    Still no confirmed human to human transmission, they all worked at the same poultry farm. Likely not another world ending pandemic yet.

      Then how did the two doctors get it?

      Edit: Just read the article more closely and the grammar behind it isn’t really clear.

      Two doctors and six staff members from the Regional Poultry Farm

      This could mean either

      A) The doctors and staff members are from the poultry farm.

      or

      B) The doctors are from the hospital and staff members are from the poultry farm.

      I assumed B but I could be wrong.

        Given that it straight up says everyone infected has had close ties to the poultry industry, and a doctor who works at the farm in question is quoted in the article, I think its safe to assume the infected doctors are 1: not human medical doctors, and 2: worked at the farm.

    Everyone in this thread worried because of how we handled the “last” pandemic… you should be more worried about how we’re handling the CURRENT pandemic you’ve been convinced is over because the rich people wanted you back in the office.

    Covid is top 4 leading causes of death, makes you more susceptible to die from the top 3 causes, is disabling millions of people every year still, and destroys your immune system / Tcells similar to HIV. Aids wasnt discovered until around 10 years after people were first getting HIV
