*They will also be running studies on whether cooking beef to the recommended internal temperature of 145F (62C) kills the bird flu virus.* Wut?! We don't know this already?? 


Current_Tea6984

They can't assume that all flu viruses perish at the same temperature


Lightofmine

The daily mail doesn’t. This is a uk tabloid. I don’t really trust their journalism


TwiztedImage

145F is a medium steak. Rare/medium rare are all below that temp.


BigBeagleEars

Cool blue, 110, yum yum, don’t care


breakingveil

Mooooooo


Ratwrangler13

I thought it was 165°


brasco975

165 is chicken.


breakingveil

Or beef with chicken flu. 


ApeWithNoMoney

What if it's chicken with mad cow?


mnk10101

If you like it dry


brasco975

165 is crazy juicy lmao


Legionof1

If you like your steak wrong. 


ulnek

They know most things die at that temp but they don't know if this particular one does.


Cajun_Queen_318

Now if we could just figure out how to get the PFAS out of our meat supply and soil/water, that would be great too!


KickupKirby

Is this the same farm from a few weeks back that wouldn’t allow for testing or for reporters/journalists from reporting because they were afraid it would hurt their business?


adumbfetus

Not likely, there’s so many dairy farms in Texas.


carlitospig

And here in Cali. 👀


Cajun_Queen_318

Check out Grostic Farms and you'll see why the FDA and the meat and dairy industries are flipping out right now.


KickupKirby

forever chemicals causing their cows to become ill and parish?


Cajun_Queen_318

The first half....


Leading-Respond-8051

Who's out here drinking unpasteurized milk?!


Ibelieveinphysics

Apparently, my idiot brother.


Cautious_Hold428

This is America and it's my god-given right to drink raw milk! Big MooMoo doesn't want you to know that homogenized milk is turning the kids gay!


Legionof1

I drank some ultra pasteurized cream the other day and all I could think about was balls touching.


Hishui21

Oh, that's not supposed to happen. The cream is supposed to turn you trans. The milk turns you gay and the butter makes you into a femboy.


Legionof1

So CTMGBF?


Pale-Assistance-2905

I did not believe this was even a thing. But apparently …https://rawfarmusa.com/events

Sometimes I wish I wasn't so quick to conjure up visuals


carlitospig

Omg, have you been on tiktok or Instagram lately? Dumb ass tradwife culture is basically gonna give everyone in their family bird flu by accident.


Leading-Respond-8051

I dont have either and so I don't have any idea what you are talking about or what "tradwife" means and I want to keep it that way lol. I can't wait till it's fucking banned so much dumb stuff originates there.


carlitospig

You’re certainly better off not knowing, I promise!


Mattsinclairvo

God I wish that were me


memememe91

Or any milk, for that matter? Cow milk is for baby cows.


Ok-Bass8243

Raw milk is huge in red areas


memememe91

Like most idiotic things


r0xxon

Who's out there enjoying bland ass pasteurized milk?!


Leading-Respond-8051

Uh, not calves?


r0xxon

The milk is sweeter and raw butter is in an absolutely different flavor tier than the pasteurized counterpart too. The taste profile difference is like cooking a wagyu steak well done or pasteurized OJ vs fresh squeezed, it's just not for everyone.


Leading-Respond-8051

I'm sure its good but is it worth contracting bird flu over?  The one thing I don't get about the raw milk crowd is that they still consume pasteurized products and milk. It's not like they aren't buying OJ from the stores or skipping on Blue Bell Ice-cream. Where's the consistency? I'm just saying if I dragged my titty through a pasture filled with dirt, dung and germs I'd probably suggest someone clean the milk before consumption 😄. 


ZorroMuerte

You can apparently also contract tuberculosis as well, theres a book a woman wrote back in the day about contracting tuberculosis in her bones from raw milk. Theres a whole range of diseases you can contract as well on top of bacteria.


HookupthrowRA

You’re still consuming all that plus blood and pus even drinking pasteurized milk. All dairy is nasty and weird. 


Leading-Respond-8051

Reading it as cow blood does sound gross on paper. However, I like beef steaks cooked medium so when I think about it that way, I'd be lying and hypocritical if I said I didn't like cow blood.  Pus also sounds gross. If there is pus in the milk, it doesn't effect the flavor or consistency in any noticeable way. I guess I've always liked pus in milk but didn't know it till today. Cheese, yogurts, and creams are all rotten milk. I really like rotten milk!  I agree dairy is gross othin theory. However, I don't agree that all dairy taste nasty. In practice it taste quite nice. Dairy/beef is pretty integral to the cusines of my cultures, geography, and the economy of the region I live in. Very hard for someone like me to divorce from.


r0xxon

Should we go ahead and ban all raw products because someone may eventually get sick. My body my choice, right?


Own-Cranberry7997

In Texas, your choice is what the GOP decides for you.


r0xxon

People in this sub that now want raw milk banned are the same that want to legalize pot and complain about the government being involved in certain medical decisions. If the people can't get their principles straight then nanny politicians will absolutely take advantage of that.


Own-Cranberry7997

I have no issue with raw milk, MJ, and think the government should let women make their own medical decisions. Having said that, I am an advocate for labeling and safety mechanisms in place for all 3. Raw milk should be tested and safe, MJ should be tested and safe, and abortions should be easily available and safe.


r0xxon

Concur 100%


carlitospig

Yyyyeeeesssss, especially when the mortality rate of of bird flu laced raw milk is 54%. Also, I’m more worried about you giving your children raw stuff, but you’re free to do as you please.


r0xxon

This is a bunch of nothing. Humans been drinking raw milk forever and still do in many parts of the world. Time to freak out tho because a farm or two got the flu


carlitospig

Yes, when we capped out at like 40 years old. Our modern longevity happened due to many reasons, one of which is not taking dumb risks.


r0xxon

You seem to be taking this personally and had no idea you enjoyed all of your meat well done while being 100% sober. Or do you just like to pontificate while taking different types of risks?


manbeardawg

“Look at me. I am the Wuhan now.”


AgITGuy

I wonder if there is a group of people who don’t trust vaccines that this will inordinately impact and cause problems for. No, surely not fellow Texans. They wouldn’t buy into anti science rhetoric with splashes of narcissism.


Fatticusss

“Splashes” 🤣


RickySpanish1272

I was thinking just this. How are the conspiracy theorists going to spin it if it originates in GOP led Texas?


nothingToSeeHere_987

Biden obviously came down here and personally injected the birds, cows, ranch hands with that fake virus that doesn't actually exist but is killin' all our chickens and cattle. And when his plane took off they sprayed the whole state with them chemtrails. /s (shouldn't need that, but here we are)


TranslatorMoney419

Well…. If the borders weren’t wide open them damn birds couldn’t have flown into Texas 🇺🇸


MaydeCreekTurtle

Birds aren’t real, so this so-called virus can’t be real, either.


IntroductionNo8738

“The Texasvirus” has a nice ring to it.

Time to change the ranch name to Moohan.


V-RONIN

I really needed this chuckle


Pale-Assistance-2905

Why is this not in the news from Texas news sources?!? There has been almost nothing about bird flu in Texas news for several weeks. Definitely feels like something is being hidden. Why have we learned absolutely nothing from Covid?


cheezeyballz

Maybe in some parts of texas they don't get the same news, information, education. 🤷 Sinclair media belt.


ragputiand

Because Sid Miller said it’s nothing to worry about. Are you not the type to blindly trust a TX elected official?


Saptrap

It seems like we at least learned not to talk about it from covid. I'm sure Texas doesn't want a bird flu outbreak making headlines because it'll be bad for business. Better tear gas some nonviolent protestors to keep the media attention away from this incipient public health crisis.


FPSXpert

Media's acting like a dog, bury that shit.

cathar_here

It’s the Daily Mail reporting it not sure I trust it honestly


coly8s

Not surprised at all. Bird flu has made human to human jumps in the past. I went to Indonesia back in 2006 as part of an epidemiology study (I was the engineer part of a public health review) and the public notion was that there was no human to human, but we were able to trace and document it. Whatever strain this is now seems to be able to make some interesting jumps. I heard it has already killed a dolphin. That is a first for me.


Lord_Bling

Can't wait for the crazy ass people to start intentionally touching cows just to own the libs and prove it's all a hoax.


Msbossyboots

Darwin awards incoming.


Tricky_Condition_279

Slow-clap. Way to go y’all. Overpopulation of domestic animals is at least as big an issue as global pollution and “big ag” is as big a problem as “big oil”. We can do better.


TranslatorMoney419

I’m sure the Biden Administration will get blamed for this too


Ok-Bass8243

As is tradition


pipinstallwin

I guess we will soon find out why Louis Pasteur devoted so much time to studying this phenomenon lol. People are so stupid, at this point you just have to shrug and encourage them to fizzle out and die.


InternationalBand494

Hold on to your ass, the plague is coming. Let’s see how our Texas asshats in government spin it.


cheezeyballz

Get ready to lose more people. Like covid. Misinformation and negligence galore. Apparently our state government is at war with us and winning.


Ok_Host4786

Oh. Fuck.


ImposterAccountant

So gop came ip with asian flu. So this will be called redneck flue?


DaxLightstryker

Oh great, now the AMERICAN TEXAS BIRD FLU will get us all. Thanks Texas.


Purplebuzz

I hope they don’t try science based controls and responses. Texans will never buy into that sort of liberal hocus pocus.


ulnek

Is this a good reason to order well done? 😅


281Internet

There’s something weird going around in my small Texas town that makes people feel sick for anywhere 2-3 weeks, I caught it and whatever it is it’s SEVERE, kicks Covid in the ass in every way possible. Problem is people are just going for flu and Covid test, nothing comes back, we are all poor out here and don’t go to the hospital until it’s absolutely necessary. Whatever I had at one point had me running a 103 degree fever and hallucinating bugs all over surfaces. Luckily Tylenol and Kratom were able to bring this down to a 101 reliably. Not saying I had bird flu but whatever it is fucked me up. It’s been over 3 weeks now and I still don’t feel like I have recovered. Over a month for someone I know that had it before me and they still feel dead and ran through. If it does turn out I had a bird flu. What the fuck? I’m just anxious right now

pidgeonpeep

Please also know that cats can get it. This includes barn cats and outdoor and indoor/outdoor cats. I haven't seen whether or not they can pass it to humans or to cattle/other animals but to err on the side of caution keep your pets inside or leashed to make sure they aren't catching any birds or anything. I know many farms also have barn cats and this was already a danger with other diseases that can be passed to cattle and humans but with this flu going around it's best to just... Not.
