    I’m not into the whole spinal chord thing, but shouldn’t you vertebrates change the name to human flu when that happens?

      Not until we can blame it on a scapegoate group. E.g. “Spanish” flu.

        Fun fact: it was known as the “Spanish” flu because Spain was neutral in WW1, and thus was one of the few countries to report on it freely and openly. The earliest recorded case was from Kansas, US.

    Mercer County who works on a farm came into contact with deceased poultry that was infected with the virus.

    Well probably need to take more precautions when you see a dead bird now.

    Fortunately Ohio is full of people who will take this seriously and work to suppress disease transmission and encourage the development and distribution of vaccines. Right guys?
