California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency over a bird flu outbreak in California, saying the move would allow the state to “expedite” its efforts to contain the outbreak. The Telegraph has the story.
It comes shortly after an individual in Louisiana was sent to hospital with bird flu, marking the U.S.’s first severe reaction to the H5N1 virus.
California has recorded 32 of the 61 bird flu infections in the U.S., according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
There are no signs that the virus has spread between humans in the state, which would be necessary for a pandemic to start. Currently, all cases have been linked to exposure to cattle or birds.
California officials said the decision to declare the emergency was made after H5N1 was detected in cattle in the south of the state.
Mr. Newsom said on Thursday: “This proclamation is a targeted action to ensure Government agencies have the resources and flexibility they need to respond quickly to this outbreak.
“While the risk to the public remains low, we will continue to take all necessary steps to prevent the spread of this virus.”
California ended its Covid state of emergency in February 2023, having issued it in March 2020.
Earlier on Thursday, Louisiana said an individual had suffered the U.S.’s first severe reaction to the H5N1 virus after being exposed to “sick or dead birds” on their property.
“The patient is experiencing severe respiratory illness related to H5N1 infection and is currently hospitalised in critical condition,” said Emma Herrock, a spokesman for the state health department.

I am far from the litigious type by any stretch of the imagination, but I say, sue ’em for everything they got! Throw the book at ’em. Those who commit such vile crimes against humanity must, at the very least, pay reparations to those they have wronged.
I’ve got mixed feelings about this. UsForThem have been great, and anything that makes the scumbags life more difficult is quite appealing, but my gut tells me that the “inquiry” should not be engaged with as it’s based on a false premise – that there was deadly pandemic or public health emergency. The only kind of inquiry that could possibly work is one in which there were adversarial teams representing different views of covid, who could call witnesses as they saw fit and set their own agenda. Republican senators in the US are doing this, but our “right wing” political party are all virtually communists so they don’t seem interested.
This inquiry has done absolutely nothing right, it appears to have decided its conclusions before even hearing its first witness.
The best course of action would be for all of us to reject its legitimacy and refuse to accept the official verdict that it will conveniently provide. After all, the judge is refusing to hear all sides of the story so we should refuse to listen to her report.
Judges often make their decision based on their initial thoughts, but usually they try to at least pretend they are listening to all the evidence and arguments, but here there does not seem to be even any pretence about it.
How does one assess the crimes that led to and resulted from lockdowns? The fatality rate from clinical malnutrition is …..? and how many globally follow our lead ?
Baroness Hallet Duckwit (forgive the typo but it’s a reference to how she and the KC treated Carl Heneghan should be hung out to dry. (as should the KC)
The purpose of the Inquiry is to find that everything the “Experts” did was correct (and everything Johnson did was wrong).
It will justify the Globalists’ intention to remove control of “pandemics” and anything else they want from our elected Government and place it with the unaccountable WHO/UN.
Apologies for the oft-repeated quote from “Sir Humphrey Appleby”:
Forty years ago this was satire; today it is reality.
I started a petition ‘Stop the current Covid inquiry-waste of time and money’.
It was rejected, turns out there was a petition already:
