So much news passes before our collective eyes every day that we couldn’t possibly cover it all. Mostly because much of it isn’t worth covering! But here are a some borderline tidbits we passed on, just in case.
The Great Salmon Virus Scare
We could spend hours debating which is greater — the fish? the sickness? the fearmongering? — but suffice it to say that there is a salmon virus afoot, and it is taking out orange fish faster than a mama grizzly in a spring thaw. Like most everything else, it’s our fault; confinement to fish farms means the virus spreads more rapidly among sockeyes. And by all accounts, this is far worse the Great Tilapia Rickets Conundrum of 1892. [Gothamist]
