If I were a chicken farmer... I may be worried. But I’m not.

Hide your chickens.

If you're forced to wing it, hide 'em in a Cajun hope for the brest.

1982 was long ago.

[Jim Noble]

There have been many human cases of H5N1 since 1997 when the first human case was reported from Vietnam.

I have no idea what this article is about.

And from last month...

Human cases of avian influenza A(H5) in the USA

...The overall risk to the general public is still low; however, it is clear that people with occupational exposures to poultry and dairy cows will more likely have exposure of H5N1 infection given its spread among the animals”...

No we were NOT ground zero for the Fauci-Wuhan virus.

That was the West coast that was ground zero !

I have no idea what this article is about.

What these kinds of articles are always about: "We're all gonna die! And it's ALL TRUMP'S FAULT!!!" :)

What does ‘presumptive positive’ mean?
