 Just realized I probably needed to do a summary of facts to not create fear-mongering... doubt it'll work tho

But anyway

 

What we know:

 

- This virus has been around since 2002, no human cases were detected until last year

- At this point, China has reported 3 confirmed cases, 2 in 2022, 1 in 2023, the latter passed away due to the virus

- China waited almost a month to report the death (:skull:

-  Birds are rarely affected by the virus, so it's pretty difficult to know if they're sick without tests. Same with other mammals. 

- While it has a 50% fatality rate, the transmission from human to human is incredibly rare. All 3 cases had some sort of closeness to fauna, mostly birds.

- While human to human transmission is rare, virus mutation is likely to happen

 

TL;DR

 

Good: Only 3 cases and 1 death reported in the last year and this one, human to human transmission is rare and is considered to be contained easily 

Bad: This is China who we are talking about. Everything they are letting the WHO know is a month late and it may be getting worse as we speak. They waited a whole month to report the first death (just like Corona) & since this is a type of influenza, the risk of it evolving into a more transmittable virus is highly likely (if not extremely likely). 

 

Even shorter TL;DR: Virus very bad, worse than covid, transmission within humans very rare, only 3 cases, all had a pet bird or smn, ppl close to the dead case are "fine" but china may very well be lying like co*id and it's worrisome since influenza has a VERY high chance to evolve

Not a stroke. :deadbanana: Was it due to COVID

Partly, it was side effects of a drug I took due to covid

And that person probably had an underlying illness/condition already.

 

Let the paranoia begin :clap3:

Girl plz I can't deal I swear. I just got out of the hospital from a terrible terrible Influenza type one virus that is sweeping Australia. It honestly crushed the *** out of me and was WAY worse than COVID did to me. Could barely breathe. 

 

Those viruses are mutating like crazy. Please keep this away I'm too tired :gaycat7:

F*ck being nice and trying not to sound bad, close China. I’m f*cking DONE. Them not being held accountable for the pandemic is bad enough.
