No lol. This is going to be a continuation of COVID and as such most people are just going to ignore it and keep not masking, vaxxing, or social distancing like they always have.

I feel like I've seen warnings about bird flu outbreaks for over 20 years and nothing like COVID19 ever happened. Is the US in a significantly different or even worse/further de-regulated state related to controlling this disease now?

I found this and much like other articles, there are indeed some dire quotes:

Many farmers declined to test their herds, despite an announcement of funds to compensate them for lost milk production in May. “There is a fear within the dairy farmer community that if they become officially listed as an affected farm, they may lose their milk market,” said Jamie Jonker, chief science officer at the National Milk Producers Federation, an organization that represents dairy farmers. To his knowledge, he added, this hasn’t happened.
