Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

when the comm isn't fakenews
Wait isn’t this news like 2-3 days old? I was really scared for a second, I thought it had gone from human to human. It’s the same guy who caught it from a cow I had already seen.
Still super scary, just not as scary as breaking news about human to human infection.
The CDC announcement came out April 5th, but I think other news stations might have picked up earlier.
I'm also pretty sure this is the first hexbear post about it.
Thought I saw a few posts in the news megathreads a few days ago.
Yeah it was
This is the CDC doing a Friday news dump with the official press release.
H5N1 has an absolutely insane mortality rate. Like if human to human spread ever becomes a thing, that is a true pack what you can and get the fuck out moment. Every time we have animal to human spread it’s just rolling the dice for if a mutation will occur to propel human to human spread. This awful constant gamble that’s genuinely terrifying
Where would even be safe to go at that point
What's the big deal it's not like the general population is potentially immunocompromised or anything.
woah what is this from?
This aged well
headlines you write when when you definitely studied the history of urban pathology
boy if i weren't disassociating 24/7 I would probably be pretty worried rn
A farm worker on a commercial dairy farm in Texas
Mammal to human
Chuds are already frothing in the replies, an endless supply of bluecheck manchildren shitting their pants whining
let's light this candle i guess. surely amerikkka will do better on a second round.
Why this always seem to happen in USA?
Large scale factory farming with little regulatory oversight and wretched conditions for both animal and human alike.
?? there have been plenty of h5n1 infections elsewhere
The HAN is Chinese propaganda
Idea for a bit: accusing people who don't want to contract bird flu of being HAN supremacists.
Checks out. Han sounds like a vaguely East Asian name.
Either that, or it's an elaborite advertisement for Star Wars.
i bought a couple cases of vegan MREs (they were very affordable) for camping and for my partner to take as backup food when their on the road for months and now i feel like maybe i got the jump on this
It was only a matter of time before a yankee would fuck the wrong chicken.
Or cow, lots of abuse on those factory farms
