Yea this thing is already spread hard, check out Cali san francisco/san Jose
+ what makes this scarier is kid lives in Alameda County which is between
san francisco and San Jose 
was waiting for you to tap in.I hope I’m wrong but the experts I follow are using very “concerning” language.

We just gotta accept that in the current world we live in, a lot of people aren’t tapped in what’s going on until it’s too late
Scary as f and it makes sense. Vulnerable populations with it, are probably just trying thug this shyt out.Yea this thing is already spread hard, check out Cali san francisco/san Jose
If this doesn’t make the case for universal access to healthcare then idk what does.

It would have to mutate to be less severe for it to reach pandemic status right?
No pandemic status is based on worldwide spread, sustained human to human spread and infection rate
SARS‑CoV‑2 (COVID-19) (@covid19disease.bsky.social)
Remember the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918? It killed up to 100 million people worldwide, including 675,000 in the U.S. Now, H5N1 bird flu cases in humans are going undetected in the U.S., raising fears we could be heading toward another deadly pandemic.

That’s what I’m saying. If it’s as deadly as a 50% mortality rate it may burn out before it becomes a pandemic
Not unless it mutated to be twice as infectious but half as deadly, which still means a quarter percent of people die
The idea is currently any public health department nearby is trying to conduct surveillance. Capture all the touch points, vaccinate different vectors and control the spread.
However, the systems they we have in place aren’t nearly as robust as we think.
And collectively we don’t live in a society that gives enough of a f.
H5N1 could have been controlled. But the sacrifice would have meant a slight inconvenience to our supplychain.
You know how people were complaining about the price of eggs? Well many farmers were throwing out millions of eggs. I’ve been catching up how certain countries stopped pandemics from happening. They completely stopped the production of eggs and chicken.
Also we’re on the cusps of a super spreader event as well as a payday for the food industry.
The food industry isn’t about to make the public wary before they thanksgiving.
But this stuff isn’t normal:
Also h5n1 can live dormant in water for close to 6 months.
Theres also been a reduction in public health funds.

I work in a hospital
I swear to goodness if this shyt is as bad as it sounds I’m going to have to work on an exit plan for real.
I am NOT fearing for my life in gloves, masks, visors, etc dealing with patients another 1+ years. I cannot deal with this again.

I brought this up on a call yesterday, but it was kind of brushed off.
I get it—people tend to dismiss talk of seasonal colds or similar issues. But the language around H5N1 right now feels different.
I reached out to a younger breh I know who’s a scientist and works in an animal lab. He was somewhat aware of the situation, but after I gave him a detailed update on how the virus is progressing, he left the conversation very concerned.
It’s definitely on his radar now, and we’re planning to chop it up more this weekend.
You work in the medical field as well?Practice management. So I’m certainly not treating patients, but still interacting every damn person who enters, or dealing with staff members who have dealt with the patients. It was a lot.I work for a hospital system but I’m fully remote, never been to any hospitals.

I gotta figure this out. They joked that I was going to walk out and never return during covid.

Put it in my arm. “Scientists are developing and testing vaccines against the currently circulating H5N1 viruses, and research1 has shown that stockpiles of H5N1 vaccines designed in the mid-2000s might still be effective against more recent H5N1 viruses.”...
