So either we will soon get a data dump that's like "actually a bunch of ppl have died by bird flu and we just weren't looking for it! Oops!"
Or the virus has a very low CFR and is nothing burger for humans.
Ferret models are generally considered the closest match to humans for studying respiratory viruses like influenza.
They exhibit similar respiratory anatomy and immune responses, making their reactions to flu infections highly relevant to human outcomes.
The reactions to @VitalikButerin’s mask pic are fascinating. Why are so many in crypto averse to COVID caution?
Visionaries like Vitalik are often ahead of the curve. They adopt new trends before the rest of us catch on. Wearing a mask now is part of that forward-thinking mindset.

Feeling overwhelmed and grieving the loss of almost everything good in my life.
2023 has been the worst year yet economically and socially.
Being a shielder has taken its toll. Nothing is stable, poor AF. Career feels toast.
One thing I haven't shared is shortly after leaving a place last Jan due to roommates harrasment, like bringing over company and purposely turning off the air purifiers in the shared space then making a big deal of it, I moved then something else happened.

This graph is a time series projection of #longCOVID rates assuming 1-3 infections yearly.
This will lead to a tipping point around 2025. The implications are profound, affecting society and the economy. Immediate action is needed to mitigate the long-term impact. #Collapse
Seems like many are still unaware or downplaying the immune imbalance triggered by SARS infections 😲 We all have friends constantly battling respiratory issues, but remember, the plural of anecdote is not data.
So here is a mega thread of sick posts
Substantial evidence is mounting to corroborate the phenomenon commonly referred to as the #LeonardiEffect
Are there any sociologists on this site giving insight into the absurd world we are living in? People really are acting like its over while being actively sick.
It's wild!
I think to myself, "maybe I'm wrong" then I see a post or get text from someone saying they are sick with COVID.

Oh my, what a quandary we're in,
With seals, lions, bears,
All dying from a flu so grim, #H5N1's spreading, we must not give in 🧵
In #Peru, sea lions by the score,
Are falling ill, what's this virus for?
The #Peru National Agricultural Health Service reports that a dolphin and three sea lions found dead along the Peruvian coast recently tested positive for #H5N1.
This is what happens when you legalize the spreading of COVID-19.
Everyone gets a free license to spread whatever they want like #tuberculosis, and they kind of have a point. Not illegal for COVID, why illegal for TB?
Oh, don't worry, it's not COVID; it's just TUBERCULOSIS!

Well, it looks like the #DropletDogma has been proven wrong! #N95 masks are up to 75 times more effective than surgical masks in preventing #COVID19 transmission, according to a recent study.
A separate experiment from the study found that social distancing barely helped, with the infection risk reaching 80% after just one minute, and 99.9% after 20 minutes.

Still not sick in spite of living with sick, what is it?
In the last month, our winged-pals and gobble-tastic turkeys at multiple far-meadows have been featherly infected, causing the deaths of over 1.3 million poultry.
This is one talon-ted virus that's causing quite the flap in the food chain! #BirdFlu
But don't just wing it, this isn't just a poultry problem. This flu is spreading like wildfire and is even affecting our wild bird friends and other wildlife, including the ursine species. It's time to take action and prevent this virus from hatching any further plans!
