Significant health news from #DrEricFeiglDing

H5N1 bird flu was confirmed in a pig on a backyard farm in #Oregon, the first detection of the virus in swine in the US. Pigs represent a particular concern for the spread of bird flu because they can become **co-infected with bird and human viruses**, which could swap genes to form a new, more dangerous virus that can more easily infect humans.

First-ever known US case of bird flu found in a pig in Central Oregon farm

At least one of five pigs at a Crook County farm tested positive for avian influenza. U.S. Department of Agriculture officials say there is no concern about the safety of the nation’s pork supply.

I try to stay focused on eliminating misinformation about many things, however it really troubles me when I see people diminishing the impacts of #COVID19. This illness is proving to increase the risk of dementia and alzheimer's while decreasing heart and lung function. It's not just a summer cold!

Here's some information from #DrEricFeiglDing regarding the current surge because...

Meanwhile in #Airborne #Disease news, #DrEricFeiglDing has posted concerning information about MERS #Coronavirus transmission.

It's almost like the pharmaceutical industry creates their own "supply and demand" laws. Oh wait, they do! Greedy bastards!!

What kinda crap (no pun intended) is the #CDC pulling now? People are still spreading #COVID19 and the CDC has decided to cut #BiobotAnalytics funding! This is the only reliable source for tracking any outbreaks. Now everyone is more vulnerable to disease besides #COVID 🤦‍♂️🩺🤯

Since #DrEricFeiglDing is still an important source of #COVID19 information for me, I still keep an eye on his feed over on the #BirdApp This is not #SARS_COV_2 related, yet I felt it was too important to not share. Plus it's the damn truth!💯

I have been passing information along from #DrEricFeiglDing and #DrEricTopol amongst others for months regarding #COVID19 that its not over despite our best "wantitis" and wish casting - while making the same damn mistakes!🙄

COVID levels are so high, they’re hovering near 2020’s initial peak, as the WHO urges those at high risk to take any booster they can get their hands on

It’s yet another sign that while the official pandemic state may be over, the days of COVID are far from it.

@Turntwo363 I left the dodobird site months ago, and I too wish #DrEricFeiglDing would join the #fediverse...

The #UnitedStates and the world continues to make the same mistake over and over again, expecting a different result. Better known as INSANITY!🤷‍♂️

#DrEricFeiglDing is not pulling any punches. FWIW, I wish he would post this on the #Fediverse...

When will we get it?? #FLOTUS Dr. Jill Biden tests positive for #COVID19. I believe this is her 2nd time. After contracting #COVID THREE times, your system is 50% more vulnerable to long term health issues and your heart and lung functions diminish.

In 5 years we will see how our disregard for our family, friends and community has changed everything - again.

BTW, ans: Never!

As #DrEricFeiglDing says, and I agree, #CovidIsNotOver
