I would only be worried about the possibility of avian flu crossing over to humans if the people in charge of public health had proved themselves to be incompetent or malicious.
@1goodtern I’m sure they’ll let us know if there’s really anything to worry about.
@1goodtern That has been my worry for 25 years. Only H5N1 won't be covid. It has about a 40% cfr rate and will absolutely overwhelm hospitals. There aren't enough ECMOs anywhere. More so now with weakened immune systems due to covid
@1goodtern @scooternan Phew. For a moment there, I thought we were in trouble.

@1goodtern Ha! Satire rocks. But maybe we need to invent the equivalent of " / s " for "satire". Soon after reposting this Tweet and when I was bot-busting followers on my account, I noticed that I lost two real followers. I think their satire detector might've been broken. Ah well.
@1goodtern No worries, I have every confidence in these good, competent people doing the best they can (for themselves) 😢
