Dr. Angela Rasmussen(@angie_rasmussen):About this H5N1 mink farm in Utah. It is REALLY dangerous to let bird flu spread unchecked through mammals, especially minks, which have similar susceptibility & respiratory physiology to humans. The virus can adapt to human hosts by adapting to the respiratory tract of minks.
