A few years back, my wife had something of a minor yet potentially serious health scare. We knew her issue didn’t constitute an emergency requiring an ambulance, but we needed a doctor to look at her sooner rather than later because it was the kind of health concern that could quickly worsen and lead to lifelong complications.

It’s been only a few years since the world exited the height of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, but we’re now facing a potentially deadlier new pandemic threat. This threat stems from a virus that health professionals have been monitoring for two decades: H5N1, more commonly known as bird flu or avian influenza. Once mostly the bane of chicken farmers, H5N1 has now infected domesticated animals and wild species worldwide. It’s now jumping from dairy cows to humans. Each day the threat grows worse.
