To date, I don't think there's been confirmation of any strain of bird flu that has been shown to be able to be transmitted from human to human. If that happens, it's a very big deal because bird flu is insanely virulent.

February 24, 20214 yr This is obviously just an excuse for vaccine V2.0. I still have a few independent thoughts every so often after the covid one so they clearly need to install an update.
