You know all that epidemic bird flu?
This is first known human case of h3n8 avian flu (note: all flu comes from birds, it may jump from bird to pig to human but starts in birds) This is not h5n1 which has 30 to 60% death. We don't know what this death rate is because first human case.

@disk4mat I know. BUT unlike covid, this bug is not as catchy. Risk of large epidemic is low as per CIDRAP
I've been expecting this since bird flu is epidemic in birds across globe. The US has already culled over 20 million chickens and turkeys. Abd its epidemic in backyard flocks and wild birds.
