"Bird flu pandemic risk high as cow cases appear and officials warn of humans’ role"

<💬>
Poultry operations have reported cases likely linked to dairy farms, indicating the virus may be spilling back from cows into birds.

The meat industry is a carnival of death.

<💬>
Although officials believe this outbreak was originally sparked by a single introduction from migratory birds into cows – for instance, via feed contaminated by bird feces – late last year, genomic analyses now suggest it is being spread between animals and farms by human activity

Taking turns being vectors.

<💬>
Among employees at dairies with outbreaks, one in five employees work at other dairies and 7% work on poultry operations as well. That’s in addition to the veterinarians, nutritionists and haulers who regularly visit multiple farms. Three in five Michigan dairies with outbreaks use shared vehicles to transport cows, but only 12% clean the vehicles first. All but one of the affected dairies belong to the same milk co-ops.

Remember how we had "security theater" or "hygiene theater" in the first years of COVID-19? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygiene_theater

Well, professional clowns have been doing biosecurity theater for a long time. That's why the "One Health" initiative make me laugh. The lax biosecurity is a key part of the business, one more free externaltiy in service of The Economy and delusions of being a magical non-animal beings.

Everyone who ignores this threat (by not calling for the immediate end of animal farming, hunting, and pet ownership) is at the level of the Herman Cain Award winners who die in an ICU while screaming that the virus isn't real.

The role these "the economy / jobs tho" people are playing is the same one so plain portrayed in Don't Look Up!
