California Gov. Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency due to H5N1, more commonly known as avian influenza or bird flu.
The emergency follows an outbreak of the virus among dairy cows in Southern California farms, according to the news release on the governor’s website.
After initially being reported in Texas and Kansas in March, bird flu has been confirmed in cattle across 16 U.S. states, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported.
There have been no cases of human transmission of bird flu in California, the release stated, with all infections linked to exposure to infected cattle.
“This proclamation is a targeted action to ensure government agencies have the resources and flexibility they need to respond quickly to this outbreak,” Newsom said in a statement.
“Building on California’s testing and monitoring system — the largest in the nation — we are committed to further protecting public health, supporting our agriculture industry, and ensuring that Californians have access to accurate, up-to-date information,” he continued.
“While the risk to the public remains low, we will continue to take all necessary steps to prevent the spread of this virus.”
Also on Wednesday, the first case of severe bird flu was confirmed in a human patient in Louisiana, according to the CDC.
The health agency maintains that “the current public health risk is low,” but said it is “watching the situation carefully.”
Marxist Media NEVER tells us about things we need not worry about. If it’s on, you’re supposed to worry about it! It’s designed to make you worry! Experts know how to make you fret.
The Deep State appears to be fishing for the next virus or disease, the next lockdown, the next excuse to shut down society. Is there more poison that needs injecting? Ask the WHO or the CDC.
What then is the intended means to cripple the new administration? It doesn’t matter. As long as Communists (Democrats) still have representation in our government, there will be roadblock after roadblock. It’s how they roll.
Will we recognize the infiltration in time? So far, we’re oblivious! We continue to see our system as a balanced, 2 party arrangement. We’ve assumed both have American intent. Maybe we’re starting to realize, one party seeks total authoritarian control! Their task is Conquest! Their goal is to subjugate us!
Now that we’ve suffered thru the COVID insanity, I’m guessing that, this time, we might tend to resist. Now that we’ve been informed that MOST of the “official” COVID protocol was MADE UP…we might be less likely to OBEY.
