What’s going on here is that they’re not allowed to publish data about actual issues under the Trump/Musk coup rules, because that might benefit regular folks instead of billionaires.

    If you had read the article you would know that they are talking about two instances with house cats and their owners. House cats appear to be highly susceptible to this strain of H5N1 and it is highly lethal to them. If a new strain has appeared that can spread from people to cats and from cats to people, that is a very, very bad thing.

    People who let their cats go outside would be as serious risk because cats can easily catch it from wild birds and then infect their owners. And every single human who catches the virus is a billion rolls of the dice for the virus to further mutate to spread from human to human.

      Birds dying to HPAI are very easy to catch too, so even the Garfield’s out there can be exposed. I had a red tailed hawk crash out in my backyard and it was dead 24 hours later. I put it into a box (after it crashed and didn’t move for 20 mins) but no rehab would take it, because there is nothing that can be done to help them.
