‘ It wasn’t that long ago they were saying these viruses don’t jump species.’

“ So, nothing to worry about?”

I would want to hear from a vet. But hard to believe this hasn’t always been happening. There is such a desire with social media to hype everything to scare us

They tried that one a few months ago. If it was going to infect then why has it not done so among poultry workers?

I agree .
But in the thousands of years humans have been in close contact with birds it’s hard to believe this doesn’t occasionally happen

It has happened since the beginning.

More than half of viruses that infect humans have come from other species.

“resident of Southwestern Louisiana” means the sick person is an illegal alien.

How do you get down off an elephant’s back?

Carefully remove the J. Peterman down comforter off of Rosie O’Donnel.
