The HPAI H5N1 outbreak in cows has been limited to the US so far

The Australian government put $100 million towards H5N1 related measures last month, but that's more because they haven't done much about it because H5N1 isn't present on the continent (yet)

This just makes me surer that my late 2019 covid was really covid (all the hallmark symptoms) and the only reason it was taken seriously was China calling it out. Or at least it had been brewing a lot longer.
