TL;DR Summary

Lawmakers are demanding answers after it was revealed that the USDA is collaborating with a Chinese army lab to make bird flu viruses more dangerous to people, as part of a $1 million project. The research involves infecting ducks and geese with different strains of viruses to make them more infectious and studying the viruses' potential to 'jump into mammalian hosts.' Concerns have been raised about the potential for the research to increase the transmissibility of bird flu viruses and the biosafety levels of the experiments. This collaboration has sparked worries about the possibility of creating new lab-created virus strains that threaten national security and public health.
