      Please be the story of the congressfolk that legalized raw milk, celebrated by drinking raw milk, and all got sick as a result…

      Fuck yeah.

        If Cleetus McNumbnuts becomes Patient Zero in another global pandemic, this time with a mortality rate of over 50%, it won’t be something to cheer about.

        https://www.cdc.gov/flu/avianflu/inhumans.htm

        Wear recommended personal protective equipment (PPE) when working directly or closely with sick or dead animals, animal feces, litter, raw milk, and other materials that might have the virus.

        Wash hands with soap and water, then put on PPE in this order:

        1. Fluid-resistant overalls.

        2. Waterproof apron, if needed for job task.

        3. NIOSH-approved respirator

        4. Properly-fitted unvented or indirectly-vented safety goggles or face shield

        5. Head cover or hair cover.

        6. Gloves

        7. Boots

        Avoid touching your eyes, mouth, or nose after touching any contaminated material.

        Meanwhile, Cleetus has purchased his jug of active virus and is happily drinking it.

        EDIT: Probably more like Cleetus giving said jug to his kids.

        https://www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/rawmilk/rawmilk-outbreaks.html

        Among illnesses linked to unpasteurized milk that occurred from 2013 through 2018, 48% (325) were among people aged 0–19 years.

      While McGeehan admitted that there were “some other colleagues that have similar symptoms that I’ve been experiencing,” he doesn’t think that milk is the cause. And even if it was the cause, McGeehan doesn’t regret voting for the bill.

      “There definitely shouldn’t be a law against allowing people to do what they want within the framework of the rule of law,” he said.

      That does seem kind of tautological.

        They are using “rule of law” to mean “whatever I want”. Rest assured that if their child was sickened, they would sue immediately. And probably blame trans immigrants or something.

      This bit from the article is amazing:

      “There definitely shouldn’t be a law against allowing people to do what they want within the framework of the rule of law,” he said.
