Masked Man's Caveat/Personal feelings about the loss of so many creatures:
... I suppose this is why they cull domestic livestock when it gets infected so they can control the area so the carcasses don't continue to infect other animals. I suppose this is why when all these animals die in the wild it makes the virus even more dangerous because so many other animals can get infected out in the wild. This astronomically horrible news.
I can't recall anything this devastating happening in my lifetime ever. Ive never heard of so many animals falling ill and simply dying by so vast a number. This truly alarming. I am not fear monger and don't want to create hysteria but I am a realist and this of public concern no doubt we are in trouble.
It almost doesn't matter if bird flu goes human to human from what it is already doing it is already wreaking enough damage to cause imbalance in the food chain and havoc is already reaching our food source and farmers and so many species of animals. Good luck to those people who try to continue to try to live like these animals didn't float ashore dead. I have nothing to lose by saying people are nuts for not masking when that many creatures just died by the masses. Its smart to be concerned in these cases. Not wise to breathe in whatever they as a flock or herd partook of.
Today is the day marked by a new challenge... that's too many microscopic entities.. to many invisible forces namely a virus that wiped out too many animals to simply shrug one shoulders at. We must be realistic and admit to ourselves this never has happened in any of our personal histories before no one here amongst us can say 25000 grebes or forty ducks just washed ashore dead! That's a harsh reality but its best to admit that it is happening and I think in this case it is smart to be afraid and to be averse to such a high number of deaths.. in this case it is a rational fear to have that will protect those from possibly the same fate. I am definitely masking and cooking my food and washing clothes and hands as I'm personally not playing with these viruses as obviously these viruses are not finished.
That's too many creatures dying all at once for my tastes I'm for playing it smart and safe and taking more precautions than necessary to be on the safe side. Others will do as they want but I'm personally not going to act like a flock or herd with other people . I am masking and staying apart from crowds and gatherings and unnecessary person to person matters and enjoying my life mostly within my dwelling and home. Hope I can find others online to share with in this society who are like minded and cautious like me.
Take care and be mindful and in harmony with reality, I'm not ending up a wheezing dead duck with bird flu.. I'm fighting that by not breathing in what the flock or herds are breathing in right now and sticking to my masked way of life! I enjoy sharing online in person..that's good enough for little old me
If that many dead creatures floating ashore doesn't alarm people or move people to take more precautions against microscopic entities I don't know what will! Who wants to go walk around or breathe around a bunch of dead animals!? That's the reality of this. One of my goals in life is to simply avoid getting sick. Seeing that many animals dead is like a giant BEWARE 'you are next' sign from our maker or something.
This should be a humbling experience seeing that many creatures pass away before our mortal eyes. ..Think of it as if the animals are trying to tell us something...

P.S. We share with animals and they are in the same world that we live walk and breathe in. When we go outside we are in the same personal space as many other plant and animal life.. we are in a giant terrarium so to speak sharing same water sources, breathing the same air and part of the same food chain microscopic entities feed of of(electron microscopes have proved these microscopic entities exist and are present whether we see them or not)...it is of PUBLIC CONCERN when these fellow animals with their lungs and hearts fall ill and pass away... we are part animal!
Fortunately we are an animal capable of reasoning and imagination and tools unlike many other animals.. we are capable of reasoning to ourselves for instant we can make judgements and modify our behavior accordingly such as "oh, I should mask unlike that dead flock of birds or I shouldn't drink from the same water source or trough as that herd of cattle is ill".. I shouldn't play in the leaves or the bedding as those deer...I should wear a mask around the bedding and feces of small mammals... I shouldn't let my house pets whom I love to pet and be close to get exposed to creatures in the wild... so Just ignore the part of these studies that make frivolous 'its all good' statements such as "its not of public concern" & "Officials note at this time, Center for Disease Control and Prevention considers the human health risk to the general public from bird flu to be low while a vast number of animals just died. Ignore these 'no fear' slogans and decide for yourself what your legetimate concerns in regards to the main facts of the study such as numbers and all pertinent data in regards to the losss of animal life, time, date, locations etc.
I suggest you listen to your own hearts take the necessary precautions based on your own public concern in these matters and You decide yourselves how you feel about the losses of such vast numbers of animal life and the data. I suggest you be in charge of your own feelings and reactions in this very real matter and real happenings. Bless you all, take heed, and take care,
