So I am assuming that you are saying that the pandemic would arrive in North America not by way of some infected person in South Asia getting on a plane and flying here, but because our ducks would get the disease first and it would leap to North American residents? Am I understanding you correctly, Henry?

This article that you cited says that bad farming practices, crowding and customs like drinking raw duck blood are more problematic than herds of wild ducks: abcnews.go.com Also, on the google newspage you shared, one little blurb says the cool season in Asia, where the virus is most easily spread, is just ending. Other articles have said the season where the virus is spread most effectively is just beginning. And I see Canada is readying a vaccine of some sort within 20 months. So I am wondering why all the contradictory information, and when would you expect this disease to spread seriously outside South Asia?
