"While Trumps USDA has REFUSED to investigate how bad H5 bird flu really is a recent investigation suggests that bird flu is spreading so easily because it is airborne. While bird flu mainly infects birds it does infect other mammals including humans where it has had a XX% mortality rate. So while only two people in the U.S. have died from bird flu so far WHOs chief scientist said the spread of H5 to humans is an enormous concern because the more humans infected period the easier it will be for the virus to spread from human to human. So what do we need to do Encourage the USDA to distribute"
