But, as bad as Covid is right now I have this feeling something a lot worse is coming.
A third U.S. farmworker infected with bird flu is the first to experience respiratory symptoms Quote:A third human case of H5 bird flu tied to the ongoing U.S. outbreak in cattle has been detected in a farmworker in Michigan, state health authorities confirmed on Thursday.
The unnamed individual worked on a dairy farm and was in close contact with infected cows, the state health department said in a statement. The farm involved is different from the one where an earlier human case was detected last week.
“With this case, respiratory symptoms occurred after direct exposure to an infected cow,” Natasha Bagdasarian, chief medical executive of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, said in a statement. The individual was not wearing protective equipment, she said.
Quote:The significance of respiratory symptoms relates to the possibility of onward spread. In people, influenza transmits via the respiratory route. A person with flu virus in their airways could be more likely to spread the virus — if the virus has the capacity to transmit between humans — than a person with an infection in their eye.
And with a maskless, clueless population and zero messaging from governments this isn't going to be a lot of fun - especially if this virus maintains it's current 50% fatality rate.
Are you saying that you know more about this virus than almost the entire population? That we all should go back into medical bondage and global isolation indefinitely? Just because you feel that social repression is the only way to stop this virus from infecting people(it didn't)? And, to protect society AT ANY COST!! You do realize that we can, and do medically treat this virus directly!
Our elderly and infirmed will continue to die from colds, flus, covid-19, and many other chronic illnesses. And, there is not much anyone can do, except to make them more comfortable. If their immune system is compromised, all the vaccines in the world won't help.
It is intellectually dishonest and hypocritical to expect others to answer your questions and defend their position, when you simply ignore/dismiss their questions and concerns. Is your position just too weak to defend?
Even the government realizes that it can't keep manufacturing fear indefinitely. As more and more people keep recovering(vaccinated/unvaccinated) from this virus, they soon realized that all the fear-mongering was nothing but hype.
Maybe you can show me any stats that show the reinfection rate of unvaccinated recovered victims? And, compare this rate to the vaccinated recovered victims. This would certainly help your pro-vaccination case. Instead of using only pathos, try logos!
This government, for a time got away with the same kind of repression that is still used in N. Korea. Fortunately we weren't born under this level of social repression. We ended this nonsense. We decided that our freedoms and liberties were much more important, than any disease milder than the measles.
No matter how many ways you want to spin your narrative, the facts won't change.
60% of those infected will be asymptomatic. And will have NO symptoms during the entire course of the illness.
80% of those infected will have mild to moderate symptoms(visit to your chemist) throughout the course of the illness.
99.9% of those infected will recover, regardless of their vaccination status
Those with multiple chronic morbidities, are immunocomprimised, or are DNR will still have the greatest risk of dying. WITH or FROM this illness!!
Now these ARE the relevant facts that you seem to keep ignoring. I guess posting them would undermine the mania of your fear campaign.
