“We laugh so we do not cry.”
I’ve been following H5N1 pretty closely for several months and one of the first things I did on Lemmy was set up a community to post news stories to. !h5n1_avianflu@lemmy.sdf.org
5 more of the deceased cats in Poland were confirmed today to have died of H5N1 for a total of 34 now. There was a report that one of the owners provided a sample of raw chicken that had been fed to the cats, and it tested positive for H5N1. This was almost immediately followed up by a very defensive press conference with the Polish government insisting it wasn’t true; Poland supplies about 20% of the European market for chicken. Make of that what you will.
That none of the owners got sick is great news, but no one should be breathing easy about what’s happening globally. :|
Upvoted for visibility! 🤪
I’m seeing the same thing, and I’m on a different instance. I think it’s probably a Memmy issue. My other account on another instance with Wefwef seems fine.
Intercepted? That’s a shame.
I have 3 young-and-not-so-young adult children (big gap between them) and I have found myself wanting to apologize to them so many times for bringing them into this shit show. I really didn’t know it was going to get this bad. As a child of the 70’s I was promised a world of ecologically and socially conscious people by now. Welp…
Seconding the Calibre recommendation!
Yeah, it’s a bad, bad time to be a wild bird right now, or anything that eats them. The list of mammals who’ve died from it is growing, and sea lions are getting wiped out by the thousands. I think only Australia and Antarctica are still virus-free (for now).
It doesn’t keep me up at night, but I’m definitely watching!
