I really can't understand Louisiana's decision to ban their health department from advocating for or even mentioning the availability of vaccines. The historical record is pretty clear that vaccines work and the side effects are few and a lot less harmful than the diseases the prevent. It's like the LA legis is suffering from some kind of hysterical panic.

Humans kill many more birds than cats...so one could assume that the birds are looking to kill humans too.

Batshit got us into this whole mess. I'll take anything birdshit can do to alleviate it.

Ta, Gary. The only time our cats have ever been outdoors was in the cat carrier to take them to daycare/boarding with the dogs when we went on our honeymoon. They are strictly indoor cats.

H5N1, like all viruses, mutates. If/when it mutates to airborne, it could make 1918 look like a walk in the park.

There's a country song that goes "I'm getting drunk on a plane" and I legit can't decide if it's the stupidest thing I've ever heard or genius

Worth remembering here that thanks to *multiple* fuck-ups by Shitler and his toadies US COVID cases and deaths—the most of any nation—were some forty percent higher than in countries that had competent leaders and functioning public health systems.

The frightening thing is that the human cases of bird flu are definitely a subset of the real numbers of human cases. This doesn't mean that it's widespread, but it's still "cause for concern." "Cause for concern" means that public health officials are probably more worried than they are letting on.

"...a whole story about a team of scientists from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital who have spent decades collecting bird poop..."

The democrats need to offer more effective ways to kill the population if they ever hope to return to office . . .

"Crap, have the COVID tests we keep under the sink in the bathroom expired yet?"

I am pleased to report that the one-year-past-experation test I used yesterday worked just fine.

(My understanding is that false negatives are the problem, but if the test bar lights up like a neon sign as soon as your nasal fluids touch it, you've got the 'Vid.)

It's also true that people don't go for the COVID test because they're feeling so awesome.

Maybe you don't have COVID, but do have Influenza? Either way, stay home away from people; take some OTC meds if they help you feel better; drink lots of water and get lots of rest.

And I hope you feel better soon.

But yes; COVID is on the rise right now. Hard to quantify it since we stopped keeping track, but anecdotally, it's on the rise.

And despite our pretending COVID is over, commercial real estate is still in very bad shape financially.

Oh it's Covid alright, it's just like the first time I had it. Knocked me flat for two whole days. I'm only now starting to feel like I can get up and do a few things.
