An ounce of prevention: Now is the time to take action on H5N1 avian flu, because the stakes are enormous
  • This measure of 199 out of 200 is the US population equivalent of 1,650,000 people.

    So, roughly in the ballpark of how many COVID has killed thus far (best estimate I could find was a little over 1.2 million). Even that didn't really motivate people, unfortunately.

  • Unless the human mortality rate is much higher than COVID, this is just going to be the same thing all over again. Vaccines take time to prepare and even though this is a flu strain (which should give us a headstart), there doesn't seem to be much happening with this yet (even the US has only just started getting organised with an order of 4.8 million doses, which is a drop in the ocean if their burgeoning outbreak amongst livestock manages to jump to humans). Waiting until we have rampant human-to-human transmission to order vaccines will be too late.

  • Sovcit rebukes the demons.
  • Honestly, the third sentence where they're talking about being protected. The third paragraph where they're talking about "unleashing power" definitely confirmed it, though.

    I don't consider sovcits to be mentally ill by default (unless you consider narcissism to be a mental illness), so the opening sentences didn't sound particularly unhinged.
