americans are the filthy plague rats of humanity. Can only hope this disgusting and unhygienic people doesn't spread it all over the globe.

Not to worry, if this gets out of hand, the ruling class and corporate media will find a way to pin it on China.

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

“ Globally, from 1 January 2003 to 26 February 2024, 887 cases of human infection with avian influenza A(H5N1) virus were reported from 23 countries. Of these 887 cases, 462 were fatal (CFR of 52%)”

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.

[-] daedramachine@hexbear.net 23 points 5 months ago

Thought I saw a few posts in the news megathreads a few days ago.

Large scale factory farming with little regulatory oversight and wretched conditions for both animal and human alike.

The HAN is Chinese propaganda

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 30 points 5 months ago

Idea for a bit: accusing people who don't want to contract bird flu of being HAN supremacists.

[-] refurbishedrefurbisher 13 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Checks out. Han sounds like a vaguely East Asian name.

Either that, or it's an elaborite advertisement for Star Wars.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- 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 not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
