Summary

This episode is all about Avian Influenza. Or colloquially what we call the Avian Flu. Or what kids on the school playground call “Bird Flu.” Depending on where you live, you might have noticed news headlines in recent months about the frightening spread of Avian Flu among both domestic and wild birds. I thought you might have some questions about this emerging disease, and so here we are with an entire podcast episode on the subject.
