In short we've learned nothing, done nothing, and will be caught flat again. If you're not ready, get ready, because no one is coming to save you.

What a time for me to be prescribed an immunosuppressant.

Seriously. I'm sitting here twitching from my first course of Prednisone and then this article pops up. Thanks for the shitty genes, Mom.

Good luck and Godspeed. Please take care of yourself.

Thank you. I also own a flock of ducks, so I'm in a predicament. If a single bird of mine displays symptoms, I am prepared to take out the entire flock. It would be absolutely devastating to me, but I can't risk it. I do everything I can to keep my flock healthy and protected. Hopefully H5N1 doesn't spread to woodland critters, because I can't keep those out of my property at night. Deer, possums, and a gang of 3 raccoons come into my yard every night to hang out
