This is depressing & alarming…

One commentator states H5N1 pandemic would be 100 x worse than COVID-19

H5N1 is mutating, cross species (birds, cows, cats) AND humans.

I’ve been watching & reading research. tThe WHO has been tracking this since 2003 & estimates H5N1 has a 50% fatality rate.

I decided to fact check this and found this reference on Wikipedia, which has a citation of the WHO mortality estimates which confirm 50% mortality rate.

Obviously the potential for another significant pandemic event is alarming.

We need to start planning and be prepared (masks etc) just in case this continues to spread.
