Bird Flu in Cows Is a Slow-Motion Disaster

Georgia didn’t invent this fast response. There was a checklist to follow: the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 224-page Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Response Plan, known as the Red Book. 

For 15 years, the Red Book has laid out how to detect bird flu, cull affected birds and prevent further spread.

Unfortunately, bird flu is no longer confined to birds. Last March it was identified in cows for the first time.

Scientists have long considered bird flu, or H5N1, a leading candidate for causing a human pandemic.
