Bird flu and evolution.
“The more it spreads within mammals, that gives it more chances to mutate. As it mutates, as it changes, there is a greater chance it can infect humans. If it gains the ability to spread efficiently from person to person, then it would be hard to stop,” says Nita Madhav, a former U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention researcher”

And a lack of research on the mammary gland, maternal health, lactation and how virus can infect mammary tissue is not helping.

Connecticut got it right.

“During the 2022-2023 school year, more than 97 percent of Connecticut kindergartners were vaccinated against measles, up from 95.7 percent the year before and 95.3 percent the year before that. Why? The answer can be found in a 2021 law that eliminated the state’s religious exemption to vaccination.”

Saskatoon currently experiencing blizzard like conditions with 30-40 cm forecast by Sunday night. What the heck are people doing when they shovel snow onto the street instead of their front or side lawns? Never can understand this strategy in a city that does not plow its streets other than major routes.
