[–] SomeoneElse@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) I didn’t realise bird flu wasn’t transmitted between humans already tbh. I caught Swine flu (H1N1) from another human a decade or so ago. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Vegoon@feddit.de [S] 2 points 2 years ago* It was already, but not from another mamal. Birds infecting individuals is not the problem, we kill a few millions (58 since 2022 in the states alone) birds to prevent the spread, a few hundred humans get sick, all is well. From mamal to another mamal is the problem, once it goes from human to human its over. permalink fedilink source parent
