You might see more news like this for a bit.
1) The mortality rate *is* high for human infection, and
2) it *is* spreading in other mammals, but
3) there's no human-to-human transference yet.
So how can we empower ourselves with this news?
We can advocate locally to reduce industry pressures on livestock management and to invest more in medical facilities.
We should also always promote best practices when ill.
Otherwise? Hang in there, gang. The polycrisis sucks.
@MLClark as a horse owner, I see this as a requirement to ensure my horses are up-to-date on vaccinations including flu. Horse-to-human is a likely means of transmission (jumps more easily and more general exposure) so I'm aware. And watching.
