"With new outbreaks in Iowa and Missouri, nearly 2.8 million birds — almost entirely chickens and turkeys — have died in one month due to highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), the Agriculture Department said on Monday. The viral disease has been identified in 23 poultry farms and backyard flocks in a dozen states since February 8, when the first report of “high path” bird flu in a domestic flock was reported. "
Damm. I knew that the bird flu outbreak was getting bad, but I didn’t know that it had crossed this stage.
This scares me thinking what would be the toll and what if this strain mutates into a version that spreads easily among humans?
