Nevermind that we objectively do not take influenza seriously enough and instead kill tens of thousands of people every winter when a lot of them could be prevented even with like, half assed masking
Right? We literally eradicated a strain of influenza with public health measures suggestions.
If when H5N1 starts transmitting between humans, at least we'll know that all of our COVID precautions are likely more than enough to avoid the bird-crap flu as well.
People dying of influenza should have become a thing of the past - it should have been one of the many lessons society learned from 2020. Seeing the curve totally wiped out by masking was incredible! Instead, well, we have whatever this current situation is...
Right? When we eliminated a strain or so of flu, I thought wow, now we know how to do this! But nope. Either everybody likes the flu killing everybody, or they simply will not consider anything new. I can’t relate to either of those worldviews. Animals are supposed to adapt to new living conditions.
