They say no evidence it has mutated to a point that it could transfer from human to human.

The latest severe human case showed that it has mutated but still not to the point that it’s human to human. It will probably make the jump at some point.

There’s far too many of us humans on this big ball hurling through space. Something is eventually going to thin the herd. Whether it’s one big event or a series of smaller events is yet to be seen. Worrying about it is not going to prevent the inevitable.

Yesterday I was Duck and Goose hunting at White Lake WCA south of Crowley in LA. We had a tough morning because it was so foggy and couldn’t even see birds we could hear right above us. Only managed to get one duck and one goose. When the Consevation Officer picked us up he asked if we had to put the goose down or saw any sick ones. We told him no. He said they had had to put down a lot this year due to bird flu. After the fog lifted we could see thousands upon thousands of geese. Just thought it was interesting considering the domestic outbreaks as well.

That’s where the domestic poultry outbreaks are coming from. Wild birds are the carriers and even other animals. Several of the human cases are from dairy workers because the cows are carriers of bird flu.

It’s obviously more than they normally see according to the CO.

I have seen at least 100 dead or sick/unable to fly geese over the past month scattered around in NW MS.

I anxiously await all the white males who think white males are the problem to rid the world of their scourge. I await the same from the people who think human populations are the problem with the earth. They all just seem to think they’re the exception to those “problems”.

There are not too many of us. We will occasionally have catastrophes that range from minor (Covid) to major (a much more serious pandemic or asteroid strike or whatever).

I am curious as to whether Covid was an opportunity for us to learn to not make things worse by overreacting, or whether it’s just an indication of how much worse we are going to make things if we face a more serious pandemic.

Hell naw. Of the small list of things I worry about, bird flu is somewhere below COVID and zipping my pecker up in my zipper.

Have you driven a car lately? Have you been to a grocery store lately. Have you been to the beach lately? There is absolutely too many of us. I'm pretty sure that god is gonna start with Ole Miss fans and left lane drivers!

You realize there are places all over Mississippi where there are less than ten people living in a sq mile?

Yes, if you go where a lot of people are, there will be a lot of people. But there are plenty of places you can love without many people, and you don’t have to go to the desert or somewhere inhospitable. But you do have to be willing to love without the conveniences that come with dense population, which most people aren’t willing to do.
