As health authorities have suspected for some time now, bird flu is consistently being spread between mammals, increasing the risk of sustained outbreaks emerging among humans in the future.
Gee, maybe this is why “why is my dog/cat bleeding from the eyes” and similar Google searches have been trending around industrial scale meat processing hotspots for months.
Google trends, see my reply to the other comment. Epidemiology Twitter has a bunch of related chatter on the topic too.
If you want to dive into a data topic like this my first stop is Twitter to see what the experts are saying, then Google trends to see how that translates into searches the mass public are making while dealing with it.
Google trends. Ask it questions like “why is my cat bleeding” or “why is my dog bleeding” and look at trends and localization over the last 3mo. Search in both English and Spanish to capture data from native Spanish speakers (the bulk of the workforce at meat processing plants) and their extended communities.
Google h5n1 symptoms in cats and dogs (bleeding from the eyes, ass, high fever, pink eye, seizures, etc) and come up with queries that everyday people might Google (like: “why is my dog bleeding from his privates” because Americans can’t say “anus”) and go from there.
I haven’t really kept track of all of the queries we looked through over the last couple of months, this was more my SO’s thing. Epidemiologist Twitter probably has some good data too.
Off the top of my head pink eye in dogs, cats with seizures, cats bleeding from their eyes, dogs bleeding from the ass, high fevers, etc all had pretty narrow localization around major industrialized meat packing plants or industrial scale livestock farming.
Thanks. I didn’t give it much poetic consideration. It’s probably not even my line…For example, I’ll turn my presentation off for the rest of this post.
what do you mean?
All sucks so bad that one doesn’t have to be Neo, needs no data science career or Google trends to reason their way to the same root truth of why such is so: True happiness comes from a sense contentment which must be achieved through the cultivation of altruism, of love and compassion and elimination of ignorance, selfishness and greed.
I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction. And I believe that there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells them it is right.
While the individual can be intelligent and wise - people are stupid, and you know it. From each according to their ability and to each according to their need. Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.
However, I’m invisible simply because people refuse to see me. When they approach me they see only my surroundings, themselves or figments of their imagination, indeed, everything and anything except me. Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.
Have you found those that wish to hear that which nearly no one else does?

What?!? How do you find that data? That’s super alarming

That’s almost a banger line, not the person you’re replying to but what do you mean?

There will be a spike due to posts like yours making people like me look it up 😂
That wouldn’t be localized enough to throw the result off but point taken
