Don't worry it's gonna spread around the world, China will immediately react and alert everyone and then the US will call it the Chinese Flu and acknowledge ~~it~~ all cases that appear ~~from that point onward~~ until investers determine line has to go up more quicker.
First part is basically what happened with the spanish flu
The sharp slant upwards is actually cool and good and not worrying at all /s
Wait til it shows up in China then they'll acknowledge it and blame it on the Chinese.
call it the KFC flu
chic-flu-a
Mmm chimken virus 🤤
Or the McFlu
hell yeah I like this
Fucking funny that Trump will manage another pandemic
Tbh at least he gave out cash and instituted a lockdown, however brief. As soon as Biden came in it was Back To Normal
Yep, it's funny, because as dangerous as he was and is for many populations, he was actually kind of decent at pandemics.
Don't worry, as soon as Trump is sworn in the liberals will remember that pandemics exist.
And genocides. Wow, can you believe that??
tbf democrats this time around have just decided to lean into the evil shit they were supporting before the election instead of performatively opposing it after the fact
Remember "kids in cages"? Yeah, its about to make a comeback!
We must stop them from funding the genocide!
Coming soon as a slogan near you !
What would I even do to prevent being infected this time?
Stop eating meat, which is currently the primary infection vector
Same as last time: social distance (abstinence is best, but if you must be around humans, stand away from them), keep your face covered, wash your hands at least five times a day.
are the other states not testing?
cant wait for "it's just the flu" round two because it's literally a flu
it’s just flu
Important to remember that there is already a vaccine for h5n1. It would need to be updated if it mutates to a point where human to human infections are consistent. It should be faster to get something out than it took for covid.
I obviously have no idea what it would look like if it does mutate to human to human transmission but I'm not an omega doomer about it. We cant predict when or even if a process like evolution will produce a certain result. The US and other countries will obviously let it rip so stay safe if it does.
Feels like predicting the next pandemic is like predicting the next recession at this point
Like how there's no need to because we're already in one?
In the sense that both happen at a way higher rate than what we've seen lately & we know the quiet period is purely by chance?
Yes.
Society-wide veganism via massive livestock pandemic is going on my 2025 bingo card.
I fucking wish but people would rather die
I'm gonna stop being vegan if everyone else does it!

Because it’s not coming from “bad country” and isn’t “effecting the gays” like monkeypox. So you alarmists should stop trying to control our rugged individualism and push vaccines onto us.
Without a doubt, if they do acknowledge it, it will be blamed on China 100% like the last time.

I don’t have a source, but I read somewhere earlier that a teen in Canada is in intensive care with it, and there’s no connection between the teen and fowl or livestock. There has been a couple of these in the last couple months. I like to think of it as the couple engine turn overs before you get the lawnmower started. There was also something about it infecting about farm I saw, which is tre bad because the pigs can host human flu and this one at the same time and possibly generate the jump.
I wonder about whether large swathes of the public are capable of doing quarantines or taking safety measures… I mean they’re definitely done with Covid, but if this kicks off it will be way scarier way fast with hospitals collapses and bodies rotting in houses, so maybe that’s enough. But honestly we’re so far into hyper reality mode that they also might not be physically capable of acting rationally or believing things that run counter to what they want to believe.

After everything, I would honestly just expect for reactionaries to claim its fake AI footage/images or whatever. Half this country threw a massive temper tantrum over simply being asked to wear a mask. I truly wish you're right, but I have no hope left for anything even approaching a rational response if this does evolve into another pandemic.

Welp... I'm literally building air purifiers for around my house and workplace.
Yep, I've built some already in different configurations, some using PC fans too to make it quieter. These things legit can save lives, the higher flow filters actually remove aerosolized viruses faster than HEPA.
search corsi-rosenthal box, comrades
Isn't this the one that had like a 50% mortality rate?
in theory but if it goes human to human it could be more like 5 to 10%.
i mean real spanish flu time. this one would be bodies in the streets.
But you're coming into the office, right? 
Lazy ass dead people expecting handouts. Get off your deceased ass and work
