The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian flu in an Indiana turkey flock on Wednesday, the nation’s first case in a commercial poultry operation since 2020.

The outbreak brought swift reaction from importers seeking to limit the spread of the bird flu. China and Korea blocked non-heated poultry meat from Indiana, while Taiwan restricted poultry meat and egg products from the state, the USDA said on its website.

Indiana said the strain of the virus was H5N1 and it was the state’s first case of highly pathogenic bird flu in commercial poultry since 2016, when 400,000 birds were killed. The H5N1 strain has also been found in wild birds along the U.S. East Coast and has caused a wave of outbreaks in poultry across Europe and Asia.

Currently, HPAI Asian H5N1 virus does not transmit efficiently from person to person. Some cases of limited, non-sustained human-to-human transmission have likely occurred.

Currently on the CDC site is this about HN51, but I wonder how long before they change it to something more frightening or the 'science' people in Chiner(as Trump would say) readjust it in a more weaponized form. Of course if all it does is decimate Americas poultry industry our enemies, foreign and domestic will be quite pleased.

Regardless of whether it can infect humans, (or whether, in fact, an anti-human bioweapon is being or has been developed) I think the Media will do their best to foment panic in any way they can.

Even scare buying of poultry products, further exacerbating the inflationary pressure on the average household and making supply chain issues worse would serve CCP goals.

Samples were sent to Wuhan, China, for further "evaluation".

And this is I think the whole reason behind it, take the last reasonably priced item out of American's kitchens. Beef is soaring as is pork so now the hammer is being dropped on chicken, could it be that our masters(so they believe) in Washington are hoping to drive Americans to seek more 'help' from those that created the problem to begin with?
