Thanks for bringing over the photo. I hope it doesn't get FR in trouble for having it posted here as full credit is given.
It is hard to think that we could see similiar scenes here in the US. The damage that would be done economically to our poultry industry is incredible. With the CDC already getting close to 500,000 calls a day from citizens, an outbreak would have severe economic ramifications on the industry, even without H2H transmission.
