That’s a bold statement. Were you a hardline “I don’t wanna” type during COVID who plans to do the same if this becomes something, or are you medically inclined and have some inside knowledge to back that statement up?

There is the recent Lancet article but that is regarding an eventual, probable mutation should it take root in mammals and start spreading mammal to mammal. COVID mutated too, but it took 2-3yrs for a mutation to occur such that it stopped ravaging people.

H5N1 isn’t like COVID, H5N1 has been on the world radar, watched, since ~2002.
