There are reasons for optimism: vaccines and antivirals should be effective against avian influenza, and the world is far better prepared thanks to lessons learned from COVID, particularly in diagnostics and global surveillance.

Oh you sweet summer child

    Nah. On my 5 international flights around europe/middle-east this year I was the only person in mask.

    Tbh, it took me like 2 covids, or whatever that was, to get back to masking in crowded places. And it’s hard to keep masking because social pressure is very much real.

    This is stupid. We did not learn a thing
