Researchers also say more sampling is needed. Almost 50 herds of dairy cattle across 9 US states have had confirmed cases of H5N1, and one infected person has been linked to the outbreak. But the actual numbers are probably much higher, scientists say. “There’s almost certainly been a lot more human cases than just the one,” says Peacock.
Have you forgotten the amount of identity politics, dental, indifference, and insane pseudoscience that circulated during Covid? All of which mostly boiled down to “I’m scared and confused but can’t admit it even to myself, so I’m gonna blame science and the government and just do whatever the hell I want.”
Seriously, there were people swearing - while fucking dying of COVID I’m the hospital - that they have no regrets about refusing the the vaccine. Absolute fucking insanity.
I havent forgotten about it at all and I’m equally afraid of the extreme and downright bizarre manifestations of denial happening all over again with a potentially deadlier virus.
I guess I didn’t want to get into the social effects because I find it to be even more mentally draining. I deleted Facebook because seeing the proliferation of pseudo science and antivax stuff was equal parts depressing and disturbing.
