It's so great to have a good administration coming in that will have a good handle on the upcoming 2025 plague! /s

In before Trump pulls a Mao Zedong and declares war on birds.

And to think he was trying so hard to save them from the wind turbines, and this is how they repay him...

[–] Orbituary@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago

Maybe Newsom can see if he can blame this on PG&E then bail them out afterward.

Great and all. But can we get something below a state of emergency. Everything seems to trigger one of those these days. It kinda loses it's meaning when overused.

[–] Poach@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

We need a defcon system for emergencies.

I don't think the impacts of this are being fully realized yet...like the stores here (Sacramento) are low on eggs, the zoos have taken the birds off exhibit, and I live next to a large wildlife preserve that's a huge bird migration path and they just like haven't been there this year. Those giant starling clouds were an annual thing for a week or so and they just didn't happen this year. It really feels like there's a LOT less small birds; the big herons and stuff are still visible, but like walking the preserve is noticeably quieter.

He can start by banning raw milk.

Lol who is downvoting this is one of the steps that must be taken.

You'd think you could deal with a flu outbreak in cattle without a state of fucking emergency. You'd also think that you'd not make claims about a flu humans aren't getting yet as extremely deadly to humans.

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 1 points 13 minutes ago

It's probably a legal thing involving interstate commerce. As the flue is spread also by trucks driving out of bird flue areas into non affected and this can then be regulated

Is it a multi species pandemic yet? I missed 2020-2021 so bad. I loved not being around people.
