    Didn’t 2020 pop off with one of the worst Australian bushfires still ongoing, and then one of the worst wildfires in California/Oregon began? And then, you know… that little pandemic thing? How’s the bird-flu thing been so far this year? Just wondering

      Some guy in California fed raw bird flu milk to his cats and killed 2 blinded a third, iirc.

      So…on the way.

        Some guy, you mean RFK Jr. probably. And soon mandatory lunch snack at the public tax voucher-funded Christian school your kids will attend (you won’t HAVE TO go, but the only other schools won’t bee subverted by the voucher… So, up to you bro…)

          Currently cows are the main carrier of interest for one of the two strains of bird flu that are a concern in the US. The viral particles are being detected in their milk. Hence bird flu milk.

      I think with the “Sierra Leone declares emergency over mpox outbreak” headline from today, we might tip in to a new record breaking year wikiwiki !
