DoomsdaysCWOh, this isn't good... At all! Visited the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaineCDC" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#MaineCDC</a> website, and most of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Covid19" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Covid19</a> links are DEAD! And the site from the referring link seems to have security issues? YIKES! Dr <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NiravShah" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#NiravShah</a>, formerly of the Maine CDC, now Deputy Director of the CDC, has been FIRED! (I wish he hadn't left <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Maine</a>.

The CDC is investigating the outbreak along with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment."This made the use of personal protective equipment (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PPE" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#PPE</a>) a challenge, Shah said."In addition, to bring down temperatures in the sweltering barns, large industrial fans were blowing, moving air as well as dust and feathers. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Feathers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Feathers</a> from infected birds are known to carry the H5N1 virus.“'We understand those large fans … were moving so much air … the workers were finding it hard to maintain a good seal or a good fit either between the mask or with eye protection,' Shah said."Four of the Colorado cases have been confirmed by the CDC. A fifth tested positive at a state lab and has been sent to the CDC for confirmation."The incident has quickly doubled the number of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FarmWorkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FarmWorkers</a> known to be infected with H5N1 virus in the United States, and it is the largest number of workers known to be infected in connection with a single farm."In 2022, a poultry worker tested positive for H5N1 in Colorado. This year, four other farm workers have tested positive — one in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Texas" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Texas</a>, two in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Michigan" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Michigan</a> and another in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Colorado" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Colorado</a> — after working with infected <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DairyCattle" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#DairyCattle</a>. Cases are believed to be undercounted because farm workers are often reluctant to be tested for fear of losing work and income."Read more: <a href="https://www.accuweather.com/en/health-wellness/colorado-bird-flu-cases-show-how-extreme-heat-may-be-complicating-efforts-to-control-the-virus/1670143" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.accuweather.com/en/health-wellness/colorado-bird-flu-cases-show-how-extreme-heat-may-be-complicating-efforts-to-control-the-virus/1670143</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MigrantWorkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#MigrantWorkers</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ClimateChange</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ClimateCrisis</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BirdFlu" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BirdFlu</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectFarmWorkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ProtectFarmWorkers</a>
