I don’t have a source, but I read somewhere earlier that a teen in Canada is in intensive care with it, and there’s no connection between the teen and fowl or livestock. There has been a couple of these in the last couple months. I like to think of it as the couple engine turn overs before you get the lawnmower started. There was also something about it infecting about farm I saw, which is tre bad because the pigs can host human flu and this one at the same time and possibly generate the jump.

I wonder about whether large swathes of the public are capable of doing quarantines or taking safety measures… I mean they’re definitely done with Covid, but if this kicks off it will be way scarier way fast with hospitals collapses and bodies rotting in houses, so maybe that’s enough. But honestly we’re so far into hyper reality mode that they also might not be physically capable of acting rationally or believing things that run counter to what they want to believe.
