I’m talking about not having monitoring infrastructure in place and mandatory reporting. Trumps been in office not even a week this is totally on biden.
I was referring to bird flu not the price or availability of eggs.
edit - wow, the downvotes. Liberal la la land strikes again. Bird flu has been circulating around american agriculture and it’s workers for quite some time and it’s like the biden admin learned nothing from covid other than trumps policy of pretending nothings wrong. Fucking insane. The DNC shillbots of lemmy world strike again!
You shoved so many “libtard” type buzzwords in your goofy ass comment it’s hard to ever take you seriously even if you were saying something salient.
Just FYI
As an anarchist I think the liberals are a fucking joke and a bad one at that. Liberals can’t fathom a world that exists outside of their narrow red-blue spectrum.
Also I’d love to know what in these specific comments have anything “libtard” about it. The biden admins approach to bird flu was to pretend it essentially didn’t exist but without the right wing level of denial. Whole lot of downplay.
My comments about liberals in general comes from the perspective of a queer woman who has watched the democrats DO NOTHING FOR THE PAST 25 YEARS TO STOP FASCISM AND ARE COMPLACENT AND COMPLICIT IN ITS RISE. take that liberals. How’s vote blue no matter who working for ya??? People like me are now in the crosshairs because liberals rather lose to fascists than upset capitalists.
Not doing enough is not the same as doing nothing.
Look at how much was done on day fucking one of “Trump’s America” and know how much bullshit they were holding back.
Is the party largely corrupt and ineffectual at effecting long-standing change? Sure. But they’re also not actively seeking the destruction of everything “weird” their opponents blame for all things awful that goes on in the world.
The most important thing they haven’t done is stop the conditions that led to trumps rise. Stop trump via the j6 investigation. It’s almost like they’re doing it on purpose at this point.
He could of mandated testing in agriculture, wastewater, contact tracing of agriculture workers, etc. Obama had a whole robust pandemic response planned just in case because bird flu is nothing new and it was always a question of if rather than when but after the politicization of covid biden decided that doing any kind of prep for it is a political third rail which is absolute fucking insanity. I mean the CDC was still pretending covid is droplets and not airborne! Barely any public communication about masking and all about hand washing, and when there was anything about masking it was always useless baggy blue diaper surgical masks that don’t do shit instead of proper fitting n95s that actually work.
They don’t give a shit. The vaccines are profitable, screw cheap physical prevention. Stock line must go up!
I’m talking about current messaging. I knew from day one they were lying through their teeth about it not being airborne and not needing masks.
Oh well. I guess liberals will get to be gleefully blaming trump for bird flu when it inevitably becomes a human pandemic despite the fact that biden was 100% complicit in not stopping its spread.
You know the “day one” messaging was because they didn’t know how exactly it was transmitted in most cases, right? Not because they were intentionally lying.
The paper surgical masks were still better then nothing and there simply weren’t enough n95 masks to go around.
Besides, many people were not being infected from breathing it in. They were infected from droplets being unintentionally spat in their eyes. Eye protection was also recommended, which is probably how I avoided ever catching it.
The surgical masks would still prevent the wearer from spreading it to other people because it would stop spit.
They intentionally lied about the masks to save them for health care workers. They could of messaged wearing cloth masks like the 1918 flu, then surgical as they became available, then n95 as those became available. Why wasn’t there a stockpile? We give trillions to Israel’s genocidal campaigns since it’s founding yet we don’t have a stockpile of basic medical supplies? What a joke of a fucking country. Burn it down and start over.
Everyone knows flu and cold spread airborne and surfaces, why did they only focus on surfaces? It’s a respiratory virus, why not say both? Because you can’t buy anything for airborne. Stock line must go up!
They lied, they did it intentionally, and they broke public trust. When bird flu comes around with likely 10x the death rate if not more we’re gonna be in for some interesting times ahead.
Cloth masks aren’t really any different from surgical masks and people were being advised to make cloth masks, but rarely where they up to spec.
We don’t have stockpiles of anything. That’s not a covid conspiracy. It’s basic capitalism. Why didn’t the government buy up stock piles? Even if they wanted to, the factories that make them were already operating max capacity. Nominal capacity is max capacity. Why? Capitalism.
Spit getting into people’s eyes is how most people were catching covid and there was official advice on wearing eye protection, but people cared more about their faction then health. I remember getting sneered at for wearing safety goggles.
Air Borne was only really a risk indoors. Dilution and UV basically killed the virus quickly outdoor, so as long as you practiced safety distancing, you were fine. Where was the profit in telling people to distance? You can indirectly measure viral saturation indoors with a CO2 monitor. If the room was over crowded or wasn’t getting ventilated properly, the CO2 would go up. Why weren’t they selling CO2 monitors?

Shit homie youre so far left you spew gop talking points and use gop lingo…wait…
“Liberals can’t fathom a world that exists outside of their narrow red-blue spectrum.”
“You sound just like somebody on the red team!”
Hilarious.
Strawman. I fucking hate the fascists and those who led us to them - the liberals.
Both are the party of capitalism, imperialism, endless war, fucking over the poor and working class.

Biden has no more control to limit bird flu then is already happening and neither does Trump.
The point of the post wasn’t to lay the blame of bird flu on Trump, but point out the media manipulation that Fox is doing on behalf of Trump.

You’re a few years out of date on recommended covid practices. Well, there are no covid practices anymore, so maybe not.
