Game over: “Scientist say the failing to tackle fungal pathogens could lead to a ‘global health catastrophe’ & threaten the future food supply for us all, adding famine & malnutrition will kill people much quicker than Covid-19 did.” mirror.co.uk/news/world-new…

The unnamed patient is a mycologist, an expert who works with fungi & mushrooms.” trtworld.com/magazine/why-s…
“Higher temperatures were found to stimulate the fungus’s transposable ‘jumping genes’, accelerating the number of mutations and leading to adaptations in the way the genes are used and regulated.” euronews.com/green/2023/02/…
“While bacteria & viruses are well known drivers of infection & disease, pathogenic fungi have so far only caused minor problems for healthy people…But that might be about to change.

They are currently most dangerous to immunocompromised people.” (SO many are IC post-Covid)
“Fungí are…also extremely adaptable and many have developed resistance to common fungicides. Higher temperatures also drive the emergence of new variants of the fungal pathogens, while more extreme storms can spread their spores further afield.” theguardian.com/science/2023/m…

IT’S OVER. The day after a flurry of articles announced bird flu is not spreading between humans, a second human bird flu case is reported in Missouri with no known exposure to farm animals.

The media ran these articles on Wednesday & the CDC reported the 2nd case on Thursday. Medical Xpress October 25, 2024 “CDC confirms second human bird flu cause in Missouri with no known exposure to farm animals” Robin foster

I don’t understand how they’re concluding human to human transmission isn’t occurring. What? medicalxpress.com/news/2024-10-c…Medical Xpress: This person shared a home with a patient who was first hospitalized with bird flu in August, but antibody tests have since shown that symptomatic health care workers who cared for the patient were not infected with the H5N1 virus, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in its latest bird flu update. As for the household contact of the original hospital patient, the investigation has shown that the fact "that these two individuals had identical symptom onset dates support a single common exposure to bird flu rather than person-to-person spread within t...

Millions upon millions of people will die this way. I expect to. I noticed this incident occurred in 2022. Media doesn’t usually cover recent Covid-related incidents, in order to create the illusion it’s no longer happening. “Coexisting with Covid” is a road to nowhere. We probably won’t hear about this year’s carnage until 2026.Guardian: This mother made six attempts to raise the alarm about her sick toddler. Doctors told her he’d be fine. They were fatally wrong The death of her son, Micah, highlights the danger of medics ignoring parental concerns. ‘It was like they were gaslighting us,’ says Keri-Sue McManus Merope Mills Merope Mills Sat 26 Oct 2024 05.00 EDT
“Micah’s primary-care doctor told Keri-Sue the elevated pulse was nothing to worry about, just swollen glands, a vestige of Covid.”

(My glands have been swollen since 2020, but tiny bodies cannot handle this shit. We are immunocompromised...) theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
It’s a well-kept secret that everyone but the public is privy to.

They’re tiptoeing up to it, but no one wants to pull the trigger before the election.

SIX healthcare workers became ill after contact with a single H5N1 patient who had no exposure to animals.

The clock is ticking… Physicians weekly: Meanwhile, in what could be the first cases of bird flu spreading between humans in the United States, a group of potential H5N1 human infections in Missouri is being investigated by the CDC. Antibody tests to confirm H5N1 infections in that group are still pending.

JFC. California has reported 15 human H5N1 cases in like three weeks.

One of the reasons I have accepted our fate & routinely disassociate to get through my days dealing with misled individuals is because every time I go to a doctor’s appointment—for animals or humans—employees loudly & proudly tell me straight up lies with their WHOLE CHESTS, things like, “Covid doesn’t infect cats. Animals don’t get viruses from people.” I’m sorry, how do you work at an animal hospital & not know cats have been dying of Covid in droves? It’s the same thing at human medical appointments. “Covid doesn’t do that. Covid is a cold.” No one has any idea what they are talking about it, and these are the people who get paid to know this stuff, in theory. We’re doomed.
When I take my teens to a medical/vet appointment after carefully educating them about Covid in humans or Covid in pets, & then I’m undercut by people with credentials who should know better, as they tell us blatant lies right to our faces, I die a little more inside. It feels like no matter how well we educate our kids, all of society is invested in undoing it all.
The cat has 105 degree fever & his heart rate is 240bpm. They’re doing labs, he got Sub-Q fluids & antibiotics. If he doesn’t improve they’ll do X-rays, because they suspect his heart isn’t well. I guess the cat & I both have heart problems. Though I mentioned his brother abruptly died 9 months ago when my kid had Covid, I didn’t bother mentioning I believe the cat has had multiple Covid infections, since they can’t really do anything about it anyway.

Four causes of human H5N1 have been reported in Washington. California just reported 13 human H5N1 cases in two weeks, & 6 Missouri healthcare workers got sick from a single H5N1 patient who had no contact with animals.

This makes 31 H5N1 cases in humans reported in the U.S. since the beginning of the year.
Scroll up to access my most recent lengthy H5N1 thread. 👇
Only one of these healthcare workers was tested. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…BBC: 27 September 2024 “Four more Missouri healthcare workers are experiencing mild respiratory symptoms after coming in contact with a bird flu patient, health officials said Friday. A total of six healthcare workers have now developed symptoms after having contact with the patient, who is the first confirmed person to contract the disease with no known animal exposure.”
