The bad taste of better days

I just wish to submit it is unreasonable to have to deal with the outbreak of a rare disease in the middle of an ongoing pandemic of a novel virus which far too many people are treating with pure denial because they got bored with it, thanks. "One expert told Reuters the recent outbreak of monkeypox could be due to increased travel after COVID restrictions dropped." Wheeee.

I am still bemused that it's monkeypox. I was expecting bird flu to be the next big thing: there keep being reports of new, virulent, highly spread-able bird flu in different parts of the world, and it's not even the same strain every time. I just hoped the bird flu would hold off for another year or two until we got to a better Covid situation.

But no, monkeypox. This is not fair.

This unit of 2020 2022 2020 is defective and I would like to exchange it for a new one a unit of equivalent value a refund.

Er, but yes bird flu. It's really bad here [in Minnesota]. I am very worried about the owls who roost in our backyard, and egg prices are through the roof because they've had to slaughter so many infected chickens.

We've been hearing about bird flu here (W Massachusetts)--not human cases, but in bird populations.
