Dairy cattle in Texas and Kansas test positive for bird flu

2. This is so bad on many levels.

Cows recover, so it’s not a problem, right? Wrong.

First, if we have herds of cattle catching it, we have a huge new reservoir for this crap where birds and other animals can contract it.

Also, dead birds were found near the sick cattle. That means that we are likely looking at another huge year for wild bird deaths.

While some other species have caught it previously, we had not seen any major new jumps. We now see cattle affected in larger numbers, not just an off-case. We have also seen it in a goat, which may not bode well.
