Could bird flu become a pandemic? | Inside Story

The world is experiencing its largest recorded outbreak of bird flu.
Populations of poultry and wild birds are becoming infected.
Argentina and Uruguay have declared a state of 'national sanitary emergency' after detecting the virus in wild birds.
Experts say it has become endemic for the first time as some wild birds transmit the virus to poultry.
So just how serious is it?

It’s not surprising given the situation these poor birds have to live in. Over crowding alone does this. It’s disgusting 🤮

Very informative news. Entire world leaders instead of westing money, energy and time on wars, should collectively take serious steps to save humanity, our planet really really really is going towards catastrophe and nothing is more then humanity. Due to stupidity of world leaders next generation from every country will suffer.

Thanks for the informative segment. Raising awareness isn´t being "alarmist".

Bird flu does not render the birds nor the eggs inedible. This is just another contrived "emergency".

[@James-ke5sx]

The birds or the eggs may not be inedible but would you want to work all day long in a farm with a disease with thousands of chickens that has a 50% death rate

Hmm, this "billions will die" bird flu is conveniently right before they started talking about the great reset initiative.

[@MattJohno2]

This has been going on since late 2021. H5N1 isn't a new thing. Now that it's in mammals it has a chance to mutate and start spreading among humans, and if it does, it could make the entire COVID pandemic look like child's play in comparison. Honestly would not like to be on the tail-end of that, or rather, the spike protein. Wildly enough, I've never gotten an illness from a block of Tofu.

[@puravida9302]

Too much money to be made for this to stop. That just might be what's happening.

[@NastyDevil137]

We should do gain of function research on it. Make it more powerful and then have lax safety. It’s the wise move. 🐸

You forgot the part where political views will mitigate the spread

It's out of season here in BLR. Dysentery, diarrhea and UTI will dominate from the latter part of this month.... Dr. Joseph, MBBS.

[@JM24180]

What do you mean - that this is the norm and not unusual?

[@solapowsj25]

@@JM24180 it's very warm here at present, and so respiratory infections are few except for asthma type due to dust and pollen in the air. However, cases of dysentery, diarrhea and UTI caused respectively by E histolytica, E coli and E coli in that order has begun to increase. Anyone taking food at a roadside hotel is likely to get symptoms. By March end and April, there'd be a rise in dengue cases when mosquitoes increase after the first rains. It may surprise you that a single mosquito from last winter would have laid eggs of which 300 mosquitoes could arise after the first rains if the eggs have been in a moist warm place. We spray the locality with DDT to prevent this.

How long can we effectively stave off the transformation of H5N1 avian influenza into a pandemic virus and its adaptation to species previously deemed resistant, without slowing the unrelenting expansion of the global poultry population and the subsequent increase in human-poultry interactions?

That doctor in Surrey has the weirdest ‘British’ accent. Hard to make out what he is saying.

[@gunhojput]

I live in the country and signs have gone up regarding the flu but the only dead bird i have seen was hit by a truck so my question is where do all these infected birds go when they are ill, the birds i have in my garden and surrounding areas show no signs whatsoever, so in my opinion its just a scare tactic to get us to mask up again as the last effort failed.
