So...H5N1 (Bird Flu) is here

And all signs are pointing to a global pandemic more fatal than the one prior. The initial stages of this are a rinse and repeat of Covid-19's arrival, which saw a lot of state repression of information on the severity of infection rates and delayed enforcement of safety protocols.

Earlier this year, the U.S. saw its first death of an animal-to-human transmission of H5N1 in Louisiana; however with the rollback of safety and health federal regulations in the wake of the returning Trump administration, compounded by an executive-mandated communications blackout of the FDA, CDC and withdrawal from the WHO, conditions are ideal for a nightmarish outbreak scenario should transmissions evolve to human-to-human.

The following are reports coming from the U.K., U.S., and China in the last couple of days:

This is a CDC report from 2 weeks ago:

"As of January 6, 2025, there have been 66 confirmed human cases of H5N1 bird flu in the United States since 2024 and 67 since 2022. This is the first person in the United States who has died as a result of an H5 infection. Outside the United States, more than 950 cases of H5N1 bird flu have been reported to the World Health Organization; about half of those have resulted in death."

As of right now, I would highly implore everyone to cease the consumption of eggs and poultry products for the time being. There is currently an egg shortage due to "quality standards" in the U.S. and prices have already gone up dramatically. Get involved in community gardens and get in contact with local farmers--see what you can get directly from there! Mask up, update your vaccinations, practice proper hygiene, avoid physical contact with wild animals (birds especially), and stay safe! Look after your neighbors!

UPDATE: Weekend of 1/24 - 1/26/2025

Related: As of 1/26/25

- Kansas, USA is experiencing its highest record cases of tuberculosis in its entire history!

- New case of Polio recorded in Afghanistan

- India saw its first death in 101 confirmed cases of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (16 people are on ventilators)

A warmer planet is only going to exacerbate the spread of diseases worldwide moving forward. Mask up!

new ask meme: RANDY YOUR STICKS, but personalized

like send me an ask that says “(MY NAME) YOUR (BLANK)”

When gas disappears… we invent fire.

In Gaza, where war stole everything from us — even our gas cylinders — we refused to freeze or give up.

With nothing but scrap metal, old car oil, and computer fans, people here built handmade burners to cook, boil water, and survive.

We turned trash into life. We turned despair into invention. This is how we fight for existence every single day.

We don't just survive — we create.🔥🛠️💔

Reblog. Raise awareness. Let the world see our resilience.

As for me… I’m Kareman, a mother in Gaza.

I’m doing my best to protect and care for my son, Hammoud, in the middle of this war.

Thanks to a kind friend’s donation, I was able to bring a little light into my child’s life — food, warmth, and a smile.

The photo below is my son smiling next to the food we managed to buy.

That smile is a rare treasure in the middle of fear, displacement, and hunger.😭🫶❤️

If you’re reading this, please… don’t let this be the last smile I see on his face.🙏
