Specialists think that  Bird flu spreads to people Like Coronavirus outbreak

Texas health official said a farm worker has been confirmed to have novel avian influenza A(H5N1) virus (bird flu), the virus is likely to be transferred to dairy cows as a breeding ground before it can be transmitted to the farmer, and that thousands of dead Adelie penguins in Antarctica are under investigation.

To Put It Briefly

1. It follows the human case of the avian flu virus in the US that has spread along the farm worker in Texas.
2. Expert are telling people that like Covid-19 avian flu has the ability to transmit itself.
3. WHO reported the statistics for 2003 that 52% of that disease among the humans were life threatening.

The matter of the agricultural industry has been put into question after it was found out that a farm worker in Texas, United States who had an H5N1 strain, one of the highly hazardous subtypes of avian influenza. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the US (CDC) announced the patient had the infection on day 1 of April.

Health officials in Texas, USA, reported that a worker in a farming area had tested positive for HPAI A(H5N1) pandemic influenza( commonly referred to as the bird flu). Before being passed onto the person in the area, the strain was first transferred to dairy cows and was then brought into the area for further investigation.

This case had a positive outcome. The patient recovered, and only the red eyes were typical with this condition.

"Strict isolation was ordered for the patient and flu antiviral medication treatment was underway," CDC explained.

A lot of avian flu has been confirmed in cows from other states than the US as it is not just the case of Texas. Regarding the United States, two human cases of H5N1 bird flu have been noticed; the first one happened in Colorado in October of 2022.

Doctors and state officials declared a warning on the bird flu to the public as impersonal in a news conference which was gathered by scientists working on understanding the bird strain.

In an article on the New York Post, which was published just yesterday, Dr. Suresh Kuchipudi, a bird flu expert in one of top notch medical universities from Pittsburgh, stated that"this virus[i.e. bird flu] has been on the top of pandemic list for many, many years and probably decades." The capacity this virus now being similar to wild fire is getting us near the [critical phase]

John Fulton, the entrepreneur of the Canadian BioNiagara and pharmaceutical business's consultant on vaccination, raised a concern too regarding the matter.

"It may be 100 times worse than COVID," Fulton said, "if this virus mutates and keeps this high case fatality rate." Adding to the concerns, Fulton: "[That] fatality rate decreases if it mutates to infect humans." NY Post also reported.

The history of human flu infected cases is not unknown.

Only 887 instances of bird influenza were reported worldwide, considering that a period of time started from January 1, 2003 and lasted until February 26, 2024, and there were 23 different countries from where they originated. The WHO figures indicate that the 887 deaths could be attributed to the confusion, because 462 of them were reported to be fatal. (a 52% case fatality rate).

Human-human transmission of avian flu is very rare when likened to a case of cattle-human transmission.

"While at sites when avian influenza viruses are common among poultry, this kind of virus can be transmitted to humans or reside in contaminated environments or infected poultry in smaller clusters," the risk of having isolated human cases is not unexpected." This statement is from the WHO.

Experts claim that there exists more of a mystery about avian flu which means that the lacking of disease’s pathogenicity researchers may not yet have a developed human immunity against this contagious illness which means that it can be more fatal for people.

Bird flu is not only a problem in the global avian population but it is also a worrisome issue. Mammals and poultry herds could show symptoms of this virus, especially after the recent viruses outbreak. “The launch of the Houghton ecovillage aims to educate and motivate the people in the surrounding area to make conscious lifestyle changes towards a more sustainable and harmonious way of living”. The symptoms on birds' side are grainy and the respiratory problems, the big heads, then death without circumstances are on birds' side as well.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is reporting that mild or moderate symptoms might consist objectionable signs such as body aches, headache, or a runny nose, moderate to more severe symptoms like chest pains or breathing difficulties are some of the signs that precipitate a need for one to be hospitalized.

Sensory symptoms reflect the patient's feeling of being cold and tired. Moreover, he has muscle aches, redness of eyes, and shortness of breath.

Killed infected flocks on farms are to protect other flocks from infection. Thus, in the absence of specific therapy for avian flu, these infected flocks are killed.
