infected cows contains extremely high levels of virus. In laboratory studies, raw milk consumption triggers severe disease in some animal models. And there have been multiple reports of dead cats on farms with H5N1-infected cows.

In a statement released Sunday, the California Department of Public Health announced that Raw Milk LLC, a producer from Fresno County, had voluntarily recalled a batch of a product called cream top whole raw milk, at the state’s request. The lot, labeled with the code 20241109, had a “best by” date of Nov. 27.

The product containing the virus was purchased by the County of Santa Clara’s Public Health Department, which has been testing commercial raw milk for the virus, on Nov. 21. The county said the milk contained H5 virus, suggesting its laboratory had not yet completed testing to indicate the N number of the virus. Given how prevalent H5N1 virus is in California, however, it is highly likely that is what the lab detected.
