Following the discovery of H5N1 influenza of avian origin in a sheep in the UK this week, Gavin is joined by Dr. Abraar Karan of Stanford University to discuss the current state of bird flu in the US, its impact on public health, and the potential for human-to-human transmission. Dr. Karan analyses the ongoing outbreaks and infections in the US, the challenges in detecting and controlling the virus, and the lessons learned from COVID-19.

We chat about the complexities of viral evolution, the importance of robust testing and surveillance, the critical need for coordinated efforts to prevent a potential epidemic, and how bird flu might end.
