- OKRainbowKid 2y agoI was expecting conspiracy theories, but I'm surpzto see it didn't even take more than 2 comments for the first one to show up. Hats off to you! Personally, I'm still waiting to suddenly fall dead from the 3 doses of poison I was injected with. I'm overdue by a couple of years already...
- daghamm 2y agoGreetings! Fellow dead man walking here. I think the bird flu outbreak 10-15 years ago was fought so efficiently it created a group of people questioning if it ever was a real problem. My theory is that this was one of the reasons covid was not taken more seriously in some places at first. Oh well, I said my piece. Going back to my deathwatch now. Please remember me for my insightful comments on various Internet forums.

- Suppafly 2y agoDid you miss the whole first part of the article talking about how cows are getting it? Once something moves from birds to cows to people, it can pretty quickly spread among people. Just because we've only had 3 or 4 documented cases in the last year doesn't mean that there aren't a lot of more or that there isn't the possibility of a lot more.
- michaelmrose 2y agoFlu evolves quickly and swaps components with other lineages when present in the same infectee. Current stain doesn't spread personal to person at all but has a very high morality rate perhaps as high as 25-50% with treatment.this is 25-50x covid. Hopefully if we do get a variant thereof that passes person to person it is also more like current flus in terms of mortality. Keep in mind that the worst case scenario is similar mortality and community spread. This nightmare scenario could see a lot of systems collapse before we could develop a vaccine. This is the appropriate time to work on mitigation.
