It’ll just bring the population down to a more manageable level. You know, get rid of a few more of The Poors. bUt ThE eCoNoMy ThO!

theguardian.com/…/bird-flu-strain-found-in-us-cow… - another one linked to from this article - says:

If bird flu did begin to spread between humans, it would be a cause for significant concern because the H5N1 virus has a high mortality rate. From 2003 to 2024, 889 cases were reported in 23 countries, and more than half of those people died, according to WHO. So pre-pandemic vaccines have already been stockpiled.

Tbf, those people might have been the ones at greatest risk like the elderly and immunocompromised, so the actual fatality rate in the general population would probably be significantly lower… possibly more like a bad flu than anywhere close to COVID, but it’s still not great to have to contemplate no matter what.

So I have a thought: let’s totally ignore it, b/c we all (the Elites uh I mean “everyone”, yeah totally that’s what I meant) will be safe forever, whoo-hoo! :-P
