In the last month, our winged-pals and gobble-tastic turkeys at multiple far-meadows have been featherly infected, causing the deaths of over 1.3 million poultry.
This is one talon-ted virus that's causing quite the flap in the food chain! #BirdFlu
But don't just wing it, this isn't just a poultry problem. This flu is spreading like wildfire and is even affecting our wild bird friends and other wildlife, including the ursine species. It's time to take action and prevent this virus from hatching any further plans!
This outbreak not only affects the poultry industry, but also has wider implications for the food supply chain, as well as for the environment.
The loss of poultry can lead to a #EggShortage, meat, and other products, while the death of wild birds can disrupt ecosystems and impact other wildlife. In some cases, even bears have been affected by the virus, further highlighting its widespread impact.

The #Peru National Agricultural Health Service reports that a dolphin and three sea lions found dead along the Peruvian coast recently tested positive for #H5N1.
People who have had contact with sea lions, with or without signs of illness, or other mammals should seek medical treatment or monitoring. Personnel handling the corpses must also follow all biosecurity protocols as a precaution.
This is what happens when you legalize the spreading of COVID-19.
Everyone gets a free license to spread whatever they want like #tuberculosis, and they kind of have a point. Not illegal for COVID, why illegal for TB?
I convinced #GPT to give me some headlines from r/worldnews, but for summer 2023:
"Breaking: North and South Korea Unite to Form the Korean Confederation"
"NASA's Mars Mission a Success, First Humans Land on Red Planet"
"World Leaders Gather for Climate Summit, Agree to Halve CO2 Emissions by 2030"
"Elon Musk's Neuralink Implant Allows Direct Brain-Computer Interface"
"Quantum Computing Breakthrough Solves Decades-Old Math Problems in Minutes"
I asked it to get some headlines on #H5N1 for 2023:
"H5N1 Virus Spreading Rapidly in Southeast Asia, Health Officials Concerned"
"H5N1 Outbreaks Confirmed in Major Cities Across China"
"WHO Issues Global Health Emergency Over H5N1 Spread"
Well, it looks like the #DropletDogma has been proven wrong! #N95 masks are up to 75 times more effective than surgical masks in preventing #COVID19 transmission, according to a recent study.
A separate experiment from the study found that social distancing barely helped, with the infection risk reaching 80% after just one minute, and 99.9% after 20 minutes.
The fit of the mask is the most important factor, Bodenschatz, said. “It turns out that leakage dominates over filtration.” Masks should have a tight fit around the face and nose to minimize any air leakage.
So I guess this little #Javascript function can reduce illness, and maybe even save lives, as it is what I used to gauge and then reduce my risk: github.com/TheMemeticist/…
