Ah yes, the good old, "Leave the disease alone and see what happens" tactic. I wonder if it will just go away this time?

Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

It will be gone be ~~Easter~~ Memorial Day, July 4th or maybe Labor day for sure..
Yeah once it warms up all the cows get some fresh air, drink some bleach, stick a flashlight up their butt, it'll be gone in no time /s
If I don't test for it, it can't hurt me!
… m, mmm, mad?
Also, no games there industry. You don’t get to choose the name, just do your part for public health with your public protections and money (in some cases).
Edit: grammar games
Mad, cow, industry.
Mad cow industry.
Mad, cow industry?
Moo flu it is.
Thank you dear friend.
If the world has to end, at least let it be funny
Okay, how about we just say cow flu?
IF this virus mutates and becomes a pandemic, at least now we know who to blame.
who to blame
Canada?
yet another reason to be vegan.
At this point, it would be a massive step up if people would just not send their money to people who cram cows in tiny cages with no room to move. Even if the vast majority of people can't give a shit about the well being of animals, they should at least be able to realise that breeding horrific viruses so they have baby cow juice loaded up with drugs is a terrible idea just for their own selfish sake. How hard is it to change a few little habits? Are people so far gone that they can't change any aspect of their lives?
It's so hard to take anyone seriously when they have such little self-control and moral absence that they can't even take any tiny step if it means giving up anything that they are used to.
How hard is it to change a few little habits?
It is legitimately impossible for most 1st-worlders.
They all think they're entitled to what they've had their entire lives, even if it hurts others.
I know, you're right. I bounce back and forth between despising and pitying them. I feel like I should pity more, but honestly, I spend more time despising.
Even the powers of veganism cannot protect you from an airborne virus
obviously, the solution is to dismantle the industries that cause these conditions, but I imagine you already knew that.
Would they prefer calling it cow flu? Either way, it's going to be used as yet another excuse to jack up prices far beyond the impact (as big or as small as it may be). Not looking forward to this.
never really liked milk, but half&half and heavy cream? yes. cheese? very yes. hopefully this gets fixed asap.
