I thought Trump had an executive order to stop reporting on outbreaks
Yeah… If it does a full on human to human mutation, it’s going to take Trump and a lot of his acolytes out.
Legit, if this shit takes off and maintains a 50% fatality rate, no shot they maintain power, or the US exists within a month of it popping off.
The pause on communications has carve outs for things deemed “critical for public health.” Seems to be on a case by case basis, you need to have it approved by a hhs executive (or someone like that). The Morbitity and Mortality Weekly Report didn’t come out for the first time in 60 years, but the cdc has been able to update their bird flu tracker.
I saw a woman on XHS saying there was a big outbreak in Atlanta that hasn’t been getting any coverage. Apparently a lot of large poultry farms in that area
Quoting my post from another thread for no particular reason:
Cant wait to learn about the next pandemic (on top of the current ongoing one) through healthcare workers anecdotally reporting a huge uptick in respiratory cases, and everyone else noticing a “really bad flu going around.”
Do you have any info on this? There’s been a big outbreak in Elbert County, a portion of which is under quarantine, and they’ve upped biosecurity measures across the state. Maybe that’s what they meant? Idk of any big outbreak near Atlanta.
I’ve also seen attempts to blame supposed gain of function testing in Athens GA for the current outbreak. I haven’t looked into that at all but my first thought is it’s bullshit since it’s Peter McCullough and I’m pretty sure the timelines don’t line up. I think we’re probably just gonna be having the same arguments we had during Covid.

Here’s the video, it seems like she just said “in Atlanta” but is mentioning cases all around the area and not exclusively in Atlanta proper.
Oh yeah she’s talking about Elbert county. It seems there are other flocks that were hit but Elbert County was the big one. I didn’t realize how close it was to Atlanta.
The disease seems to be spreading pretty heavily in the Atlantic and Mississippi flyways rn. Flocks are getting hit hard up the east coast and in the Midwest, esp Indiana and Ohio.
So it’s definitely happening this year, right? Like, probably spring?
It’s not particularly likely on any given month. It’s just a risk our society keeps taking over and over again. If you keep rolling the dice eventually you’ll get snake eyes, but it’s probably not any particular roll.
Very likely within the next few years, probably not within the next few months, and this will remain true until there’s a bird flu pandemic or we reform or stop animal agriculture.
Seems likely, definitely in the next few years. All the cope I’ve seen so far has been rhetoric better suited to years ago. Still waiting on a large scale pig farm to put the nail in the coffin, but there was a kid infected showing a potential mutation for lung-based human to human recently. So it’s looking to happen one way or another.
yeah… on the last death panel ep about it they said last year there was around 60+ cases in the US, where 0 or 1 cases is the normal level and that it might already be going human to human but very slowly right now (but media is reporting that it’s not at all), that there’s some unexplained case in San Francisco, and that if it kicks off it will most likely kick off in the US
Michael Osterholm says it possible clouds of dust are getting kicked up that have bird feces in them, and it’s possible it’s spreading that way. I sort of don’t think there’s human transmission yet. Maybe a very low level but from what I’ve seen key mutations generally considered necessary for human transmission haven’t been found in any strains yet (although I did see a journal article today saying they found slight binding to human receptors so…). In any case only 3 cases have been unknown exposure so far.
I forget where I heard it but the running joke is that whenever theres a mass-killing of pigs, from a chemical spill is what I heard, theres a massive discount sale of or introduction of new pork products across america.
anyways, take that but make it chicken I guess
There has been BOGO pork tenderloins at my grocery store (Publix) almost constantly for at least the last year. I don’t know if that’s normal or not, but it feels like a red flag.
Isn’t there a similar thing with the McRib? Like they “bring it back” when pork prices are hella low?
Do you have info on that kid with the potential h2h transmission mutation?
Idk, but I’m suddenly having the same gut feeling I had in February 2020. I bought a bunch of non-perishable foods at that time, thinking that if it turned out to be a nothing-burger I would just not have to shop for several of my pantry items for a few months. Of course, March hit, and I was very thankful I didn’t need to visit the grocery store for pretty much the entire lockdown, and even when I did it was only because I was getting sick of eating the same things for a month straight.
Anyways, looks like I’ve got some extra grocery shopping to do this week
BTW, masks are really cheap in bulk on Aliexpress right now, and bird flu or not, we can be sure that Covid will surge again come spring/summer.
Ah fuck, this is gonna kill some endangered local birds as well, isn’t it.
Sorry to sound misanthropic. Kinda used to humans spreading both novel and retro things at this point.
