This virus has incredibly high fatality compared to others, she was still hospitalized in critical condition in Durango when the news broke yesterday. If she does survive then I'll be filled with surprise and joy, but I'm not betting on it. People need to know the stakes at hand.

Type A H5N1 influenza has been spreading through animals and some people in the United States. There have been 70 cases in that country since during the past year, according to the World Health Organization, though researchers and studies suggest that’s likely an undercount.
In Mexico, the girl was in serious condition in a hospital in Torreon in the neighboring state of Coahuila, the health ministry said in a statement Friday. It said she had initially been treated with an anti-flu medication.
It was not known how the girl contracted the virus. Investigators were testing wild birds in the vicinity of the girl’s home, the statement said.

The Canadian teen mutated to a human to human form, but she did not spread it forward.
It’s coming. We just keep rolling the dice.

i always check to see if human-to-human transmission has occurred yet or not.. worried of the day when it will. i hope it doesn't happen. we are not going to survive anything deadlier than COVID. we are still in the midst of the pandemic and people act as though shit went back to normal. i hear "back during covid" all the time in conversations and have to dissociate so i don't correct them with an emotional outburst. there's simply no way we make it through a virus with double-digit mortality rates without long-term societal and financial damage.

Few people mean this literally. We all know covid is still around and will be quite possibly forever. What it means, depending on context is "during covid lockdowns" or "during covid restrictions" or really just 2020.
It's not a pandemic anymore, it's endemic now. Get both your shots every year now. Covid isn't the new flu, it's flu's new buddy.

There's no particular reason to believe this was spread human-human.

I wonder if someone with gif skills can make one of the final scene in that movie where Bond is standing there waiting for the missiles to hit and one missile is tariffs , another is the next pandemic, and another is a breakdown of the geopolitical world order.
I wish I had the skill but I don't.

Tell me you’re USanian without telling me.
