Anywhere birds poop is a problem if the virus becomes trans species.

I sure hope we are working on a plan to ramp up a vaccine for this one....

Bird flu has officially jumped the species queue, straight into a sheep. Yes, really. Here's everything you didn’t want to know about viruses, farm animals, and the UK's latest "totally fine" crisis.

And if we all went vegan this virus simply wouldn't be a thing, anywhere in the world. Millions, if not by now, billions of animals wouldn't be killed, most in the most cruel ways imaginable.

And all for what? Bloodlust? Certainly not nutrition.

Sheep certainly do not socially distance, even in open fields. The bleat in each other's faces and graze on grass soaked in each other's urine. Sheep's milk cheese is most often pasteurized but possibly bad news for sheep shearers, who have to hug sheep close to get the job done, wool is oily.
