I find it worth noting that, as opposed to COVID, this time around it’s affecting rural parts of the US first, instead of urban areas. It’s the rural areas that, generally, didn’t take COVID seriously.

I wonder if this time around they’re going to stick to their guns about how simple protective measures somehow infringe on their freedumbs, or if a little prudence will suddenly become “the American Way.”

I imagine that the conspiracy theories about the Biden administration deliberately infecting cows with H5N1 over 5G networks have already started.

    How about reevaluating our Dairy husbandry practices as well to address overcrowding and feed quality of the cows? Its healthier for all. The cows, the workers, the quality of the milk and ultimately the health of the people. The cows are crammed into barns where they spend virtually their entire lives indoors. They are fed all together with processed food made from literal chicken excrement that they eat off the floor through confinement systems and head slots. Its a dismal existence. Why are we not talking about this? It has been proposed in the past that the practice of feeding dairy cows chicken litter ( poop ) be banned due to the risk of contamination, yet we still allow this practice in the US.
