       | It all comes down to this. All the scary H5N1 mortality numbers
       | have been from people in close contact with poultry, especially
       | ones in the developing country where they live very close to the
       | birds.

       | Everyone is just waiting for the first evidence of community
       | transmission then we can panic buy toilet paper like its 2020.
       | (if that "disease X" doesn't make it first).
