Yeah, bird flu is really bad.

This is why we must freeze USDA funding, halt all public health communications from our federal government, and urgently (TOP PRIORITY!!!) scrub all mentions of the word "women" from every public-facing piece of scientific content we can find.

Look, we all know these were chickens hired because of DEI under Obama.

Why does this mostly affect the US? I've been abroad most of the year and eggs don't seem overly expensive.

The bird flu is mostly contained to North America. Birds fly north/south, not east/west, so so far there has been no reports of it moving across either ocean. This is why Europeans and Asians are terrified of bird flu transmitting between humans, because then an infected human could get on a plane and spread it there. So far, however, that threat remains unrealised.

Didn't the UK just cull millions of birds for H5N1?

To cite a close-to-home example, chicken farms in Canada typically have about 25,000 chickens, whereas ones in the U.S. often have millions. So an infection that requires the entire flock to be slaughtered has a much bigger effect on the supply of eggs south of the border.

I hope they stop this cultural war and focus on the real problems that actually affects the population,for example, high prices.

Musk and Trump have both publicly said that people will need to accept higher prices.

(After getting elected on promises to lower prices on day one)

I did think it was funny that they included 'women' and 'female' in that list. Medicine is gonna have a hard time with that one, "this drug has some adverse effects with uhh… ovulating persons?"

I'm not doubtful that happened, but could you provide a source?

What is the executive branch of the government doing about H5N1 currently? I have not seen any press releases or statements about it. edit: I'm not being facetious, and don't welcome flippant replies. I'm genuinely interested, since I haven't seen any updates and have well-founded reasons to be skeptical this is getting the necessary attention.

Nothing, same guy who said Covid would be over by Easter a month after the first lockdowns.
