Maybe he'll get them to volunteer.

I think the moment is particularly alarming because... We have seen this infiltrate our food supply and things that we take for granted, like milk, like eggs, in a way that just hadn't been really apparent to the average consumer before this. And we've seen more people getting infected. And there were hopes that when there was a spillover from wild birds into dairy cattleβ

That would kind of be contained. It would burn out. And that hasn't happened. We continue to see it spreading in cattle. And scientists continue to track ways in which this could become more dangerous. And I think it just has kind of reached a critical mass of concern right now.

And then, of course, there was a huge effort to test all of this and determine, okay, it's pasteurized, it's safe, you're not going to get infected from milk being sold on retail stores. But It was a moment of, oh, wow, yeah, I'm drinking something that has remnants of bird flu in it. And I don't know how long that stayed in people's minds.

Well, it's been incredibly challenging bridging these two areas of public health, the human side and the animal side. You see USDA does all the animal testing and handles that stuff.
