Episode description

Avian Influenza, AKA bird flu is just a few mutations away from becomimg a much bigger deal for humans. With the pandemic just in the rear view mirror, teh news that H5N1 has moved from bird populations to dairy herds to humans should be a red alert. Curiously, the USDA seems relatively unconcerned. Gail Hansen, Public health veterinarian and subject matter expert for government and non-government organizations on public health and animal policy, discusses what could be our next major public health crisis.
