They should take his name out of the firm’s name out of respect for his memory.

The bovine H5N1 outbreak, already badly handled, is ongoing too.

It's really unfortunate that Covid trends do not act like the Flu or RSV (at least yet). The difference between peak and trough:
🔸Flu: 200x
🔸RSV: 400x
🔸Covid: 9x
And Covid only stays at those reduced levels for weeks, not most of the year. Always around.
