A NEW highly pathogenic subtype of avian influenza, also known as bird flu, has spread from birds to minks and blue foxes at at least five fur farms in South and Central Ostrobothnia. According to Helsingin Sanomat, the Finnish Food Authority has confirmed that the farm animals were infected with the subtype H5N1, marking the first confirmed transmission of avian influenza to fur-bearing animals in Finland.
Corona 2 was not on my armageddon bingo card.
Bird flu is an influenza virus, not a corona virus. Thus the “flu” in “bird flu”.
Also, Covid-19 wasn’t Corona 1, we already had SARS, etc.
I was referring to the situation and not the virus type.
This can easily be worse, saddly.
We already have a distribution infrastructure in place for seasonal flu vaccines.
And we have lots of people who refuse to get them because “I’m healthy, I exercise and I eat right.”
