Summary

A new H5N1 bird flu variant has become “endemic in cows,” with cases detected in Nevada and Arizona, raising concerns about human transmission.

Experts warn that without intervention, the outbreak will continue, but Trump has cut CDC staff and halted flu vaccination campaigns.

The virus’s spread coincides with a severe flu season, increasing the risk of mutation.

The administration has also stopped sharing flu data with the WHO and shifted its containment strategy away from culling infected poultry, raising fears of inadequate response.

    I haven’t had cows milk in years. Somehow all my sauces and things are still turning out delicious! Lots of plant milk is flavored or sweetened. Buying regular/unsweetened almond or oat milk will work for most cases. I am extremely partial to oat milk and I would honestly drink a glass of it

        I’ve heard that pea milk tastes pretty neutral

          I’ll have to give it a try if I ever see some, I think all I’ve ever seen here are soy, almond, rice, and oat.

      It drives me fucking nuts that in the US sweetened soy/almond milk is the default. Sometimes the unsweetened even costs a few cents more.
