[–] WhiteHotaru@feddit.de 23 points 3 years ago (4 children) Corona 2 was not on my armageddon bingo card. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] jochem@lemmy.ml 23 points 3 years ago I'm not surprised at all. Bird flu has gone form a major to a massive problem in the last year. We just had to wait for it to mutate and infect mamals regularly (it already happened every now and then). A few days ago there was also news about cats in Poland being infected. It already infects humans sometimes. No human to human infections yet, but I guess with a strain that's mamal compatible, it will come sooner or later (probably sooner). This is what happens when you put a shit ton of animals in cages together. It will not become better until we find our place in the ecology again, instead of believing we live outside it. This doesn't just apply to infectious diseases. permalink fedilink source parent [–] red@feddit.de 16 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] WhiteHotaru@feddit.de 10 points 3 years ago I was referring to the situation and not the virus type. permalink fedilink source parent [–] bossito@lemmy.world [S] 10 points 3 years ago (1 child) This can easily be worse, saddly. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] fubo@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago (2 children) We already have a distribution infrastructure in place for seasonal flu vaccines. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago And we have lots of people who refuse to get them because "I'm healthy, I exercise and I eat right." permalink fedilink source parent [–] wurzelgummidge@lemmy.world -1 points 3 years ago (1 child) It's called Microsoft /s permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] fubo@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago I thought they did software updates monthly these days. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 10 points 3 years ago* Bird flu is worse than covid-19. Bird flu is like rabies you catch by breathing. Fortunately, so far it seems it isn't transmitted to nor amongst mammals as easily as birds. permalink fedilink source parent
