I wonder why an "emergency"? The person who got sick was in Louisiana, and pasteurized milk, unlike raw, is entirely safe to drink. So if nobody in CA is sick, then...? The article did not seem to answer why.
Because dipshits gonna dipshit.
Crunchy types who think ultra bacterial/viral milk is health beneficial and that bacteria free (pasteurized, as in, flashed with some heat) is terrible for their health, will go out of their way to continue consuming it. Remember, “I don’t wanna” is a predictor of human behavior.
We also have the premier dipshit, RFK, heading health, and a CDC that doesn’t do pandemic work (see: Reveal podcast’s 3 part series on the COVID project), so it could be that California is treating this as one of many things states have to do themselves, by themselves, going forward. My read of the post election news is all 3 west coast states plan to do for themselves, as independently as possible, since Trump won. This action fits that narrative and theif GDPs, CA especially, do make that plausible. As such, OR and even WA may follow suit if more cases appear.
Newsom is also gunning to run in 2028, assume we have democratic elections instead of Putin style elections going forward.
I was wondering if it was only going to affect people who drink raw milk, but other articles are reminding me that it still affects the farm workers themselves (which I thought protective gear was shown ro be sufficient there, but I don't recall how certain that is).
Sale of raw milk is legal in California, and the cows are widely infected. Bird flu is showing up in sewage in most of the state, which suggests that there are likely to be a whole bunch more infected people who don't realize what they have.
Thank you for answering. My comment probably sounded like conspiratorial nonsense, but you answered as if it were - and it was - authentic, so thanks.
Who told you that nobody in California is sick?
The article specifically said that?
No it didn't
Maybe I misunderstood - hence why I asked - but passages such as these led me to question what then it was trying to say:
In other words, it’s not time to rush the stores and buy out the toilet paper just yet.
