I would not underestimate this particular threat. Under a more competent administration I would at least worry slightly less. But the levels of incompetence in positions of power have me genuinely worried. This is a real threat that we have carefully managed since the Nixon administration (IIRC). If it makes its way here it will wreak havoc on livestock.
What is this the new African killer bee scare? They’re tracing it by the mile?
You probably don’t have anything to fear, I think 12 people got it in the '72 outbreak, but it can be brutal for livestock.

Oh yeah I remember that old horror movie about the killer bees. The Swarm. Scared the crap out of me as a kid.
Is that the one where the bees cause a nuclear meltdown in Houston or something?
They cause a nuclear explosion even though the power plant should only be able to go into meltdown.
