William Vasquez+FollowCDC Calls Off Bird Flu EmergencyBig update: The CDC just ended its emergency response to H5N1 bird flu because cases have dropped and there haven’t been any new human infections since February. They’re still keeping an eye on things, but for now, no more all-hands-on-deck mode. Experts say if cases pop up again, they can ramp up fast. Feels like a relief, but they’re not letting their guard down! #Health #BodyHealth #BirdFlu5412Share
rmartinFollowingCDC Calls Off Bird Flu EmergencyBig update: The CDC just ended its emergency bird flu response because animal infections are way down and there haven’t been any new human cases since February. Bird flu isn’t gone, but it’s not a major threat right now. They’ll still keep an eye on things, just not in emergency mode. Kinda wild how fast things can change! #Health #BodyHealth #BirdFlu540Share
Alexandria Simmons+FollowBird Flu Drama: Why Letting It Rip Is RiskySo, there's talk from some officials about just letting bird flu run wild through chicken farms, hoping to find naturally immune birds. But experts say that's a recipe for disaster—think sky-high egg prices, empty shelves, and a real risk of the virus mutating to infect humans. Instead of rolling the dice, scientists want more surveillance and smarter outbreak responses. Bottom line: letting bird flu "do its thing" could mean fewer omelets and more headaches for everyone. #Business #Industry #BirdFlu20Share
Joel Sweeney+FollowUSDA’s Bird Flu Vaccine DramaThe USDA might finally greenlight a bird flu vaccine for poultry, but it’s causing major drama between egg and chicken producers. Egg farmers are desperate for protection after losing millions of hens (and seeing egg prices skyrocket), but chicken meat companies worry a vaccine could kill exports if trading partners freak out. The plan? Vaccinate chicks, test flocks, and hope trading partners don’t ban U.S. poultry. Decision expected in July—this could seriously shake up your breakfast! #BirdFlu #USDA #Poultry #Health #BodyHealth10Share
peterfoster+FollowWhy the Feds Just Ghosted ModernaHeads up: The government just pulled the plug on a $766 million deal with Moderna for a bird flu vaccine. Translation? No more big bucks for Moderna’s new shot, even though early tests looked good. The reason: officials want to back tried-and-true vaccine methods, not just the latest tech. If you’re counting on quick shots in a future outbreak, this could mean fewer options—and maybe longer waits. Stay tuned for what Moderna does next! #VaccineNews #Moderna #BirdFlu #Business2511Share
Joel Sweeney+FollowBird Flu Now Hitting Cats—Should We Worry?Bird flu is taking a scary turn—it's now killing cats at a 90% rate, and experts say it could jump to humans next. Researchers found hundreds of cat deaths worldwide, but most cats aren’t even being tested. The virus is spreading in new ways, from eating infected birds to sharing food with sick cows. Scientists are sounding the alarm: we need to watch our pets and keep an eye on shelters before this becomes a bigger problem for both cats and people. #BirdFlu #CatHealth #PandemicWatch #PetSafety #ScienceNews #Health4213Share
Joel Sweeney+FollowWhy Did Bird Flu Cases Suddenly Drop?Bird flu cases in the US have mysteriously plummeted, and no one’s sure why. Experts are tossing around theories: maybe it’s just a seasonal dip, maybe fewer people are getting tested (especially farm workers worried about immigration), or maybe government cuts are making it harder to track. Animal cases are down too, but some scientists think mild human cases are flying under the radar. The CDC says risk is low for most of us, but the mystery is far from solved! #BirdFlu #HealthNews #Mystery #FarmLife #CDC #Health4383Share
Melanie James+FollowWhy Did the FDA Stop Testing Milk?!The FDA just hit pause on milk testing for bird flu—right when experts say we need it most. Cows across the US are getting sick, and some farm workers are catching it too. Experts are freaking out, warning that ditching these tests could make things way worse. If you drink milk or eat cheese, this is one to watch. Feels like we’re flying blind here! #BirdFlu #MilkTesting #PublicHealth #FDA #FoodSafety #Health54Share
aguilarallison+FollowBird Flu Isn’t Just for Birds AnymoreH5N1 bird flu is making headlines again—and not in a good way. The first U.S. death just happened, and experts are worried because this virus keeps mutating and jumping to new animals (even cows!). Most people get it from close contact with infected birds or animals, but now dairy workers and even cats are at risk. The scary part? It’s getting better at infecting humans, and the mortality rate is no joke. Stay alert, especially if you’re around animals! #BirdFlu #H5N1 #HealthNews #PublicHealth #AnimalHealth #Health00Share
William Vasquez+FollowBird Flu Is Now Hitting Cats & Dogs?!Bird flu isn’t just for the birds anymore—now it’s spreading to cats and dogs in 31 states! Pet parents are freaking out as cases pop up, especially in places like Colorado and the Midwest. The virus has mutated and is jumping to our furry friends, mostly when they tangle with wild birds. Watch for flu-like symptoms in your pets and keep them away from bird hotspots. No vaccine for pets yet, so prevention is everything! #BirdFlu #PetSafety #CatHealth #DogHealth #PetParents #Health70Share
