Seriously just fuck off!

Get your horse paste boys!

The key takeaway from that report is that the mutations observed will lead towards human to human transmission.

Ivermectin and glass pipe ready to go! Lets goooooooooo.


PS. What if we shoot our guns at it?

What are you talking about?

The mutations seen in the patient are rare but have been reported in some cases in other countries and most often during severe infections. One of the mutations was also seen in another severe case from British Columbia, Canada.
No transmission from the patient in Louisiana to other persons has been identified, said the CDC.

It's a mutation, and not new. I saw nothing that said anything about human to human spread.

Also just in time for Trump to fuck it all up again. Nice !!

The reuters story you linked doesn't go as in depth as other reporting.

Even that article says the mutation is not enough for human to human spread.
And I didn't link the reuters story, Indus did, complete with panicky headline about jumping to humans, which it did a long time ago.

It also says right in the first couple lines that it's made mutations that specifically help it attach to cells in the upper airways of humans.

It says it right in the headline. Also says "The mutation likely developed post-infection".

The concern is human to human spread, not mentioned anywhere in either article. I just thought this thread title, and implying it was jumping between humans was a bit sensationalist.

I mean, I don't particularly care if patient zero's ability to transfer from human to human came during initial transmission or post-infection, and neither does the virus. The point is, we're seeing mutations that suggest we're are very likely to pop a win for h5n1 soon.

This ^.

CDC says?!!? they are in the pocket of big pharma!

So this is Trump’s plan to fix the housing crisis. Checkmate libs.

CONCEPT of a plan

If I was a man without morals I'd be hitting up my right wing FB groups and start prepping them to wear masks again.

The masks just trap the virus and make everyone sick. Masks are big pharma's plan!

Yeah, this time RFK Jr. can also oppose vaccines, so saddle up, it's going to be smooth ride.

Fuck that. Ivermectin for the win!!

Well at least you've got a President and health secretary that you can trust if there's another pandemic!

There are some professionals whose ideas/opinions and work ethic will help when the time comes. There will be politicians who will be a big part of the problem, you can depend on that.

They said as much on OTA national news last night on ABC. Then they showed a man declaring again that the risk to human population remains low. Well, you know which way the wind blows. They will continue to say that until the risk is obviously high because they want to quell any sense of panic. Meantime, the price of eggs goes up because chickens are being slaughtered to control the spread. Bleed of the virus beyond birds is continuing to develop.
