Workers have been infected at a poultry plant - but there is no sign of transmission between humans.

Russia has reported the first case of a bird flu strain, H5N8, being passed from poultry to humans.

Officials said seven workers at a poultry plant in the south of the country had been infected following an outbreak there in December. "All seven people... are now feeling well," said the head of Russia's consumer health watchdog, Anna Popova.There was no sign of transmission between humans, Ms Popova said, adding that the case had been reported to the World Health Organization.She praised "the important scientific discovery" by Russia's Vektor laboratory, which had isolated the strain's genetic material from the infected workers.

"The discovery of these mutations when the virus has not still acquired an ability to transmit from human to human gives us all, the entire world, time to prepare for possible mutations and react in an adequate and timely fashion," Ms Popova said.Other strains of bird flu occasionally infect humans and have led to deaths - but this is the first report of the H5N8 strain being passed on.

Veganism or death.

Hazte Vegano si quieres salvarte y salvar el Planeta

Well, that’s a bummer!

Terrible reporting from the BBC as usual!

If it continues this way, supermarkets will have to stock vaccines. Depending on what virus you infected with,Just go pick one and jab yourself on the go. Ffs

Who's going to put the face masks on them birds😷🐔🐓🐣

FFS

Chrisuk1943 Just a ploy to get rid of the poultry industry. Well its not working. I will not change to 3D or this rubbish that kfc will be coming out with. Another scaremongering headline of lies.

syramadad NOPE. Just no. Get behind me Satan.

syramadad Ndrakore

Not a great time to arrive anywhere! But still we all need to be safe more and more with the food chain

Please don’t make this another global pandemic as well in all!

💔👇👇

Bird flu H5N8 is NOT dangerous or deadly, it’s another scaremongering post by our supposed journalists. click bait trying to scare people who’s already feeling down and struggling mentally, Media needs to be held accountable for mental health issues, I hope you get sued.

It's in Russi for pity's sake. Of course there is no sign of transmission between humans!!! And that assumes this is not a deliberate copycat of Covid to hit out at the west etc.

Least us blokes wont get it!!

Cancel your tv licence people.

Clickbait headline. BBC getting very good at this (along with poor spelling) lately.

Year 1, Day 1, Lesson 1. 'Don't mess with Mother Nature' 🥺

Nature has had enough of the human race damaging the planet. She’s decided to get rid.

Ebola Africa and now Bird Flu hope WHO are keeping tabs on these. Also need to keep an eye on Huwaei as the company is now starting to mess about with pigs aka swine flu risk

The world is coming to an end for all humans woohoo Long live all the animals No more humans in this world 🌎

best keep a close eye on this, considering

Here we go again.

Whats the next big thing after covid ....Natural disaster and a big one thos is extinction level event times we living in

Hyperbole!! ‘All seven people... are now feeling well’!!

And no one looks towards the pharmaceutical giants and thinks.. I wonder 🤔

Great !

I support the independence of North Ireland and Scotland. fucking BBC

...

Put a liitle birdhouse in your soul

Here we go!

Looks like now compitions is tense for each country to have its own virus, FUKEN BIOLOGICAL WAR

Really beleave that bollocks reporting again

WHO Play this bioterorism

There are still so many other viruses, bacteria etc. that are still unknown. The joke is that virologists and researchers, as well as quite a few politicians, know about it. Therefore I think we'll never get our normal life back.

All birds to immediately stop working . Stay nesting , save lives, protect the RSPB. Put them all on fowlough

Enjoy extended Novel Era 🙏 a year of begging and heading to just be “sincere” did not make sense for WHO UN & corrupt teachers World is transforming like it or not ! Imagine world minus humans 🌎 Keep doing your daily drama and broken promises, life is and so is time 🌲

What ever next

SubToOptimus

And Ebola has shown up again but Thts the ppl eating fruit bats as being a delicacy but still stupid ppl to eat them still!

Not again as this was around abt in the 90’s

Slow down! We’re not done with Covid yet

Well that's a welcome relief from covid

But they all survived and are fine soooooo no big deal then

Oh terrific - I’m getting the feeling that the commies are up to something 😉

Seriously. That’s all we bloody need

Venga ya

Stop scare-mongering “There was no sign of transmission between humans, Ms Popova said, adding that the case had been reported to the World Health Organization.”

Zzzzzzzzz

BBC....does anyone listen to your crap anymore?

A Tweet about Bird Flu . . . . . . . .

Looks like we might have to shutdown everything and destroy society...again.

My man Putin chuckin out novicluck

Here we go again, nodoubt the biased Brussels broadcasting corporation, will be joyfully telling us next weekend, that it has reached our shores.🇬🇧🇬🇧🖐🖐🖐

If people don’t realise they have to change their ways there will be more of this to come. Why not GoVegan ?

Don’t worry guys this happened ages ago they have since recovered and it is believed it hasn’t spread any further it’s just a bit of scaremongering

_bfcsam Ok

Well that's great, that's f*cking great man, now what the f*ck are we supposed to do?

Wonderful. Here we go again.

Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about Morganmuffin1 wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation

It has been an amazing journey with you Morganmuffin1 making money from the comfort of my home, I promise I was going to tell everyone about you. he a honest trustworthy reliable for he transaction Morganmuffin1

Don’t burry us !!

Good job we're in perpetual lockdown, human-bird flu 21's never going to get us now!

I don’t care

OMG.... There we go ....🥺🥺🥺

'it's just like the flu'

probs time to stop breeding animals i guess

Stop with the deliberate attempts to scare the crap out of everybody. Piss poor reporting again, lead with some proper news, I don’t know.....Maybe Hancock’s corruption perhaps 🤔

Just bring on the plague of locusts and have done with it!

Honest, I’m not in the mood

Here we go again...

Oh ffs not now 😂

Fucking hell what's next?🤣🤣🤣

Haha BBC. So predictable

mother nature is probably thinking kill these little insects i.e., Humans before they destroy the planet.

It’s almost like we shouldn’t be building and supporting the animal agricultural machine 🤷

cool

Can you please just shut it

Is it likely to be an eggs-aggeration? 🥚

What next ?

I do wonder how much of this is better science and detection than it is the first time something has happened. In the meantime which came first: - Chicken - Egg

It’s almost like nature is taking charge against a race that thinks it’s superior because of western medicine! Charles’s Darwin theory and natures exact is survival of the fittest

Someone hit the RESET button before it’s too late 🤦🏽‍♂️

Here we go!

Quick extend lockdown , deaths within 56 days of a positive test for bird flu , vaccine out july

It's ok Hancock will give them a contract to sort it

Journalist flu has also been detected the main symptom is BS.

Eggsalent

It seems that nothing will be like before 2020 as Lady Gaga twitted in the early 2020 ' the world is cancelled' :(

Fake news. Look where its coming from.!
