Avian influenza detected in California raw milk confirms what we’ve feared. Cross-species spread is advancing. The virus has found new entry points into mammalian systems. This isn’t isolated, it’s evolution in action, and the implications are catastrophic.

DJ...H5 types of flu are very widespread in lots of species-mixing with all kinds of other flu-types...My non-expert view is CoViD immunity damage opened the door to Mpox, H5...
Flu is "just a starter"....soon we may face diseases we never expected to become a risk for humans....

The wrong idea is vaccinating farm workers would do much to stop the spread&mix of H5-flu....Over time H5N1 did evolve towards better spreading in lots of hosts...(because viruses need hosts for reproduction-the more species/hosts the better for the virus...). 

"Politics/strategies" keep running behind realities....the longer one waits the more radical strategies have to become to be of any use. Non Pharma Interventions (masks eye protection), decrease farm animals, as good as stop on travel...Just like climate collapse stopping pandemics has to be a global priority...

https://cop29.az/en/conference/what-is-cop29 was an insulting "joke" on climate...(the "rest" of the world will now compensate climate damage by making "the rich" pay a very high price for energy...). Learning the hard way in pandemics will be a very hard way...If the "mild" Spanish Flu killed 5% of the global population-in todays global 8,2 billion population that 5%=400 million+ deaths....

What we are facing-linked to CoViD-19, may have already hundreds of millions of people dealing with Long CoViD....other diseases (like flu) on top of it may kill billions of people...(Just like climate collapse can end humans/life...). 

If you fail to take risks seriously there is a price...Hope to be very wrong as always !
