I tend to avoid looking closer at a lot of that stuff I see in the mainstream-media about "bird flu"
First of all, let me remind you - who ever you are - that I am in contact, directly or indirectly, with no person or persons.
On average, if I were to do the math, I am secluded in this small apartment in the city on an average of at least 23.5 hours per day.
I have no contact with any person or persons
I have not had a conversation with any person in years now
At 59 years of age, I can see myself living the rest of my life in this seclusion and will never regret it
I am *trying* to break out of this, though, and to find what *I* want to find
And after 20 years, I am convinced it must be this was all planned for me to exist this way of today
And this pattern in my original-work code-pattern *must be* the reason for the way things are for me now
And that means I *must* work at it
So the big question about this observation today is: Why?
WHY would they deliberately *wait* for a specific day on the calendar to take actions that they deem necessary to protect the health of you all?
To wait, means it needed to be done and yet, they *waited* for a specific - AND LATER - day to take their action
Really, the only reason I am working on this specific topic is because of that last part in the article. Apparently, the editor of the article had to confirm that he has "fingers crossed" for the right reasons.
And the possibility that they are staging their false-drama just to create a market so the supermarkets can charge over $6 for a carton of a dozen eggs, which I am not buying.

Quotes
Maj. Jalbert: Do I have a choice?
Gen. Starkey: No. Apparently none of us do. This 'Project Blue', it's nothing but a souped up version of the flu. Herbert Denninger of the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, the Pentagon's bright boy of the week, says that once we find Campion, we'll only know if it's going to jump to the outside. He says the virus will probably mutate as it passes from person to person, but that's not gonna help the people who catch it.
Maj. Jalbert: Sir, I have information that...
Gen. Starkey: [interrupting] It'll just take 'em longer to die, that's all. Most people are gonna think thay have the plain old non-lethal flu... right up to the very end, and that's the biggest break we've had so far. Now it's loose out there all because a gate malfunctioned and some idiot, glorified TV repairman grabbed his family and ran for the hills.
Maj. Jalbert: Sir, we found him. We located Campion. He crash-landed late last night at a gas station on the outskirts of a one-stoplight town in east Texas.
Gen. Starkey: He made it halfway across the country in only 12 hours? How the hell did he do that?
Maj. Jalbert: I don't know. But right now, we have a shot at containing this.
Gen. Starkey: Is he alive or dead?
Maj. Jalbert: He's dead.
Gen. Starkey: Oh my God. Denninger says that this stuff has a communicability level of 99.4%! You know what that means? Any chance we had at containing by the book went out the window when Campion stopped to buy gas or his first take-out hamburger!

Over 30 years of Hubble Space Telescope imaging the Universe
And most profoundly, documenting the unacknowledged galactic ignorance of the human-race
Stand outside in any major city at night
IF you could then travel straight upwards for about 100 miles and then look straight back where you were standing on the surface
What do you see?
Mostly, just a blob of light
All those details you saw from the ground are completely lost to your sight
You are completely ignorant of similar details in those other blobs of light below you
I hear none of that when images are published from the space-telescopes
And I believe is because no one gets it.
Perhaps, is obvious to you *now* but was never obvious to you before and is obvious now only because you read about it from *me*
You never would have figured it out on your own.
And those morons at NASA such as Bill Nelson don't want you to understand better the reality of this Universe
Why?
BECAUSE it conflicts with the superstition of their ridiculous Jesus Christ fairy-tale myth, important only to those cowards in their terror of mortality.
They are unable to cope with reality and they don't want you to know the truth
Truth they are cowardly terrified of mortality and desperate to fill you with false-hope from a ridiculous fairy-tale.

California declares a state of emergency as a new severe bird flu case was discovered. What it means for the rest of the country
Carolyn Barber
Updated Fri, January 3, 2025 at 3:35 PM PST
Health officials in the most populous state in the country have seen where the bird flu story appears to be heading, and they’re determined to stay ahead of it. Whether the rest of the nation is willing to follow suit remains to be seen.
On the same day that the first severe case of the avian virus in the U.S. was disclosed in Louisiana, halfway across the country, California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency designed to expedite the state’s response to further outbreaks of H5N1, commonly known as bird flu.
Newsom described the measure as “targeted action” to give government agencies the resources they need to respond quickly, particularly in the areas of testing, monitoring and distributing protective gear to at-risk workers.
“While the risk to the public remains low, we will continue to take all necessary steps to prevent the spread of the virus,” the governor added.
The possibility of H5N1’s spread to humans on a large scale has been feared for some time by research experts, but to date, no human-to-human transmission of the virus has been documented. According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 61 people in the U.S. have been confirmed with the virus, most of them either infected via dairy herds or commercial poultry flocks. California has confirmed 34 cases in humans.
The CDC on Wednesday announced that a person in Louisiana had been hospitalized with a severe case of bird flu infection, the first of its kind after other patients experienced mostly mild symptoms. A spokesperson for the Louisiana Department of Health tells Fortune that the patient “is experiencing severe respiratory illness related to H5N1 infection,” and is in critical condition.
According to the spokeswoman, the patient is reported to have underlying medical conditions, and is over 65 years old. The infection is attributed to “a combination of a backyard, non-commercial flock, and wild birds,” she says.
The disclosure of a severe case of H5N1 renewed calls by experts for a dramatic increase in testing and reporting in the U.S. For months, researchers have warned that the bird flu outbreak was going to become a national issue, and they’ve worried that the virus could mutate in ways that eventually make human-to-human transmission possible.
Scott Hensley, a viral immunologist at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, noted that the Louisiana patient was infected with the same H5N1 genotype as a previous patient in British Columbia.
“It is possible that this particular virus has a greater potential to adapt and cause severe disease in humans,” Hensley says. The immunologist says he is “anxiously awaiting the sequence data from the Louisiana patient to see if there are genetic signatures of human adaptation.”
In the meantime, some experts want other states to follow California’s lead.
“Gov. Newsom’s emergency declaration is exactly the right move,” Rick Bright, an international expert on infectious diseases and pandemic preparedness,” tells Fortune. “It will provide greater priority and resources to improve the response to the H5N1 virus that appears to be spreading without much constraint across the state’s dairy farms.”
The emergency declaration should supercharge California’s attempts to contain the spread of the virus. State and local agencies have worked for months to keep the public updated and reach out to farmworkers, including those for whom English isn’t a first language, with tips on how to stay protected and limit potential exposure to H5N1 from commercial herds and flocks.
Newsom’s office said the state has also distributed “millions of pieces” of personal protective equipment, or PPE, to high-risk workers at dairy farms. California officials have documented bird flu in 645 dairy herds—311 dairies in just the last 30 days.
The virus has killed more than 123 million birds in the U.S. since 2022, most of them in commercial poultry operations.
The Louisiana case serves as a reminder of the strong reach of the H5N1 virus—including, Bright says, the ability to mutate. “This virus has changed in ways that are allowing it to be more prevalent in a greater variety of animal species, including mammals,” he says. “The more this virus is present around people, the much higher the risk becomes for human exposure, infection, and severe illness.”
Bright and many other researchers have long sounded the alarm, beseeching the federal government to exert whatever pressure it can on state and local agencies to ask farms to test their workers for virus, take protective measures, and test their flocks or herds. Much of that, though, can only be requested, not demanded.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that it would begin testing the national milk supply. The USDA has issued a federal order requiring that raw, unpasteurized milk be collected and given to the USDA upon request, officials said at a press briefing this week.
All of this makes California’s move on Wednesday more notable. The emergency declaration frees up more funds to provide local agencies with the means to hire additional staff and enter into contracts to expand testing and other resources to farms.
“We need much stronger efforts in terms of reducing the risk of infection between animals to new species and to humans,” Maria Van Kerkhove of the World Health Organization (WHO) said at a conference on global health issues last month. “To do that, we need to protect people who are at risk, people who are exposed.”
Bright is among those who have long worried that the highly pathogenic virus would make the jump to human-to-human transmission, one reason he consistently lobbied for more aggressive testing and reporting of cases when the bird flu was beginning to become widely reported across America’s dairies and chicken farms.
Others are circumspect. “Right now, we certainly don’t have any evidence the virus is getting hotter for humans,” the WHO’s Richard Webby, who studies infectious diseases at the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, tells Fortune. “Fingers crossed [that it won’t].”

Governor Newsom takes proactive action to strengthen robust state response to Bird Flu
What you need to know: Following the spread of Bird Flu in sixteen states, including in California and outside the Central Valley, Governor Newsom proclaimed a State of Emergency today to further enhance the state’s preparedness and accelerate the ongoing cross-agency response efforts.
Sacramento, California – Governor Gavin Newsom today proclaimed a State of Emergency to streamline and expedite the state’s response to Avian influenza A (H5N1), commonly known as “Bird Flu.” This action comes as cases were detected in dairy cows on farms in Southern California, signaling the need to further expand monitoring and build on the coordinated statewide approach to contain and mitigate the spread of the virus. The virus has spread in 16 states among dairy cattle, following its first confirmed detection in Texas and Kansas in March 2024.
To date, no person-to-person spread of Bird Flu has been detected in California and nearly all infected individuals had exposure to infected cattle. California has already established the largest testing and monitoring system in the nation to respond to the outbreak.
This emergency proclamation will provide state and local agencies with additional flexibility around staffing, contracting, and other rules to support California’s evolving response.
“This proclamation is a targeted action to ensure government agencies have the resources and flexibility they need to respond quickly to this outbreak. Building on California’s testing and monitoring system — the largest in the nation — we are committed to further protecting public health, supporting our agriculture industry, and ensuring that Californians have access to accurate, up-to-date information. While the risk to the public remains low, we will continue to take all necessary steps to prevent the spread of this virus.”
Governor Gavin Newsom
Ongoing efforts to prevent spread and serious infection
California has mobilized a comprehensive cross-agency response to Bird Flu in dairy cattle and poultry farms to minimize farm worker exposures, reduce raw dairy product contamination, and mitigate the spread of the virus. The state has enlisted local, state, and federal government technical and operational expertise to support all facets of the response; worked to educate the public, health professionals, employers, and workers on prevention and control measures to reduce the risk of exposure to Bird Flu; provided comprehensive information for employers and workers on personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements; and distributed millions of pieces of PPE to high-risk workers at dairy farms.
Through coordinated public awareness efforts between the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES), and other agencies, the state is leading a cross-agency response that includes timely public updates, multilingual outreach to dairy and poultry workers, targeted social media efforts to promote preventive practices, online and printed resources for the public, and media interviews to keep Californians informed. Additionally, the state is ensuring that agriculture workers have access to additional doses of seasonal flu vaccine from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to reduce concurrent flu risks.
Officials have also been working in close collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and local health and agricultural officials, as part of a whole-of-government effort to coordinate, implement, and ensure timely surveillance and investigation of potential cases of Bird Flu.
Bird flu in the United States
Bird Flu was first detected in the United States in the wild bird population in South Carolina in January 2022, and in the wild bird population in California in July 2022. On March 25, 2024, an outbreak of Bird Flu in dairy cows was first reported in Texas and Kansas, and CDFA took immediate action to monitor for Bird Flu infections in California herds. Since then, there have been 61 total reported confirmed cases of Bird Flu infection in humans across seven states, including 34 reported human cases in California.
On August 30, 2024, following its detection in 13 other states, Bird Flu was confirmed in a dairy cow in Central California, and the California Department of Public Health immediately activated its Medical Health Coordination Center.
