We need to be expanding biosafety measures, biosecurity measures and trying to control where the virus is.”</p><p>The finding—that the virus is “everywhere”—fits with what has been seen in previously published work, says Richard Webby, who studies host-microbe interactions at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “It’s a ridiculously contaminated environment,” Webby says. </p><p>So far no human-adapted mutation has taken off, but "with so much virus on affected farms, there’s a chance that future human-oriented mutations could arise" </p><p>We don't need another pandemic while malicious, anti-science lunatics are in charge of U.S. public health. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/H5N1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>H5N1</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/HPAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HPAI</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BirdFlu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BirdFlu</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/dairy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dairy</span></a><br><a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/bird-flu-could-be-spreading-through-the-air-on-dairy-farms-preliminary-study/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">scientificamerican.com/article</span><span class="invisible">/bird-flu-could-be-spreading-through-the-air-on-dairy-farms-preliminary-study/</span></a></p>
