Members DramatistDreamer Posted June 26, 2024 Members Share Posted June 26, 2024 Hopefully it won’t ever come to this, but there may come a time when a Bird flu thread may have to be created as there have been cases (one fatal) of transmission to humans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted June 26, 2024 Members Share Posted June 26, 2024 I would not be surprised if a new pandemic will appear in the near future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted June 26, 2024 Members Share Posted June 26, 2024 From what I read the transmission is not by air droplets. When I read your message I got worried, my heart fluttered and I had to check once again if there was no human-to-human-transmission on the news. I still have trauma from COVID19. The one fatal case was a person who had many other health issues. The other cases so far are very mild. And again - it's transmission hasn't been by air. The moment it gets passed on from person to person by air droplets, that's when we should worry. There are no indications of that from what I gather in multiple sources. The current measures are to vaccinate the people who work very close with animals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted June 26, 2024 Members Share Posted June 26, 2024 It is true that the virus is not of the SARS/MERS type and transmission is not facilitated as easily as those. Besides my concern for those who work at the poultry farms, many of whom are undocumented and there being little to no effort to vaccinate them, it is also the shoddy practices of factory farms and the fact that the virus from the waste of chickens can live in fresh water. It was never my intention to cause panic. I do think this should be on the radar. Thankfully people who believe in science are in the executive branch and will likely keep a look out for any developments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 26, 2024 Members Share Posted June 26, 2024 And the government is handcuffed or enables the worst - the Texas government is doing their best to stifle any slowing of this, and if Trump gets back in he'll do the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFG set the U.S. and the surrounding region on a path of contagion, disease and death. He was the worst possible person to be in charge when there is any crisis. And with mainly undocumented people being the ones who are most affected, he would be the one to allow it to cut a swath through that population, if he could. Hopefully neither of these ever happens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Maxim Posted August 21, 2024 Members Share Posted August 21, 2024 Why is my laptop giving me news and alerts about mpox and WHO and things like that. I don't want to get worried. So far I read it's not airborne which calms me down. I truly hope to God this doesn't turn into a nightmare AGAIN. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
