Importance of staying vigilant and informed about potential disease outbreaks and vaccination status.

Well, howdy there, internet people.
Let's bow again.
So today we are going to talk about birds and cows
and pigs and people.
And we're going to run through some information
that is hopefully completely unnecessary.
But it may become a topic,
so we're just gonna kinda go through it now.
I guess it was about a week ago,
almost a week ago, somewhere in there,
we talked about how some cows in Texas and Kansas, I think,
they contracted bird flu.
They contracted bird flu.
A person who was in close contact with one of those cows
has presumably contracted bird flu.
They don't know that for certain yet.
they are operating under the assumption that that is what's going on. And by bird flu we are talking
about H5N1. Now they're saying that it is rare for it to go from person to person. The other thing
that's worth noting is they don't seem incredibly concerned about it jumping from birds to cows.
they're watching for it to go to pigs because apparently pigs have an easier
ability to spread it to people. So that's something they're watching for. The
general tone of this is that state and federal agencies are on it and they're
doing what they can, very early on, and they're not just going to try to wish it
away. I think that's why there's a lot of messaging coming out right now, just to
reassure the public. In related news, it was detected at the largest egg producer
in the US. Production at that facility ceased, and more than a million and a
birds were reportedly destroyed. There is kind of an advisory against consuming
unpasteurized dairy, basically saying if you know or suspect an animal to be
infected, don't consume its dairy. I feel like that should go without saying, but
here we are, the quote is that commercial milk and meat is safe. So that's what's
going on. They're paying a lot of attention to this, there are a lot of
bulletins about it. Most of them are we're on it, we're doing what we can, this
doesn't seem to be a big deal, but we're taking it very very seriously. That's the
general tone of all of it. In related news, health officials in a whole bunch
of states, like the list just keeps growing, at this point they are begging
people to make sure that they have their measles vaccine because that is
also of concern. This is something we'll keep watching because obviously it's not
something you want to be caught off guard by. So, anyway, it's just a thought. Y'all
Have a good day.
