Experts warn of bird flu’s pandemic threat

The threat of bird flu causing a potential pandemic has health experts on high alert, as the virus continues to mutate and spread among animals and humans. Since October 2021, over 300 million poultry birds have been killed or culled due to bird flu, with wild birds also being affected across 79 countries. Additionally, cases of bird flu have been reported in dairy cows in the United States, marking a concerning new phase for the virus.

Despite the current low risk to the general public, the possibility of bird flu evolving to become more transmissible to humans is a major concern. Recent research has shown that the version of bird flu infecting US cows is just one mutation away from being able to spread more effectively among humans. This development has raised alarms among experts, as the virus could potentially become a new pandemic threat.

While there are still barriers preventing H5N1 from easily spreading among humans, the risk remains significant. The more animals and species the virus infects, the greater the likelihood of it adapting to better infect humans. If a bird flu pandemic were to occur, it could have severe consequences due to the lack of immunity in humans.

Health experts have emphasized the importance of ramping up testing and information sharing to prevent a worst-case scenario. The US Department of Agriculture has announced plans to test the country’s milk supply for bird flu, as raw milk has been found to be contaminated with the virus. It is crucial to avoid consuming raw milk, as it poses a significant health risk.

In conclusion, the threat of bird flu evolving into a pandemic is a looming concern that requires vigilance and proactive measures to prevent its spread. The potential consequences of a bird flu pandemic are severe, and it is essential to prioritize public health and safety in addressing this threat.
