it is time to sound the alarm on bird
0:03
flu bird flu cases are going undetected
0:07
new study suest it's a problem for all
0:10
of
0:11
us just like during the early days of
0:13
covid more people may have bird flu than
0:16
previously thought because not enough
0:18
people are getting tested when they have
0:21
symptoms the Center for Disease Control
0:23
and prevention is dropping the ball the
0:26
article says the agency has bird flu
0:29
vaccine on hand but is decided against
0:32
offering them to Farm Workers citing a
0:34
low number of
0:36
cases meanwhile Finland has already
0:38
started vaccinating its
0:42
population the article goes on to say
0:44
that in the US testing for bird flu
0:47
among Farm Workers remains rare which is
0:50
why graay research stands out as the
0:54
first to look for signs of Prior
0:57
undiagnosed infections and people who
1:00
had been exposed to sick dairy
1:02
cattle Graves team detected signs of
1:06
Prior birth flu infections and workers
1:08
from two dairy farms that had outbreaks
1:10
in Texas earlier this
1:12
year they analyzed bled samples from
1:16
from 14 Farm Workers who had not been
1:18
tested for the virus and found antibod
1:21
reged in two this is a nearly 15% hit
1:25
rate from only two dairy farms out of
1:28
more than7 70 with bird flu outbreaks in
1:32
13 states and last I check there were at
1:35
least 11 people who have had it one of
1:39
the workers that had the
1:42
antibodies had been taking medicine for
1:44
a linging cough when he agreed to allow
1:47
researchers to analyze his blood in
1:49
April the other had recently recovered
1:52
from a respiratory illness she didn't
1:54
know what coughed it but told
1:56
researchers that untested Farm Workers
1:58
around her had been sick too
2:01
so people
2:03
guys we cannot make these same mistakes
2:06
as early
2:09
covid if if this is not
2:12
managed if bird flu is not contained we
2:15
could end up having another pandemic
2:17
just like Co and now there are reports
2:21
that blowflies are carrying bird flu in
2:25
Japan that's really not good because now
2:28
but if the summertime we have
2:31
fers all over the place here in the US
2:34
so that could really be a
2:35
concern other articles also show
2:40
that other articles also
2:42
show that bird flu is spreading commonly
2:46
between mammals humans are classified as
2:49
mammals so we can't be sleeping on this
2:53
so the only advice I can give you
2:56
is don't drink raw milk
3:00
make sure your milk has been
3:02
pasturized don't be all up in in Birds
3:05
faces you know you take pictures of them
3:08
be at a distance me personally I I I
3:11
would try to avoid going up the Birds
3:13
all
3:14
together and you know the risk is just
3:17
too great but yeah I'm just letting you
3:19
know and I I will keep you guys updated
