why dont they call it the cow flu then
Because you can't just use up the easy to remember names like that. We've had bird flu, SARS, MERS, swine flu, COVID... We might need cow flu to name a different coronavirus in a few years
Cows cant fly
Duh
If you stay about 20' from a cow, the milker can't shoot milk in your face. The physics behind it are pretty clear, yes cow flu milk is airborne but with a splash mask and 20' distance, we'll have it all under control.
