That's what happens periodically. Think of disease like population control. A brutal way to keep life from reaching the mad max reality of carrying capacity
This flu has the potential to nuke entire ecosystems. Even bears are getting terminally ill from it.
If COVID didn't mind broke us as hard as it did the past 3 years we would try to make a new vaccine for it. But that ain't happening, if this spreads onto us we are going to ride it to herd immunity.
Many diseases have that potential. It's why your always told to get your flu shot, because Spanish flu happened in the past. Hell, COVID spread to deer already and there population is fine.
Likely, there's already progress on avian flu sitting aside while we wait for a spillover. Same shit happened with COVID after SARS 1 ripped through China over 20 years ago. We didn't bother to finish the work since there wasn't an immediate need, but it was watchlisted. Main reason we finished the vaccine so fast. >Herd immunity
You're talking about the disease becoming endemic, which COVID is in the process of. Afterwards they'll try to package the flu, cov and avian flu shots together like they did with the MMR shot and call it a day.
Don't worry, bird flu already made the cross to mammals. It's so fucking over it's not even funny. I legit think this is the big extinction event for warm blooded creatures.
Every single time this happens, it rapidly mutates to become non-fatal because healthy hosts spread these viruses further and for longer. The fatal strains are self-terminating and will be until they evolve a contagious incubation period or become a "zombie virus" where the symptoms spread the infection. Even when it's super fatal it actually isn't, it just shocks people when the fatality rate is higher than the common cold. There are worse diseases out there - like lyssaviruses.
You are now aware that mosquito-borne rabies exists. Its most dangerous potential reservoir is feral cats.

Not seen a single sick bird and I live right near the sea with 1000's of seamorons screeching
you cannot have any animal unless you inject them with poison
that include all farm animals
And they still won't ban people from having cats or leaving cats roam outdoor. Fuck, we're stupid.
>MFW living next to a bird sanctuary containing over 200 observed species
It's going to be funny if this virus makes us go blind like it's doing to bears.
Let me guess, animal agriculture's fault?
yep, originated in poultry farms. intensive animal agriculture is a fucking disgrace
I hope this fucking tanks life's numbers. Including us.
We need to call this virus the Thanos Virus.

>in mass
its very sad, i honestly couldnt care less if 50k people die in some earthquake but hearing about birds dying is always sad
Same

I dream of it being able to infect cats so any cat who kills an infected bird also dies a horrible death.
Well, that's one of the ways it's spreading to mammals.
It's coming to us soon I'm sure of it. There's just no way
Bro it's a flu

A flu that's deadly on animals as large as bears. Yeah bro
>Thinks size matters for diseases
Please take a microbiology course at your community college
theyre also dying because of wind mills and solar panels, but nobody cares
CATSISTERS DON’T LOOK…
>solar panels
Well that's a new one
I think he means solar towers.
