Avian flu is a conservation and public health crisis.
18,000 dead baby elephant seals. Terns having seizures on beaches. Outbreaks among livestock. Human deaths.

It's like 'dead birds flying': How bird flu is spreading in the wild
That's the way one scientist puts it — referring to how infected wild birds survive long enough to spread it to birds and mammals around the world. And that's a serious risk for human health.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

A journalist today asked me how I felt about the health shenanigans that's going on in the US post-election.
My honest answer: I'm glad I live in Australia right now. Also, you don't notice the benefits of public health until they're gone.
