Bird flu has been spreading for years in wild birds, chickens, turkeys and many other animals. It was first confirmed in US dairy cattle in March.

(AP) (May 30, 2020) 說明中的 operating theater 就是指「手術室」,不是 *演出中的劇院。 以下這篇文章,提到 2020 年英國因為新冠肺炎病人多到難以招架,有一家醫院甚至把 all its theaters 都改裝,以容納大量湧入的新冠肺炎病人。 The UK health system is so overwhelmed that a hospital is converting all its theaters for coronavirus patients, and nurses have panic attacks because they can’t cope with the stress.
