Maybe. I never would have believed it but John Oliver gave stats on the number of birds killed to prevent the spread of the disease and it was far lower than I expected. Maybe there’s something else to it. And yes, the world is a strange place when statistics from a comedy talk show are more trustworthy than from government sources
I seem to remember hearing/reading that John Oliver has more researchers on his team than many news outlets?
For example, if this is to be believed, he has a staff of 83. I love his show and he’s great, but it’s so fucking bizarre that a comedian is doing this better than supposed “news” outlets.
