It has, over the past few years, adapted to spread from birds to mammals more effectively, but so far does not seem to be transmitted from one mammal to another more easily. The fear with finding large numbers of herbivores (who don’t eat dead birds) positive is, I suppose, that this could signify further genetic changes. Not saying this is definately the case, but it is still an important development and it’s good that people are taking this seriously. Furthermore, humans have a lot more contact with farm animals than wild predators, so zoonosis is probably more likely to occur from one of these animals than like… a sea lion.
Just to be clear, I’m not saying we should panic - the fact the animals are not too sick is good to hear - we just don’t want to be caught with our trousers down (again).
Yes, it has infected plenty of mammals. It has caused mass die offs in aquatic mamals in South America and has spread through a mink farm in Europe. But no, it does not appear to have adapted to transmit more easily between humans yet.
With live ammunition!
Regardless of your political views… The fact you can watch civilians being blown up and be like “justice” is pretty raw dude. I think you need to have a think about how you relate to the world… and other humans.

Christ. New horrors beyond my imagination.
Still, my point stands that there are already risks to animal agriculture. Tasmanian devil cancers don’t make this a no go IMO.
(I am aware that’s not what you are suggesting)
I disagree with that statement generally, but anyway, you can’t catch cancer. You can catch a disease that causes cancer, but eating cancer itself wouldn’t give you cancer. You can however catch prion disease… And these can live in real flesh/meat you get from a shop.
Also, there will be ground up cancer in processed meat. I guarantee it. You don’t think farm animals get cancer?
Lol, I’m not keen on those who go out the way to act like venemous little toads.
Urp yurz.
Fucking hate spelling Nazis on Lemmy. As a dyslexic person, it makes me slightly hate commenting.
Is there any way to build a library for a NAS without illegally downloading it?
