it has already jumped from birds to mammals (foxes, minks...), and an 11yr old girl in Cambodia died from it last month....also, egg prices are soaring...what to do?...just let nature take its course and trust in "Herd Immunity"...or ask some non-political scientists (if you can find them ;-)) to look into this?...
Note that the fatality rate for H1N1 is around 1%...however, the rate for H5N1 is 56% or more...here's a more detailed report on the situation...Warning...it's from the NY Times...

I’m sure we can all agree on that, right?
released in China as a bio weapon...agreed?...then let's agree that IF the pathogen was created by alteration of a precursor to SARS-CoV-2, then its 'escape' from the Wuhan Lab was an 'Accident'...agreed?...also, let's agree that since the original SARS-CoV pathogen is believed to have had a zoonotic origin, then it is entirely possible that SARS-CoV-2 could also have had the same type of 'creation' in humans...agreed?
finally, since it would take rigorous investigation...with China's full cooperation...to establish an origin for COVID-19...and that assistance has not been forthcoming...we don't know, and probably never will know, how it evolved...agreed?...
Given this situation, as Dr. Leana Wen wrote recently, we should switch our focus toward doing a better job of understanding coronaviruses and learning from this experience with COVID-19 to be better prepared for the next curve ball that Mother Nature throws at us....to that end, we need to continue doing scientific investigations in laboratories...like in the U.S., Europe, So. Africa...and China...but with much greater scrutiny and oversight...agreed?
Now, to help you and others get a better understanding of what "The Science" is behind viruses and their mutations, take a look at the attached video on Omicron and variants in general...I'd encourage you and others to subscribe (for free) to the "Whiteboard Doctor" website...or, at least hang on after the end of this video to get even more info on this topic in the follow on segment.
Hope this helps....

He hasn't even spoken with Xi about it. To be fair, though, it's only been 26 months since Joe took office.

it has killed over 58 million chickens and turkeys in the USA and spread to mammals...what do you suggest we do about it?....from the attached article...
-----------------
Health officials are closely monitoring continuing reports of H5N1 spillovers to mammals, which have been reported from the Americas and Europe. The Eurasian H5N1 clade currently hitting birds and poultry in multiple world regions has a mutation that makes it more recognizable to mammal airway cells, including humans.

Sounds like it would be good to have people who actually work on such problems for a living...to offer solutions other than the standard Hydroxychloroquine or Ivermectin standbys....

t no doubt is a common theme.
are acceptable to an accused legislator or former President...i.e. the things that the GOP is striving for right now...
medicines and technology so we can combat illnesses there instead of here?
But when it does come here, we’re suddenly all about our rights.
