Mink farms are the perfect petri dishes for deadly flu strains to emerge. Yet officials appear to be protecting business interests over human lives, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Maar gaat u maar rustig slapen, niets aan de hand. Behalve voor boerderijkatten die gemorste rauwe melk op lebberen. Behalve voor de wappen die op aanraden van de 🧠 🪱 rauwe melk drinken vanwege de 'gezondheid'. Behalve voor de gepasteuriseerde melk op de plank waar toch nog levend virus in blijkt te zitten, omdat dit al eerder is geconstateerd toen er nog volop getest werd voordat de 🟠 💩 het overnam. (De ene vorm van pasteurisatie is de andere niet en lab omstandigheden is niet hetzelfde als bulk productie). En kudo's voor Colorado dat ze zijn blijven testen. Veel andere staten niet en je houdt je hart vast wat er allemaal onder de radar blijft. Ook omdat veel werknemers op veebedrijven als de dood zijn dat ze door ICE te grazen worden genomen en zich dus zeker niet zullen melden met ziekteverschijnselen. En oh ja, testen met fretten en kalveren hebben uitgewezen dat het virus ook airborne is. Daar komen we nog mee weg zolang het virus nog niet makkelijk aan de hogere luchtwegcellen hecht. Maar daar is maar een kleine herschikking voor nodig met een regulier griepvirus, waar het seizoen inmiddels ook weer van gaat beginnen en tadaaaa. We are so FUBAR. Om meerdere redenen is alle verkeer met de VS stilleggen nog lang niet zo verkeerd gedacht. En dan maar hopen dat de sh*tshow in eigen land, met een minister van Landbouw die vooral diep voorover buigt voor de boerenlobby van Big Agro niet ook uit de hand gaat lopen. https://afludiary.blogspot.com/2026/10/colorado-reports-1st-h5n1-in-dairy.html #H5N1 #Birdflu #Influenza #Pandemic #Dairy #Vogelgriep #TokkendeTijdbom #Pandemie

"...That perfect petri dish exists right now, a ProPublica investigation found. For over two months, an outbreak of bird flu has raged uncontrolled on a Utah farm that raises thousands of mink for fur. Mink have lungs and airways that on a cellular level are remarkably similar to those of people; they have caught and spread other flus and infected some humans with COVID-19. Instead of trying to stop the outbreak and prevent it from spilling into humans, state and federal officials have done little except try to keep its existence quiet, our investigation shows. ..." #pandemic #birdflu #mink #Utah #publichealth

Bird flu is raging on a Utah mink farm. It could spark a human pandemic, experts say, but officials won’t act.

Federal officials brushed off a bird flu otbreak as Utah prioritized the fur industry’s interests. Little has been done to stop the spread of the virus and ensure it can’t spread to humans, a failure that experts called “irresponsible” and “astounding.”

A dairy farm worker in Washington state has tested positive for H5N1 bird flu after exposure to infected cows, the first human case of the virus in the US this year. Washington health officials say the person is not seriously ill and is isolating at home, and that the risk to the public remains low. The case came a week after the state's first H5N1 detections in dairy cattle, at two farms in Yakima County. Since the virus spilled over into US dairy herds in 2024 it has infected more than 1,000 herds, and there have been at least 72 human cases in the US, almost all after close contact with sick animals. Two people died. Case numbers are thought to be a big undercount: mild cases look like a cold or Covid, and many dairy workers avoid voluntary testing for fear of contact with law enforcement. https://www.yahoo.com/news/science/articles/us-records-first-human-case-142752243.html #H5N1 #BirdFlu #PublicHealth #Washington #Dairy

Invading the globe: Bird flu now threatens Australia and Oceania

Like a dark cloud of pestilence spreading across the globe in a science fiction movie, a highly contagious, fatal strain of avian influenza is continuing its death march across the globe, infecting wild birds, poultry, dairy cattle and mammals from pole-to-pole, sometimes with massive mortalities. In mid-June, it invaded the last bird flu-free continent, Australia, when […]

Utah, where plenty of cow herds were infected with birdflu. The 🧠🪱 does nothing. The CDC is gutted. The USDA is lead by an 🟠💩 puppet. Minks are an excellent reservoir. Spill over in barnyard cats and mice. Hello new pandemic. Since the new regime in the US there are no more measures taken against bird flu. Nothing is done. Nothing is reported, unless like this it is so big it can't stay out of the news. Every traveler from the US could carry the bird flu virus. They should be quarantined upon entering other countries. And only allowed to travel further when after tests they are proven to be birdflu free. https://www.sltrib.com/news/2026/09/27/animal-advocates-raise-alarm-over/ #H5N1 #Birdflu #Vogelgriep #Pandemic

‘Watch them die’: Bird flu is ravaging a Utah mink farm, killing 80% of the herd. State agriculture officials have no clear plan.

It’s the first documented outbreak of bird flu in captive mink in the U.S., and an advocacy group is raising concerns about Utah’s response.

H5N1 bird flu jumps to marine mammals and wildlife in Australia

H5N1 avian influenza is spreading rapidly across southeastern Australia owing to infected wild bird species, including little penguins, magpies, crested terns and pelicans. Bird aggregations during breeding seasons will likely accelerate transmission to mammals, said Victoria’s chief biodiversity officer James Todd. In late August, H5N1 jumped to a mammal, a red fox (Vulpes vulpes), in […]

#SouthAustralian authorities say they have five new suspected events of #birdflu in the state, including a red fox in #Osborne in metropolitan #Adelaide. SA's Department of Primary Industries and Regions (PIRSA) included the fox in its latest bird flu update that detailed five new suspected bird flu "events". Samples have been sent to a national testing facility in Geelong for confirmation. #auspol #avianinfluenza #mammals

Suspected bird flu infection in fox sparks fears of 'long-distance' spread

#extinction #Australia #BirdFlu #SeaLions "Bird Flu at Seal Bay Threatens Australian Sea Lions With Extinction-Level Breeding Failure H5N1 terns confirmed at Kangaroo Island colony; same seal-to-seal pathway killed 95% in Argentina Five infected terns found at Kangaroo Island's Seal Bay — home to roughly 5% of the global population of a species found nowhere else on Earth — have pushed Australia's endangered Australian sea lion to the edge of a catastrophe that wildlife scientists say has no known response once it begins. Federal authorities confirmed 54 cases of H5N1 bird flu in wild seabirds across mainland Australia as of 9am AEST on August 2, 2026, a figure that nearly tripled in under 24 hours — and the virus is now carrying the specific biological pathway that killed an estimated 95% of elephant seal pups along a 124-mile (200 km) stretch of Argentine coastline in 2023, with no birds required.”

Bird Flu at Seal Bay Threatens Australian Sea Lions With Extinction-Level Breeding Failure

H5N1 bird flu confirmed in wild seabirds at Kangaroo Island’s Seal Bay puts Australia’s endangered Australian sea lion — found nowhere else on Earth and already down more than 60% in four decades — at extinction-level risk, as experts warn the mammal-to-mammal transmission pathway that killed 95%

Peru’s only penguin species at risk from upcoming El Niño and bird flu, experts warn

SAN JUAN DE MARCONA, Peru — First, there was the H5N1 avian influenza of 2022, then El Niño arrived in 2023, disrupting coastal waters and fish availability. For Peru’s Humboldt penguins, the only species of penguins that breeds in the country, the burden was too heavy: Its population dropped by two-thirds between 2022 and 2025. […]
