Comment on if the bird flu started spreading between humans, how long would you need to stay quarantined before it was safe to come out??

I mean, it wasn’t that long ago that we had an epidemic and a huge amount of people just straight up refused to believe it was real.

People wouldn’t quarantine and it would never actually go away.

It’s totally unfair to judge humanity on just one pandemic when people refuse to wear masks and quarantine. We should also look at the 1918 pandemic.

  True, that’s two pandemics when people refused to wear masks and quarantine. Makes for much better data to include that. Thanks!

    Wait…
    
    We’re not talking about the 200o’s outbreak in Asia (which had human infections,)

No, definitely people wouldnt quarantine like that. But, H5N1 has a really high mortality rate. From what I can tell, a near 100%.

Not to be macabre, but I don’t mean how long would people have to quarantine to beat back the virus. Im asking how long would an individual have to hide from everyone else, before everyone else, who refused to believe it was real, and whatnot, caught the virus and just…died.
