CDC confirms H5N1 Bird Flu Infection in a Child in California
  • First reported infection in a child in the USA. The question becomes how was it transmitted. Assuming the child is not exposed to infected poultry, then another vector must be responsible. The real danger is the mutation of the virus into a human to human transmissible strain. If an effective vaccine can't be manufactured quickly, many deaths are possible. Now, I see in your previous comments that you say we have been living with viruses for thousands of years. That is true but that shouldn't stop us from protecting ourselves. The deaths may be just a statistic to you but every death is a tragedy for someone.

  • I don't get it. I'm a nice guy, I eat well, I work out, but I can never get a date. All Zeus has to do is turn into a swan and the ladies are all over him.
  • I remember reading a fantasy book and there was a large pantheon of gods. These two characters were on a journey and they both worshipped this one god. One night, a goddess appeared to them for some reason to warn them about something but she didn't reveal herself. Her very aura caused them to realize who she was and fall in love with her and promise to worship her forever. She told them she couldn't accept their fealty because as soon as she left they would regret their decision. Now, of course I know Zeus isn't real but I wonder if ancient people believed a god's very presence could override reason.

  • Anyone know how to block Amazon Rufus on Firefox desktop?

    This thing just started popping up and I hate it. Edit - added picture of offending box.

    What is in those Delectable treats that is so addicting?

    Meet Seamus.

    I don't understand what is in those Hartz (I know) Delectables Bisque treats that make my cat crazy. At first I thought it might be the tuna, but I tried just the chicken recipe and he still scarfs them down. They are just so expensive. I tried pureeing a can of Fancy Feast Kitten Ocean Whitefish pate because I have about 15 cans left over from his tiny kitten days. Turned his nose up at it. I even warmed it in the microwave for a few seconds. All the package says is water, chicken, natural flavor, tapioca starch, guar gum, annatto extract color, carmine color. Obviously, the tuna ones have tuna instead of chicken. What could possibly be in there? Anyone have success with some other substitute? I know there are other brands but those are even more expensive. Thanks.

    Are there any communities like r/Excel on Lemmy? I searched but all I saw were Linuxmemes and Technology.

    How do you cope with the state of the world today?

    Everything just seems so out of control. The US seems to be tearing itself apart. The world is on fire. We seem to be going backwards when it comes to freedom and human rights. We've turned our backs on each other. How do you cope with all this without just giving up?

    Just got my tax bill yesterday.

    So, I just got my tax bill yesterday. It is just for my car as I don't own anything else. It isn't outrageous but I can't imagine what it must be like for other people in the state. Whatever happened to the push to eliminate car taxes?
