An H5N1 influenza pandemic under someone like TFG (read: horrifically mismanaged) would be catastrophic. And probably the end of their regime.
H5N1 is *extremely* lethal - with a recorded human fatality rate of over 50%.
You can't afford to mismanage a pathogen that lethal the way COVID was mismanaged; that's the kind of mistake that wipes out entire towns, destroys any semblance of order, & topples nations.
There are rapidly increasing warning signs that an H5N1 pandemic may be on its way.
