Comment on U.S. withdrawal from WHO could bring tragedy at home and abroad
BananaTrifleViolin@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoAnd it’s looking increasingly likely the Bird Flu pandemic will move into humans. The US has already been lax on dealing with outbreaks in cattle. Trump has neutered the CDC and withdrawn from WHO.
The US is creating perfect conditions for a bird flu outbreak to originate in the US itself. It will he potluck how severe it is when it transfers into humans. Certainly the response will be hampered thanks to Trumps political choices so they won’t be able to contain it (which was already a low chance) but worse they have probably created conditions to accelerate its spread. It’ll likely spread further and faster than it would have done, affecting more people before vaccines can be made ready.
Trump Flu is coming.

I like this name. As soon as it turns into an epidemic in humans, we need to collectively call it Trump flu.
