Once it gets into our food supply it can cause something like a flu bomb that's going to kill a lot of people at once. Vegans might have a better chance of surviving in this case. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Omodi@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago (1 child) There is this little thing called pasteurization. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee -15 points 2 years ago (2 children) There is that little thing called don't torture cows to get their titty juice.

At least they have job security. permalink fedilink source parent [–] JustZ@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) We just test the cows so we'll spot it quickly and hopefully it won't spread. The threat is a pathogen that either we don't even know is spreading, or we don't know how it is spreading. A mutated H5N1 for example. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago But if we test, then maybe we'd have to not produce milk from positive cows for a short amount of time. Then someone might find it a little bit difficult to get milk for their morning cereal, and that would be a minor inconvenience. permalink fedilink source parent [–] frunch@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago That's reassuring, lol permalink fedilink source parent
