I think bird flu is deadly enough that people will actually take it seriously, the survival rate of Covid was high enough it was possible you would know multiple people who've had it and survived.
But if it does kick off, it's going to kick off with absolutely the worst people in charge of managing it coupled with lunatics running podcasts who see everything as a conspiracy or are snakeoil salesman/women with a massive reach.
It's going to rival the Black Death if it happens under Trumps administration.
no it won't. plenty of infected people probably got under the radar because they thought it's regular flu. covid initially had much higher fatality too
fortunately the death rate of Bird flu is much lower. look at what's going on in the US milk industry. there are hundreds of infections amongst workers, very few died.
