It       became an issue in dairies and commercial poultry farms in the US       because the USDA and CDC never restricted dairy worker movements. They       knew that most of the herds that were getting infected did not share       cattle, but that dairy workers on infected farms were known to work at       more than one dairy, and that dairy workers from infected dairies also       worked on some of the Michigan commercial layer farms that got infected,       but dairy worker testing was never implemented, nor were the workers       restricted from going from farm to farm. By the time California got       infected it was well known that dairy worker movements should be       restricted, but everyone remained in denial, and the result was that       over 80% of the California dairy herds got infected even though they       immediately restricted cattle movements between farms, and they lost       over 40% of the commercial layer farms because they would not restrict       dairy worker movements off infected farms. By the time that California       was infected they knew that at least 10% of the dairy workers at       infected dairies had been infected, and they knew that they were       shedding infective virus because the first viral culture was created       from samples taken from the first infected dairy worker identified in Texas.              The short answer is that it became a dairy and poultry epidemic in the       US because dairy worker testing and contact tracing was never       implemented and the virus was allowed to spread to more states and more       dairies and poultry farms. The spread continues because states are       being reinfected, and you can go to the GISAID web site and see that       Idaho has now been infected with the California strain of the virus. If       you look at the phylogeny you will see that all the California       infections form a separate clade from the states that got infected from       Texas. Idaho was initially infected by the Texas strain, but the new       infections are due to the California lineage. Nebraska just got       infected by the California virus.              > And how do you explain the cat food claims?

Can't that severel disordered mind grasp this?              I do not know why you keep lying about raw cat food when all the       articles state that the virus infected the cats through raw pet food.              >       > It's not difficult.              It isn't difficult to stop lying, just stop.              >       > The collective is NOT describing any virus that exists in       > nature.

The history of H5N1 that I have given to you in       other posts in this thread reflects just a normal spread of a high path       avian influenza. H5N1 is only one high path lineage. At this time is       happens to be the one that is most infecting humans. There are other       High path and low path avian influenza strains that infect humans from       time to time, but H5N1 has a history of high mortality (50% of those       infected in Europe and Asia have died). The B3.13 and D1.1 genotypes       are reassorted virus so the original H5N1 has recombined with other       avian influenza strains. No one has died from being infected with B3.13       and only one person died out of about a dozen infected with the D1.1       genotype. Two D1.1 survivors did have to go into intensive care, and       one of them was in critical condition at one time, but it looks like the       reassorted virus are less pathogenic than the H5N1 virus that is still       in Europe and Asia.              Ron Okimoto              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
