What are your thoughts, Mori.

I don't want to panic about it. From the bit I've read, it sounds like it is already pretty widespread in dairy cattle, and therefore it's probably interacted a bunch with humans already. And we don't seem to be getting infected with it. So maybe we'll be okay? I worry that maybe it'll mutate and become able to infect us, but who knows how harmful it would be? I guess the fear is, it's been able to become so widespread and the dairy / livestock industries don't seem to be doing much to try to stop that. So if it ever became dangerous, we can't really rely on these industries to protect us and limit the spread of a pathogen in their products.

Not scared about it yet, but keeping an eye for further developments.

It's so sad the state of the world where people have to put these out.
