They note that the US does not have a handle on the spread of the dairy 
epidemic, and claim that the virus is now endemic to cattle, as it 
should have been concluded with the first dairy to dairy infections. 
Their little diagram about how the virus is spread is inaccurate because 
the cow to poultry spread is obviously mediated through human dairy 
workers that work on both poultry farms and dairies.  That has been 
known since the USDA released their June 2024 report acknowledging that 
2 dairy workers from infected dairies also worked at two poultry farms 
that got infected in Michigan.  They also note that the recent report 
(initiated in May 2024 and delayed for some reason until now) claimed 
evidence for human transmission of the dairy virus from dairy workers to 
their cats.

The claim is that Trump's stupidity is just making the situation worse, 
but the USDA and CDC were already not doing much to contain the spread 
of the dairy virus before Trump started messing with the situation.  We 
have obviously known that there was human transmission of the virus 
since May and June of 2024, but nothing was done about it.  California 
confirmed by contact tracing that humans were spreading the virus in 
October 2024, and still they did nothing to restrict dairy worker 
movements between dairies and poultry farms and ended up with nearly all 
their dairies infected and 40% of their layer flocks lost.  The dairy 
worker testing that was supposed to have started in Nov. 2024 never 
happened, and the CDC is still claiming only around 700 total humans 
have been tested.  They have a pretty good idea that humans are 
spreading the D1.1 genotype in Nevada (all dairies have been infected 
with the same virus with the mutation to facilitate replication in 
mammals and one dairy worker has already been confirmed to be infected 
in early Feb yet they never started dairy worker testing in order to 
treat the infected dairy workers and stop the spread to other dairies.
