Stunning: 58 new #H5N1 #birdflu infected herds in California confirmed by #USDA today.
The US dairy industry needs to have a long think about biosecurity. If H5 killed cows, the industry would be sunk. https://www.aphis.usda.gov/livestock-poultry-disease/avian/avian-influenza/hpai-detections/hpai-confirmed-cases-livestock

@GottaLaff I hope all goes well and no one else develops symptoms...Take care.
@mackayim2022 True. Other than "mom" duties...discovering real relaxation is a good thing. Although the health department pulled me back when the person who took my job ran away...I have managed to adapt to the new paradigm; play with the dogs, putter around the house as needed.... 
@mackayim2022 Enjoy it sir. Although I wandered around the living room for a few weeks wondering what I was supposed to be doing, I managed the transition....
I have had a couple Black Russians....I hope your evenings are going as well. I'll have to spend some time tomorrow with mom (91) to provide tech support and remove some donations. 
At this point in life, I prefer the ambient temperature to be greater than or equal to my age.....

I wish all people subject to Trump's whims fight to the end...Smith, as an example, can't get fired until there is an AG...Folks at the CDC etc, are not appointees....drag out the destruction of departments as long as possible....
