More Gain-of-Function Experiments
Legal Insurrection reports that papers are being published that claim the H5N1 avian flu is a gain-of-function lab leak.
Fortunately, I am not a bird. Try and mask all of America's birds and order them to stay indoors!
I am informed it has crossed over, in small numbers, to people.
70 confirmed human cases of H5N1 bird flu in the United States with one confirmed human death. I suspect transmission is mostly from consuming undercooked meat or egg products from affected poultry, or in people who worked enough with enough birds that they were in regular contact with secretions. But as it transmits so readily to cattle and pets, I think a touch of wariness is in order.
