California declared an emergency over bird flu. How serious is the situation?
Dec 19, 2024

California officials have declared a state of emergency over the spread of bird flu, which is tearing through dairy cows in that state and causing sporadic illnesses in people in the U.S.

That raises new questions about the virus, which has spread for years in wild birds, commercial poultry and many mammal species.

The virus, also known as Type A H5N1, was detected for the first time in U.S. dairy cattle in March. Since then, bird flu has been confirmed in at least 866 herds in 16 states.

California declared an emergency over bird flu. How serious is the situation?
Dec 19, 2024

From the article:

In addition to direct contact with farm animals and wild birds, the H5N1 virus can be spread in raw milk. Pasteurized milk is safe to drink, because the heat treatment kills the virus, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

But high levels of the virus have been found in unpasteurized milk. And raw milk sold in stores in California was recalled in recent weeks after the virus was detected at farms and in the products.

In Los Angeles, county officials reported that two indoor cats that were fed the recalled raw milk died from bird flu infections. Officials were investigating additional reports of sick cats.

Health officials urge people to avoid drinking raw milk, which can spread a host of germs in addition to bird flu.

Is the COVID vaccine effective against it?

Of course, you can't catch anything when you're dead.

From the article:

Of course they will blame raw milk...

Interesting. Do they regularly test dead cats for cause of death?

Shit like this is why the Democrats lost the election. People are going to vote with their wallets when they see how expensive groceries are.

That is one way to get people to stop eating eggs.

One of natures most perfect foods.

I realized I was in California when I stopped at a Walmart to grab some bandaids for a scrape... and they were behind glass. Bandaids. Behind glass. California is really something else...

No, that's not it. The plan is to make protein unaffordable so everybody starts eating bugs. Due to the change in food ecology, over time, the human population will evolve beaks and feathers and will become giant, tasty chickens that the "Elites" can hunt on Reservation:Earth while on expedition from their spaceships...

still ~2 bucks per dozen on east coast at aldi.

we've been so financialized that there's a huge arbitrage trade in eggs now?

Yeah, it's my claim, because I saw it in a grocery store myself. I didn't take a picture, so believe it or not.

That's pic worthy. $14 for a dozen eggs? Were they organic, free range and at the most expensive grocer in the middle of Beverly Hills? Lol

Yeah, I think they were the organic, but the less expensive ones were still $12. It was "the only store in the area" situation.

An AI engine gave this information about California Eggs:

California Egg Shortage

California is currently experiencing an unprecedented egg shortage due to the outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) virus, specifically the H5N1 strain, among commercial egg-laying hens. Here are the key points:

Causes:

Bird flu outbreak: The virus has spread rapidly among commercial flocks in California, with 31 affected flocks reported as of December 2024.

Culling of infected birds: To prevent the virus from spreading, infected birds are being euthanized, leading to a significant reduction in egg production.

California’s cage-free egg requirement: The state’s rule mandating cage-free eggs has increased production costs, making it more challenging for farmers to maintain egg supplies.

Consequences:

Limited egg availability: Many grocery stores in California, including Whole Foods and Safeway, have implemented egg purchase limits (2-3 cartons per customer) due to shortages.

Rising prices: Egg prices have increased significantly, with a dozen eggs costing an average of $6.80 in California, compared to $4.01 nationally.

Impact on food security: The shortage may affect vulnerable populations who rely heavily on eggs as a staple food item.

Economic implications: The egg shortage is expected to have a ripple effect on the agricultural sector, with potential losses for farmers and increased costs for consumers.

Timeline:

The USDA predicts that egg shortages will persist until mid-2025.
California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency on December 18, 2024, to bolster the state’s response to the outbreak.

Note the stories often talk about the "fatal bird flu", but how would they know how "fatal" it is when they continually kill them all at the first sign of a positive test in a flock?

Is a chicken some kind of unique animal that doesn't have an immune system?

It is a new phenomena that is the result of man made climate change.

Shout out to all the Californians eating their own eggs they harvest from own birds

Guess people on this forum & others were full of shit when they said individuals would be banned from having their own hens
