Most of these Americans will be our most vulnerable: older Americans, the youngest children, and those with chronic diseases.

, also provides evidence that African cattle made it to the Americas at least a century earlier than historians realized.
The timing of these African imports—to the early 1600s—suggests the growth of cattle herds may have been connected to the s...
