Bird Flu is A Threat We Should Not Ignore

© 2024 Mark McWiggins

The New York Times today (December 2) has an article about the bird flu that could overwhelm us later this year… it is “raging out of control” in California Cattle herds and the virus “has not yet acquired the tools to infect humans.”

But as the cold weather drives us all indoors, this vastly increases the possibility of a global pandemic, according to medical researchers quoted in this article.

Best of luck to all of us!
