California Gov. Gavin Newsom Declares State of Emergency Over One Lonely Case of Bird Flu

No governor in any state received more of a sexual thrill from their emergency pandemic powers than California’s Gavin Newsom. “Ten Days to Slow the Spread” in California turned into a ten-month lockdown. Suicides skyrocketed among black people, women, and young Californians in the 20 to 29 age bracket thanks to Newsom’s COVID policies as he dined at the French Laundry with no mask on. So, when one lonely case of bird flu popped up in another state, Newsom immediately declared a “State of Emergency” in California.

Bird flu is a problem in California, but it’s not that big a deal. A grand total of 34 agricultural workers, mainly dairy farmers, have tested positive for bird flu after being around sick cows or chickens. The symptoms have been annoying, mild, and laughable when compared to other communicable diseases.

The main symptom a healthy person can experience from bird flu is eye redness. In more advanced cases, a person might develop a mild cough. Most cases are contracted by coming into contact with chicken or cow manure from a sick animal. There has never been a recorded case of person-to-person transmission of bird flu. In other words, the vast majority of Americans are in no danger whatsoever of catching bird flu.

But that’s not good enough for California Gov. Gavin Newsom. When an elderly man 1,500 miles away in Louisiana came down with the first “severe” case of bird flu in America, Newsom declared a State of Emergency.

As you might expect, the elderly man had underlying health conditions and a drastically weakened immune system. He had some backyard chickens that died from bird flu and contracted it when disposing of the carcasses. The man was hospitalized with severe respiratory symptoms.

Within one day of Newsom’s eager emergency declaration, grocery stores were putting up signs about egg shortages and the price of eggs had skyrocketed by $2 per dozen. Since this apparently needs to be said, you can’t catch bird flu from eating eggs or fried chicken. As long as they’re cooked properly, there’s zero risk of catching bird flu from poultry products.

“We will continue to take all necessary steps to prevent the spread of this virus,” Newsom said during his big emergency announcement.

There have been 645 cows and chickens that caught bird flu in California this year. Cows recover from it quickly. The chickens are not given a chance to recover from bird flu. Whenever a few birds test positive for avian flu on a chicken farm, the government comes in and kills all of them and then declares that bird flu is 100% fatal among chickens (or turkeys). Newsom has had state farm agencies kill 2.5 million chickens in California this year.

The good news is that Newsom hasn’t imposed new lockdowns or masking rules in California in response to an elderly man in Louisiana getting sick. At least not yet. Social media users immediately started dragging Newsom for this latest emergency declaration, stating that they’re not going back to masking, lockdowns, or forced social distancing.

Americans should keep an eye on California in the coming days. Gavin Newsom has a lust for the US presidency that borders on the indecent. Just a few months ago, his heart was racing at the thought that he’d be the chosen one to replace Joe Biden on the Democrat ticket. It’s a guarantee that Newsom will run for president in 2028 and the erotic thrill that he gets from using dictator-like powers over the people shows just how unfit he really is.
