    Mystery Illness Impacting Texas, Kansas

    Only a matter of time until it spread to the US.

    …good distinction.

      I meant now that they have identified the mystery illness as the highly pathogenic avian flu, it’s not surprising that it has moved into the US. It has been in South America for several seasons, and avian flu can be carried by migratory birds. It was only a matter of time until it spread like this.

      Unfortunate, but not surprising.
