I find it worth noting that, as opposed to COVID, this time around it’s affecting rural parts of the US first, instead of urban areas. It’s the rural areas that, generally, didn’t take COVID seriously.

I wonder if this time around they’re going to stick to their guns about how simple protective measures somehow infringe on their freedumbs, or if a little prudence will suddenly become “the American Way.”

I imagine that the conspiracy theories about the Biden administration deliberately infecting cows with H5N1 over 5G networks have already started.

    Thank you. Finally a story about this that addresses the real problem and not “there’s flu in our milk!!!”

      I think that flu being in the milk is also a problem, at least if people are gonna consume it raw.
