Highly Pathogenic Bird Flu Cases Detected Across Maryland!

James Kaufman, World News Report, today, January 11, 2025. God bless you and yours, no matter where you are in the world. Please subscribe, give us a thumbs up, ring that bell for critical future updates. Highly pathogenic bird flu cases detected across Maryland. Hey wait, isn't that where the drones have been flying for weeks? On Friday, the Maryland Department of Agriculture revealed that a highly A pathogenic H5N1 avian flu HPAI case was detected in a commercial broiler chicken operation in Caroline County, Maryland. Caroline County, on Maryland's eastern shore, just south of Washington, D.C., is situated in the Delmarva Poultry Industry, one of the largest chicken operations in the United States. It's a multi-billion dollar chicken industry that covers commercial broilers in Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware. What do they mean by highly pathogenic? Well, I had to look it up too. The designation of low or high pathogenic avian influenza refers to the potential for these viruses to kill chickens. The designation of low pathogenic or highly pathogenic does not refer to how infectious the virus may be to humans, other mammals, or other species of birds. Most strains of avian flu are not highly pathogenic and cause few signs of disease in infected wild birds. However, in poultry, some low pathogenic strains can mutate into highly pathogenic avian influenza strains that cause a contagious and severe illness among poultry and sometimes wild birds and often death. Don't go anywhere because this just gets better. The Maryland Farm Bureau posted a biosecurity warning to the Delmarva poultry industry. They posted it on X, showing areas where the HPAI has already been confirmed. And you can see that here on the map, obviously in red. And that is the H5N1 bird flu, HPAI. This is the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service website. It features the Wild Bird Avian Influenza surveillance platform and shows bird flu has become a nationwide headache for commercial broilers and operations over the past few years. The virus seriously threatens poultry operations across the Delmarva area and may force farms to begin culling flocks Devastating farmers livelihoods and the entire industry. We all know that at Gavin Newsom announced a state of emergency for the bird flu in California. Here we go one death lots of vaccines ordered and most hospitals in the U.S. are already masking up fully. God bless.
