I find it worth noting that, as opposed to COVID, this time around it’s affecting rural parts of the US first, instead of urban areas. It’s the rural areas that, generally, didn’t take COVID seriously.
I wonder if this time around they’re going to stick to their guns about how simple protective measures somehow infringe on their freedumbs, or if a little prudence will suddenly become “the American Way.”
I imagine that the conspiracy theories about the Biden administration deliberately infecting cows with H5N1 over 5G networks have already started.
Maybe don’t associate people who work with livestock with the actual livestock?
Sheep are culled.
Let’s not make such implications.
Also, it’s not their fault that their employers are not giving them the necessary protective gear.
“Sheeple” by definition means people. It’s an extremely common term. Are you trying to make a joke here? If so I missed it.
Trump’s plan to let the previous pandemic virus work its way through the population was a culling, of the worker class, so long as the elite class remained on their private yachts away from it all then the virus could just sweep through the population unchecked with no need for monetary aid to try to mitigate its ravages, i.e. bUt ThE eCoNoMy ThO. And it was very “successful” too, killing off more people than all wars combined iirc, and primarily affecting those at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder, yet leaving the billionaire class mostly untouched.
I have no idea where you got “people who work with livestock” from - OP was talking about conservatives here, e.g. “It’s the rural areas that, generally, didn’t take COVID seriously” means like governors of those states and people who vote for them, made all the more obvious by statements such as the last sentence “I imagine that the conspiracy theories about the Biden administration deliberately infecting cows with H5N1 over 5G networks have already started.” Can you explain how you translated this into “people who work with livestock”?
Anyway yes, the people who work with livestock probably do need protective gear now that the threat is becoming apparent. I went off on an attempt at a deep dive trying to find out how widespread use of PPP is for poultry workers where the threat has already been known since long ago but I am no expect there so figured I’d leave it for someone who truly knows to speak.
From the headline and article?
“Dairy worker bird flu case shows need for protective gear, US CDC study shows”
