Dairy farmers, increasingly polarized following the COVID-19 pandemic and worried about economic damages, are hiding likely bird flu cases in cows from the feds.
This has a real “hide the zombie bite from your friends” feel to it, albeit on a much grander scale.
They aren’t allowing the Government onto their property to check the cattle, and the cattle themselves will be tested if they try to move them over state lines, so, if these chuckle heads are dairy farmers, the government simply needs to check every drop of milk product that’s shipped off the farm before it goes to market/processors/distributors. Easy peasy.
I thought they already test the milk from each farm. Truck comes to pick up your milk and takes a sample to check quality and butterfat levels to pay out on. If you allow bad milk into the truck, you just bought the whole truck as it can’t be used.

well, then, test is harder, while snearing
oh yea they did, and found unviable traces of the virus. But with so many people drinking raw milk, good luck with our next pandemic?
