Killer hornets are the latest issue we have to deal with during the coronavirus pandemic.
A deadly species of hornets from across the world has landed in our own backyard — and the timing couldn’t be worse with the coronavirus pandemic in full swing.
An epidemiologist named Chris Looney gave a detailed report to the NYT this weekend, outlining the first sightings of these giant Asian “murder” hornets here in North America — first spotted in Washington state this past fall — and the joint effort to eradicate them before they wipe out our bee population, not mention any human casualties along the way.
