Bird Flu is here right now and probably closer than most of us think. We had two beautiful outdoor Cats die recently within a couple days of each other of what I suspect might have been Bird Flu. The symptoms were pretty close to what I read were those of Bird Flu. Pretty awful. I gloved and masked when I was near them just in case. They both started showing symptoms around the same time, then they seemed to improve. I was thinking they were recovering. That only lasted a few days until they went suddenly really bad. They were gone 2 days apart.
I suspect we're going to see a real upsurge in Covid deaths with RFKjr/Trump running things. If something like Bird Flu gets loose in the population we're in real trouble with those two morons at the helm.

They're murdering Americans and deserve the death penalty.
