Crozier was discharged in October, and about two months later, he developed eye problems and returned to Emory. Doctors stuck a needle in his eye and removed some fluid, which tested positive for the virus.

They walk among us.

Thank God. It's been a few months since we were terrified about how ebola was going to end the world next week. It will be nice to run around screaming and peeing ourselves again.

Vaccines Might Not Stop the Midwest Bird Apocalypse

The outbreaks of avian flu across the country are actually of two distinct varieties. The more virulent one, H5N2, emerged quietly, first showing up in a few backyard chickens near Boise, Idaho in January. But since March it has been throttling the Midwest, and on March 4 it was detected on a farm of 1.1 million birds in southern Minnesota. The USDA has been working on a vaccine for H5N2, and it will begin testing its effectiveness in live animals this month.
