US reports first severe case of bird flu in a person | DW News
Officials in California have declared an emergency over the rapid spread of bird flu in livestock. The first case of severe bird flu in a person has also been confirmed in Louisiana.
The H5N1 virus is widespread in wild birds and can easily spread to commercial poultry and cattle. It has been detected in hundreds of dairy cattle herds this year and dozens of people nationwide. Health officials say it’s generally only a concern for animals, and most infected people had mild cases.

Good thing that nobody in the incoming administration would be so dumb as to recommend drinking raw milk or so crazy as to try and abolish approval for the POLIO VACCINE.
In “totally unrelated news”, my family has stocked up on food, medicine, diesel and electronics, our reverse osmosis pump is in good shape, the cistern is full and we’ve all gotten fresh vaccines for everything that we could (Hep B shots won’t be for another 6 months).
Look up Crystal Heath a veternarian who tracks this and visits the factory farms, documenting all the death that they are not reporting
SHOCKING
GAIN OF FUNCTION RESEARCH ON BIRD FLU IN 2016. GATES AND FAUCI IS AT IT AGAIN
Another bioweapon pandemic?!!!! Good bless all the innocent animals!!! What an evil world!!!
And this is happening on Biden's watch. So stop complaining about the incoming administration. Biden and the man in the dress that heads the health department hasn't done anything to address this situation.
Yeah, this was interesting. It seems like it’s adapting to the human genome. However, I did some reading a a full blown pandemic wouldn’t be the apocalypse. Fatality rates are unknown because we just don’t know how many people actually got the virus and became really sick. For some people it would feel like a cold, and those people don’t go to the hospital asking for bird flu tests. We just don’t know yet. It would probably be another covid like situation, but probably not the plague-like scenario I scared people with before. We just don’t have ratios yet.
0:38 trump's doughter vs xi's dotter 😂
Can you imagine living in those cramped, unsanitary conditions? Reminds me of something from the past.
Completely loses credibility with the statement “Raw milk also has other bad pathogens!?”
At 4.35 she mentions that Bird Flu & Humanm Flus have perfect Coinfectivity., & could later produce a more deadly virulamt strain. Well so does Covid19.,Very early on they discovered Covid19, the fastest known mutaing bioweapon to man has Perfect Coinfectivity with most flus & colds. It has Perfect Coinfectivity with HK Influenza A & B. Peace in Biowarfare!
When the video and the npc comments are pure psyop.
Here we go with the pandemic again
Don't worry Trump has experience screwing up pandemic response.
RFK Jr. will save us by mandating we all drink raw milk and avoid getting vaccinated.
Not even sarcasm
IHME is predicting 50,00,000 Americans will die unless we obey Bill Gates.
He doesn't know that there is a mutation in the Louisiana case, as the full genotype has not been done yet.
So more vaccinations and shutdowns, got it.
Is it proper from humans (esp fully grown adults) to be consuming the milk of another species?
What about giving humans, human milk? Just ask you Mom for some.
Oh no 1 severe case in an older person with underlying conditions build your bunkers
I'm an American … so I stay protected from viruses by praying to Dr. Anthony Fauci
(also known as "the patron saint of Purell" 🙏)
Cause there is too many birds all pile up.
🤦🏻♂️
Lord i hope you don't test us again with another situation that endsin 'demic' with the cheeto in power😢
American flu?
I guess going vegan is the way to go
It seems like there's a lot more people getting bird flu. My mother, niece and niece's daughter had all the symptoms last week but weren't diagnosed with bird flu, but they weren't tested for it either. That was in NC. Apparently the symptoms include nasty eyes and lungs but not a severe sickness. They had all of them, starting with the eyes and later the lungs.
Oh no! I don't care.
Whenever Trump is president this happens. Stop voting for him 😂
HE WAS HELLA OLD…. NOT NECESSARILY A PANDEMIC. VITAMIN D, C, ZINC ❤❤❤❤
MAGA crowd: this is a conspiracy to stop us getting the health benefits of raw milk.
Don’t drink un pasteurized milk.
China has already had a few ppl die from it a while back. Still no human to human transmission though. This report is for manipulatingnthe population. Bet they a few new ideas for farmings
Has the connection between the living and working conditions of the workers and the animals involved and the ability of this disease to persevere been examined?
Great report!
One person with immune issues get sick and Gabby Nuisance declares a state of emergency! Anything to get the public to forget that he bankrupt the state with his monorail and homeless handouts. What a joke❤❤❤
