Single bird flu mutation could let it latch easily to human cells, study finds
The potential mutation would allow the avian influenza virus sweeping through cattle herds to attach to a receptor protein on the surface of our cells.

A M7.0 earthquake struck offshore northern California today. Very strong shaking was recorded along the coast, and weak shaking reached >1,000 km away. All kinds of excitement: a ShakeAlert early warning, a tsunami warning, and a bunch of aftershocks.

So, what's up with the geology here?

If you’d told me back in 1987 that the party of Reagan would win in the year 2024 by running a Russian leader puppet felon traitor rapist who ran on pulling us out of NATO and telling us that our country sucked, I would have laughed my ass off and asked what you were smoking.
