No, no red flags there...
 Nobody sells raw meat as cat food, so you're pretending
that there's this bird flu that can't infect birds that
fly and can't be destroyed by cooking. But it does infect
cows, for no apparent reason, and can infect cats through
their food which isn't raw.

Did you even read what you snipped out?  It is about the strange phylogeny indicating that California may have been the first state infected with the Dairy virus.
The domestic cats that were infected by raw pet food consumed food made by, at least, two pet food manufacturers that sold raw frozen cat food. They were infected by the dairy virus that in one case likely infected a meat chicken flock that got into the pet food.  One manufacturer had cattle bones and poultry in their pet food so they are not sure of the source of the dairy virus.  Dairy workers likely infected the poultry flocks, but everyone has been in denial of that since it was confirmed in Michigan early in the infection.  They also have known from the beginning that dairy cats were infected and died from drinking raw milk.
