Today's health news is split between two big threads: the widening bird flu outbreak now hitting mammals, and the fallout from social media's impact on kids' mental health. A New Mexico court's $567 million ruling against Meta is a landmark, while experts warn the avian flu situation is getting more complicated by the day.
The avian flu story is no longer just about poultry. It's jumping into mammals, and experts are scrambling to figure out what that means.
H5N1 is no longer just a poultry problem. With infections in cattle and polar bears, the virus is expanding its host range, and experts are worried about what's next.
This op-ed makes a blunt point: you can't vaccinate wild animals against bird flu, so the only real defense is preventing the virus from spreading in the first place. It's a sobering reality check.
A court ruling holds Meta accountable for the mental health toll its platforms take on young users, a decision that could ripple across the industry.
The $567 million judgment against Meta is a big deal. It's one of the largest court-ordered payments for tech's role in children's mental health, and it could set a precedent for other states.
Beyond bird flu, other infectious disease and environmental health stories are competing for attention today.
Congo's Ebola outbreak is now the second-largest on record, with over 4,000 confirmed cases. The true number is likely higher, and the response is struggling to keep pace.
