What would you expect in a country where “We drink raw milk” is the new “we don’t wear masks”?
I have been trying to get used to pasteurized milk… It’s just not the same man. Give it to me RAW.
What are you, a time traveller from 1859?
What’s been the outcome of the people catching it? Covid was pretty immediate on how people were being hospitalized and eventually dying.
Have we seen cases of humans getting it yet or nah?
Humans getting it? Yes, from farm animals. Humans getting it from other humans? Not yet, but I wouldn’t bet on that staying the case forever.
There are two aspects that make this different from COVID. One is that the mortality rate is much higher: near 50%, whereas COVID was around 1-3%. That’s the bad difference. The good difference is that it’s a flu variant, and we’ve studied flu variants for a very long time. I’ve heard there’s already a vaccine, but I haven’t verified that claim from any reputable health organization.
So if people actually follow health advice from officials, this could be handled much better than COVID. But if they don’t and they get it, it’s a coin flip if they die. And people are already doing things like drinking more raw milk because the CDC has identified the virus as being in raw milk from infected farms, so draw your own conclusions.
it is election time. somewhere. always. so remember which demographic was hit the most during covid…stupid people…leopards ate their faces. good for everyone else.
I get what you’re saying but there are still a lot of good, dumb people. They were manipulated and harmed for someone else’s gain. Of course there are malicious people who yes, I don’t feel bad about. But I don’t think it’s an easy blanket statement that it was good for everyone else
