Whatever strain of bird flu going around often results in a mass culling of the affected fowl - imagine those wanting to de-populate the planet would do the same to people who get the flu.

Is there real data on this? How are they measuring it? It is this basically a CDC press release?

More protein on the chopping block. A useless culling, leading to our cricket eating future.

Bird flu has probably *always* been "widespread" among birds in Massachusetts. And in New Hampshire; and in Ontario; and in England, and Hungary, and Kazakhstan, and, well... everywhere.
But now it's a *thing* we all have to be worried about, and an excuse for PH-types fearing that they might have to find something useful to do or go on the dole to look important.

How weird to not see bird corpses everywhere, then. I went to a bird-filled wildlife area recently and it was not noticeably different in any way from any other time.
