I caught it in a biased rerun dated today on a lefty site pushing climate hysteria and traced the source.
Tag this 'H5N1 surveillance' for obvious reasons (i.e., “could mean it becomes a mammalian-adapted virus, and consequently increases risk for humans too” with a little 'help').
[[“He said he saw about 20 dead elephant seals. Emotionally it is almost heartbreaking to see so many dead seals.”]]
What do you feel about the 55 million baby corpses that never got a chance to experience life Marco?
H5N1 has been around. I think around 100 or so people have died from it…
FauXi, the NIH and the WHO must have released their new designer plandemic virus in Antarctica.
In other news, every human on Earth has more bacterial and viruses in their gut than cells in their body. We live in the soup, are part of the soup, and will die in the soup.
Some alarmists should just be shot in the face.
More fear porn being served up in time for the elections.
I should be ok, I won’t be hanging around any sub-arctic seals.

(From the article):" A virology team has confirmed the first bird flu infections in elephant and fur seals in the sub-Antarctic region,
as the highly contagious H5N1 virus continues to spread around the world."
"Researchers previously reported the mass deaths of seals and that a number of elephant seals on South Georgia island
– a UK overseas territory in the southern Atlantic Ocean
– had been exhibiting symptoms of avian flu.
But while seabird cases were confirmed, the seal infections were classed as suspected, pending lab results."
"The first known cases of H5N1 were detected in the Antarctic region in October among brown skua on Bird Island, off South Georgia.
Two months later, hundreds of elephant seals were found dead.
There have also been increased deaths of fur seals, kelp gulls and brown skua at several other sites."
"Marco Falchieri, a scientist in the UK Animal and Plant Health Agency’s (APHA) influenza and avian virology team,
which collected the South Georgia samples that tested positive for bird flu.
He said he saw about 20 dead elephant seals.
“Emotionally it is almost heartbreaking to see so many dead seals.”
"Other seals were showing respiratory signs of bird flu, he said, citing “coughs, sneezing, ocular discharge, nasal discharge, slow head shaking and tremors”.
"Falchieri said the death toll on South Georgia was probably about 100,
mainly elephant seals, who appear to be more affected than fur seals. "
