Was it one of the idiots intentionally drinking raw unprocessed milk to make a point?
- All the US cases and most cases worldwide are linked to people working closely with infected animals according to the article—no mention of raw milk.
- It's like they're trying to start another pandemic just out of spite. All because someone told them not to...
  
  They have to start a pandemic now so they can blame Biden for it and credit Trump for ending it.
  
  It can only be a pandemic if there is a human to human transfer. Virologists say it isn't likely to mutate enough to do that. Still, if you can get it from a cow, will your pet dog be next?

Does anyone have an opinion as to how likely this is to eventually turn into a pandemic?
- As likely as any other flu, which is basically guaranteed. I doubt it will become a 2020-style shutdown though, purely because that would be unpopular
  
  Isn't it way more deadly than covid? Maybe that'll be reason enough to scare idiots into compliance?
And the government is now working with Pfizer and Moderna on an Avian flu vaccine.
- Do you have a source for that?

Around here when swine flu went through the country we basically lost the whole pork industry because the first priority was to eliminate the disease. Does the US want a pandemic to be named after them? Because it seems to head in that direction. I think Freedom Flu is a pretty catchy name personally.
Are the CCP and PLA up to more shit?
- Do all the birds come from China?
- Don't you mean the WHO? How else are they going to get their next $50 billion?
