The first case of H5N1 bird flu in Australia has been confirmed. What does this mean?

This is not the moment to call defeat. There is a chance we can stop this infectious virus, this time at least.

Time to start enforcing a quarantine on US military personnel landing in Shannon airport?

Scores Fall Ill at Air Force Base After Hegseth Makes Flu Vaccine Optional

The defense secretary described the vaccine requirement, which he lifted in April, as an “absurd, overreaching” mandate.

At least 222 basic training recruits have contracted the #flu, with some requiring #hospitalization. The #outbreak has been ongoing for roughly 3 weeks.

Recruit Deaths—The #USAF is conducting a comprehensive medical review into the “sudden passing” of 25-yo-trainee Keon McDaniel, who suffered a medical emergency on June 12 & died on June 16.

These dumb 🤬

A major localized #flu #outbreak is currently affecting hundreds of new #MilitaryRecruits at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in Texas. The outbreak began after “Defense” Secretary Pete #Hegseth made flu #vaccines optional in April, causing #vaccination rates to plummet to around 40%.

Germans also don't care that so many people are still being hospitalised from #Covid and the #flu.

Mandating medical face masks in public transit, hospitals, doctors' offices, pharmacies etc. would be an obvious, effective countermeasure. Air filters (which could be combined with AC, see above!) would also help.

Perhaps the best solution would be mandatory vaccinations, but Germans just have a God-given right to share their diseases with others. “Thou shalt infect your neighbour as yourself!”

@JGRW if you've ever read a newspaper printed during the Spanish flu pandemic you'd see how horrifying that situation was. Our military can't be strong and ready if we have epidemics raging through the ranks. The #trump administration is a dangerous disaster #flu #incompetence #republicans #gop #antiscience
