Do we have to listen to the pseudo science president talk about bleach, horse meds for the next four years. He did so well last time.

Well it's Louisiana. It was either this or a gator.

This is a sobering reminder of how fragile public health can be, especially for vulnerable groups. 🦠 For those over 65 or with underlying conditions, staying informed and proactive about health risks is crucial. Practice good hygiene (bird flu can spread through infected surfaces/animals).

Don’t worry. It will just disappear - like a miracle.

I'm sure it will be gone by April.

Trump will ignore the expert’s research/advise just like he did with Covid and kill millions.

Not falling for that again.

Where is the vaccine for that? Hmmmmmm? 🙄 Mr. Kennedy?

I don’t think you understand how many of Americas people fit this description…..

I'm not surprised someone in Louisiana was screwing a goose.

Just in time for RFK jr to SCREW America!

How about you try reporting on this pandemic without minimizing it this time

A huge difference between bird flu victims here in Canada and your American victim of bird flu. Here, our victim was young and is recovering and we have a GREAT publicly funded healthcare system compared to an old man in a profiteering DEATH Management system in America.

Don’t worry you can trust RFK Jr to deal with this. Right? I mean he’s a science based guy who’s going to be running your health system. It’ll be fine. Yup. Just fine.

CNN giving Trump future cover again. Underlying conditions indeed.

I trust a red state to report medical reality as much as I trust a Hannibal Lector potluck dish. "He was old and sick! Believe me!" We all endured the same avalanche of bullshit; We saw it under Pandemic Don, it'll be gone by summer. If Bird Flu mutates with 40-Fiven at the helm we're fucked.

I don't believe you CNN

Oh they were your grandparents age? Oh well then f**k them. What are we gonna do take precautions to keep your grandparents alive? Crazy talk!

Rfk on it.... were fukd

I take it the TrumpCare leeches, bleach and bleeding didn't work?

Donald said it was just a cold.

Just in time for the Orange Idiot and Republicans to kill people. Whether it's starving them to death or taking healthcare and Social Security away. Stop voting for people who want you dead (aka)Republicans.

Sadly, how viruses work

Someone said they’ll just fall by the wayside

Just another old person so we can just ignore this new deadly flu…

One case doesn't describe the dynamics in humans.

We’re all gonna die? I’ve only screwed hundreds of hot men! Oh nooooooo!

Definitely won't overshadow trump he will just ignore it till it's killing thousands a day, then deny it even exists.

"Over 65"... Including that info is intentional. It's what was used to downplay C19, and here we go again. Ageist and ableist language, to make it "okay" that it happened. Shame on LADH and everyone one else publishing this.

Elderly? Disabled? Well, who cares then 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's the sequel, after all

It's not all bad then

RFK and Lord Cheeto and Leon will handle this just swimmingly..😐

Oh who gives a shit then if it’s only killing over 65s with other health conditions…. WHICH IS MOST FUCKING OVER 65YR OLDS BTW

Dad joked?

How can there be a bird flu? Birds don't exist, according to Trumpers. Hoax.

Time to mask up!

Americans are in luck. If this bird flu becomes another pandemic, we have Trump coming back to save us from harm. First, eliminate all public health institutions with skills and experience. Second, make sure the public has plenty of bleach for injecting.

And so it begins and with the "best admnistration ever" in charge. God we are doomed 😱

Everyone over 65 has underlying health issues.

Johnson plays with his son's Johnson

Oh good, we're back to manufacturing consent by reassuring everyone that only old and disabled people get killed by our most recent foray into having a fucking massive brutal plague. The Jackpot fucking sucks, WG I wish you weren't so right all the time. >:|

🥲

GOOD PLACE TO START...MOVE SOUTH....GET THOSE HURRICANES BACK TOO AND WASH AWAY ALL THE HATE, LIES, BIGOTRY, HOMOPHOBIA & RACISM....SO SICK OF REPUBLICANS & ANTI VAX BS & MISINFORMATION 🤬🖕

Just in time for DT-45/47 to sabotage the response by federal public health authorities!

Even allergies are considered an underlying condition 🙄🙄🙄. Same minimizing, worse virus. 😬🤦

Shit will get real, real fast and we have a bunch of incompetent people at the helm in a few weeks. It will be everyone for themselves very soon..

Is it a coincidence that the virus looks like the family tree of a Trump supporter?

According to insurers, nearly all of us have underlying medical conditions.

We’re so lucky we have Donald Trump and RFKJr coming in to run the show… what could possibly go wrong?

OMG. So, we’re back to the tired, old argument - he was old and sick, so he deserved to die from the bird flu because something was going to get him soon. His age and underlying conditions don’t matter. We have a human death from this disease and need to mitigate its transmission. That’s the story.

Oh. So. Round 2 of "nothing to see here, folks."

In news from countries with well developed healthcare systems - I got my first bird flu vaccine about ten years ago. The reaction to that first one laid me out for a couple of days, the same for others I know. If it does roll out in the US, expect lots of scare stories and conspiracy led panic.

Fr fr

@boonick.bsky.social is gonna let his uncle cream on his face again after reading this article 😂🍆

oh then that makes it ok so what you’re saying is anybody older or has underlying conditions should die where are we? I hate this place. I have fought for my life for six years and I’m just disposable I guess.

The officials say that the patient in Louisiana who died of H5N1 bird flu “was older than 65 and had underlying medical conditions,” and while these comments are clearly meant to assuage public fears, that officials are already minimizing this death is really rather frightening.

Most people over 65 have underlying medical conditions. What is the CDC and the incoming nominees with no medical background doing to prevent bird flu becoming the next pandemic? Oh right. Nothing for us, only for the friends at MAL.

One of the 'underlying medical conditions' was no healthcare.

Ah, CNN… so it’s their fault for being born long ago, and having health issues. How many people over age 65 DON’T have at least one underlying health issue??? (Spoiler Alert- hardly anyone.) #SkyMed

Being near that age and having the traitor take over in a few days is quite terrifying.

Y’all I call it 🐂💩 like 🐒Pox 🌈🦄stay awake, stay queer! 🏳️‍🌈

This is certainly concerning news. It highlights the important intersection of human health and wildlife diseases. Let's hope for more research and better preventative measures moving forward. Stay safe, everyone.

It's not prep time yet but when reports of people dying from a mysterious illness in China, I stocked up but only things I ended up using anyway like a lot of extra TP, non-perishable food, etc. and it made the time during the pandemic a lot easier while not being wasteful.

Not helping is that "underlying medical condition" is practically the norm since neither party wants to fix our broken healthcare system.

😟😟😟🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Here's a guy with underlying mental conditions

That was describes Donald Trump. Was it Trump? Please let it be Trump.

Oh great. And who’s here to take care of it, Trump and Kennedy!

Don't worry Kennedy will fix it.

In that case, it is better to eat the Dogs and Cats like the Orange Turd was explaining, instead of the birds

Oh, you just can't help yourselves, can you. Listen, as someone who spent 22 months in the ICU battling COVID, I can tell you that every porky American under 65 is screwed with #H5N1... you're a disgrace.

Aren’t we all to the Elmo crowd.

yep.

Perhaps screaming “Jail Fauci” had a chilling effechilling effect on other people in the federal government. Why stick your neck out if you’re gonna get doxxed and harassed by right-wing media and idiots on Twitter?

Uh huh... "As President-elect Donald Trump comes into office in January, farmworkers may be even less protected. Trump’s pledge of mass deportations will have repercussions whether they happen or not, said Tania Pacheco-Werner, director of the Central Valley Health Policy Institute in California."

I didn't think that last time. Only thinking of it now because of the whole Rep response to the pandemic. Seemed like they didn't want to take any precautions. As for where we are now, there are many reasons for that besides the pandemic.

So was covid until it wasn’t.

And antivax Kennedy jr in charge of healthcare.

Wait for it…. Republicans will deny and call a hoax!

Protect us all by getting your regular flu vaccine too. A big risk for humans is someone getting BOTH the bird flu & another flu at the same time, increasing the chance of mutations that make it easier to transmit the bird flu from person to person.

Isn’t this Mike Johnson’s state? This doesn’t happen there. They would never compromise someone’s health

If one is immunocompromised That’s it Adieu

So you can raise the price of eggs?

Hopefully we won’t need 10 boosters for this one…ugh

CNN sucks balls, as usual. This time for trying to play down another potential pandemic.

It's God's punishment for voting Satan into power. Sensible folk will follow the correct safety procedures and take their vaccines. Maga voters will see it all as a conspiracy and get wiped out. Good on them. Should free up some housing and open some jobs up. Cracking.

I have no confidence in the new administration to handle an epidemic/pandemic.

Never seen public health reported in such an obviously ageist manner. What were the ages of the previous survivors? Were they healthy or did they have any conditions? How severe were their conditions etc etc

I feel like this should be followed by an ominous "Duhnn, duhn, duhnnnnn"!

It's most fatal to people between ages 10-39, so no need to try to comfort people with agist eugenics. emedicine.medscape.com/article/2500...

Just in time for an inept administration. Here we go, economic collapse in less than 3 years.

So bird flu is a really tightly rolled joint?

It’s a sign about Trump invading the WH!!

And when this doesn't scare people, they will start using the term, "Avian Flu" to make it sound worse. Two weeks to flatten the curve.

Based on this dashboard, the United States has had the highest number of people infected since January 2024. shiny.paho-phe.org/h5n1/

LFGGGGGGGG

If this becomes a human pandemic, it will be so much worse this time. People in most of the US will not abide shutdowns, or wear masks, none of it. I'd be ok if that would only kill the asshats, but that's not how disease works. Bigly sad.

Exactly. 65 is too old as far as the ruling class is concerned. Remember when omicron was touted as mild and only lethal to compromised people? Headline should have been that it evaded the vaccine!

Because we know how well Trump’s preparedness response was for Covid. “It’ll all go away by Easter.” Hopefully this is not as extensive an outbreak / issue as Covid

Pity about the death but encouraging that there were underlying conditions that MAGAtards/RFK Jr will use to justify why the bird flu is a false flag and not something that they need to vaccinate against. If you can't bring their numbers down with reason, bring them down through willful ignorance.

Don’t worry,RFK is on it,we’ll be safe

Fugh you CNN and burn in hell. You suck. Thanks for aiding Donald J. For Genius Trump win this election. Eat the rich. Burn baby burn.

Again acting like people over 65 are expendable.

This time there won't be Fauci to save us

WHAT THE FUCK

Mask up

It sure would be a shame if all those anti vax, anti science southerners dropped dead from this. I’d be totally bummed, personally.

AND Louisiana’s State Department of HEALTH in NO LONGER having Flu, COVID and Monkey Pox VACCINE CLINICS or providing Any Education on the BENEFITS of Vaccines!!!! Great Place for GROUND Zero of the Next Pandemic in the United States of America!!!!
