X31Andy , 2 months ago @arstechnica It is concerning that the H5N1 has spread to multiple herds of cattle around several states in a few weeks. The really worrying part of this story is how it spread from the cattle to the cats in about a week killing 50% of the poor things. Several dairy workers also appear to have caught it too. At this rate of spread and across mammals it could make the COVID outbreak look tame. Time to start stockpiling again? #H5N1 #covid
