Okay this is really fucking big news. Next big pandemic here. And turns out that America didn't learn anything from Covid because they are trying to downplay it, dragging their feet on containing it and are internationally trying to ignore the problem. For one, despite pigs having similar immune systems to humans and often housed next to cows, they are internationally not mass testing pigs. Also, while it's not very lethal in cows, it's lethal to a whole bunch of other mammals and there's confirmed widespread cows to other species spread. And with how much cows interact with humans, it's really just a matter of time until human to human transmission becomes a thing. Hopefully it's limited to just America once it breaks out.
Also it's obvious to see why America is dragging their feet. This could wide out their entire livestock industry at this point, pigs, cows and chickens alike if they were forced to take serious action to contain it. At this point, short of torching the entire American livestock industry, it's basically guaranteed to have human 2 human transmission within a couple of months/years. We just have to hope that just like COVID and how the cows are reacting, that it isn't too lethal when it completely jumps over to us.
