Don't worry, we won't bother with a quarantine this time.

when the comm isn't fakenews 
Wait isn’t this news like 2-3 days old? I was really scared for a second, I thought it had gone from human to human. It’s the same guy who caught it from a cow I had already seen.
Still super scary, just not as scary as breaking news about human to human infection.
The CDC announcement came out April 5th, but I think other news stations might have picked up earlier.
I'm also pretty sure this is the first hexbear post about it.
Thought I saw a few posts in the news megathreads a few days ago.
Yeah it was
This is the CDC doing a Friday news dump with the official press release.
H5N1 has an absolutely insane mortality rate. Like if human to human spread ever becomes a thing, that is a true pack what you can and get the fuck out moment. Every time we have animal to human spread it’s just rolling the dice for if a mutation will occur to propel human to human spread. This awful constant gamble that’s genuinely terrifying
Where would even be safe to go at that point
What's the big deal it's not like the general population is potentially immunocompromised or anything.

woah what is this from?
This aged well

headlines you write when when you definitely studied the history of urban pathology
boy if i weren't disassociating 24/7 I would probably be pretty worried rn

Mammal to human 


Chuds are already frothing in the replies, an endless supply of bluecheck manchildren shitting their pants whining


let's light this candle i guess. surely amerikkka will do better on a second round.
Why this always seem to happen in USA?
Large scale factory farming with little regulatory oversight and wretched conditions for both animal and human alike.
?? there have been plenty of h5n1 infections elsewhere
The HAN is Chinese propaganda
Idea for a bit: accusing people who don't want to contract bird flu of being HAN supremacists.
Checks out. Han sounds like a vaguely East Asian name.
Either that, or it's an elaborite advertisement for Star Wars.
It was only a matter of time before a yankee would fuck the wrong chicken.
Or cow, lots of abuse on those factory farms
i bought a couple cases of vegan MREs (they were very affordable) for camping and for my partner to take as backup food when their on the road for months and now i feel like maybe i got the jump on this


news
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
