Bird Flu

RT: I’m receiving alarming reports from New York. Hospitals are overwhelmed with Flu A patients on ventilators, and ICUs are overflowing, pushing patients into PCUs.
One insider says their hospital is now testing Flu A cases for bird flu (H5). If initial tests for H1N1 and H3 are negative, samples go straight to the state lab for H5 testing.
Why are they testing for bird flu? Why isn’t this being discussed?
Additionally, doctors in New York have been instructed to test all hospitalized patients for bird flu due to growing concerns over potential human-to-human transmission.
Live poultry markets in New York have also been shut down because of bird flu.
Something serious is happening, and it’s not being addressed publicly.
****************************************************
There's a lot of birds dying around the local lake where I live.

Over 10 states have schools closed because of flu outbreaks this past week. Not necessarily bird flu at this time.

NYC is closing bird markets because of birds being infected with bird flu.

There's an egg shortage driving the price of eggs towards $10/dozen soon if you can find them at all. Major retailers are starting to limit purchases while video shows shoppers hoarding eggs like it was the toilet paper rush of a few years ago. Some shoppers may find empty shelves.

Thieves are robbing large amounts of eggs for resale.

The CDC has been muzzled and can't tell us anything.

The sky is falling.
Really.
I'm not kidding
This time, it's for reals.

Can we have a monkeypox scare again? That was great. I'd sit down and the table would empty.

I just paid $7 for a dozen eggs at Walmart. This bird flu is getting serious.

I've been casually monitoring the Walmart 5-dozen box pricing.
I see it has now gone up.

Walmartplus has a dozen Great Value at $5.45 a dozen and a sixty pack for $27 and change. I've six eggs in the fridge and use about one every two weeks.

I totally believe the Bird Flu thing. ☢️ I started getting a sore throat on Christmas, by Monday it was a full on flu. I called out sick three consecutive days. ☢️ I rarely get SERIOUSLY sick. The last time I was seriously sick, COVID hadn't existed yet. 💡 My Mother got Bird Flu too and she lives in a different State than I do. 💡 I live in Florida, she lives in California. 💡

Flus are dangerous, worst communicable diseases we have going around in the Western world since measles. And there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. Best you can do is maintain your health so that when (not if) you get it, it goes away before you do.

If you get sick and how sick probably has more to do with how long it's been since you've had something that confers cross-immunity than anything else. A pediatrician has sick kids coughing and sneezing and worse on him all day every day yet he never seems to be sick. That's because he's always being exposed and his immunity to everything always being re-upped with a subclinical case before it wears off enough to get really sick.

For some reason in the past year I have been eating lots of omelets at home. Before this year I probably made 10 omelets in my life and now I make one every week.

As the owner of an indoor/outdoor cat, I'm watching bird flu closely. So far my vet says there's no cause for concern because the cases of bird flu have been traced back to chicken feed. This means that the flu is not showing up in wild birds just yet.
