Last time someone did virus function tests.
The luddites got a real hardon.
And fast tracking vaccines is now equal to literal genocide.Its almost as if someone is making counters to custom made viruses a no-go zone.

Bird Flu is here and it is likely about to go exponential.
Though, it doesn't hurt to hope its a fizzer , right ?Avoid Record and Report.
Snaffled from CDC site::
H5 bird flu (H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b) has been detected in wild birds in Australia... At this stage there is no evidence of spread to other wildlife or poultry in Australia.
...
The risk to people in Australia is currently considered low.[1] Bird flu does not easily infect people.[1] This strain has not been reported in people here.

Avoid the area – do not touch them
Record your location and what you see...
Report this information to the 24-hour Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888.

The #model shows that while eating human #meat provides calories, the epidemiological costs of disease transmission quickly outweigh any benefits and lead to #community collapse.
