Didn't 2020 pop off with one of the worst Australian bushfires still ongoing, and then one of the worst wildfires in California/Oregon began? And then, you know... that little pandemic thing? How's the bird-flu thing been so far this year? Just wondering
Some guy in California fed raw bird flu milk to his cats and killed 2 blinded a third, iirc.
So...on the way.
What is bird flu milk?
Currently cows are the main carrier of interest for one of the two strains of bird flu that are a concern in the US. The viral particles are being detected in their milk. Hence bird flu milk.
why dont they call it the cow flu then
Because you can't just use up the easy to remember names like that. We've had bird flu, SARS, MERS, swine flu, COVID... We might need cow flu to name a different coronavirus in a few years
Cows cant fly
Duh
If you stay about 20' from a cow, the milker can't shoot milk in your face. The physics behind it are pretty clear, yes cow flu milk is airborne but with a splash mask and 20' distance, we'll have it all under control.
