The state of Texas has posted a notice that dairy cows are being impacted by a bird flu outbreak.

A mysterious disease has been working its way through the Texas Panhandle, puzzling the agriculture industry. Today, Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller received confirmation from the United States Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack, and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) that the mystery disease has been identified as a strain of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) commonly known as Bird Flu. To date, three dairies in Texas and one in Kansas have tested positive for HPAI. The Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) is vigilantly monitoring this outbreak.

Oh.

Did he say Kansas?

How long before that one little Kansas case is linked into nearby research at the new bioweapon lab in a prominent agriculture research university?

Just thinking out loud since Kansas ranchers have complained about lab leaks. Maybe Texas has a much louder political voice, which is what’s going on, and why they pulled in the feds. And maybe the WHO is right, cattle were inevitable.
