CDC reports first human H5 bird flu infection in U.S.
Stat ^ | 4/29/22 | By Helen Branswel

Posted on 04/29/2022 12:19:43 PM PDT by EBH

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced late Thursday that a person in Colorado has tested positive for an H5 bird flu virus — the first such recorded infection in the United States.

The CDC did not reveal the neuraminidase subtype of the virus — the N portion of an influenza A virus’ name. The country is currently experiencing an unprecedented outbreak of H5N1 bird flu in both wild birds and in commercial poultry flocks.

The man, described by Colorado health officials as being younger than 40 years old, experienced only fatigue; he is now in isolation and being treated with the flu antiviral oseltamivir. A statement from Colorado’s Department of Public Health and Environment said he is incarcerated at a state correctional facility and was culling poultry as part of a pre-release employment program. The CDC described the poultry outbreak as presumptively having been caused by H5N1.

They’re giving him Tamiflu.

If that works, then there shouldn’t be a problem, should there...

Tamiflu is the brand-name form of oseltamivir.

This drug is also available as a generic medication.

I had H1N1 when that was a thing.

Tamiflu didn’t do much for me. I thought I was going to die.

Is CDC preparing yet another fake “pandemic” to help Dems steal the elections again?

Stop feeding the birds, bring in the bird bath, and hide under your bed for the rest of your life.

“Here we go again.”

Back in 2008/9 they wanted to set up roadblocks and testing stations for the flu. Very much like what they later did for Covid.

Now that it’s been done once and that they know the irrational fear so many people have of germs that allows people to agree to giving up rights and freedom, they will “go again” if we cannot stop them.

I had something in 2010 and I was actually scared.
First time ever for an illness.
I was in outstanding shape, but I got a chest illness.
I could only walk about 15 or so steps and had to lean over to catch my breath. No mucus, just super tight lungs and hard to breathe. My pulse would also rise real high when walking...

Lockdowns were a negative. Meta study says they barely helped anyone, and tons of issues. Relapses, OD, suicide, financial destruction, domestic abuse, stunted child development, missed graduations, proms, weddings, funerals, no doctor visits so no early detection, numerous mental health issues, and a slew of new alcoholics and drug addicts.
