My #pandemic bet is on #BirdFlu in the US with Texas as the epicentre. Check out this little timeline & bear in mind that measles is nuking unvaccinated folks’ immune systems in the US so any previous immunity from prior flu infections will be wiped:

Dec 24 — California first state to declare a state of emergency over bird flu.
Jan 25 — 650 students in Godley Texas absent from school due to ‘the flu’. The town of Godley only has 3,000 students.
Feb 25 —Texas flu deaths rise by 72%.
Feb 25 — Measles outbreak grows among Texan school-aged children. All children infected are unvaccinated.
Feb 25 — Texas measles outbreak doubles from 24 to 48 infected in 3 days.
Feb 25 — Oklahoma releases a health alert to workers over New Mexico and Texas measles outbreak. The state is preparing for an incoming measles outbreak.
