I'm no scientist, but if a bird transmits the flu to a cow that is now the cow flu.

The H stands for Holstein.

@the_etrain and apparently also it's the cat flu.

Oh jeez. Cat flu? You don't want that.

@the_etrain True. And if you give a cow’s swimming trunks to a hippo, they become the hippo’s trunks. Basic science.

It’s not science so much as it is our basic anthropocentric chauvinism. Once any zoonotic disease crosses over to humans it ought automatically to become a human disease. None of this bird flu, or mad cow disease. By rights, since this former bird flu was first detected in cows in Texas, it should definitely be called Texas flu. And blame Ted Cruz for it too just because he’s a dick.

@qurlyjoe @the_etrain It should be nicknamed Texas Ted Dick Fungus, transferable via touch, bodily fluids and air. That might actually give better traction to acceptance of all countermeasures, wouldn't you say?
