A video about Bird Flu in the States.
The wider story being the unravelling of the science monitoring due to the political state of America.
Bird flu kills about half the people it infects. But it is low risk to humans because so far it does not spread widely to humans from birds, and there is no human to human transmission.
The threat is the future threat - the day bird flu jumps from human to human. Some eminent experts believe it will be worse that the 1918 flu pandemic when bird flu finally goes human to human.
It is one of those things that statistically will happen eventually. Our best protection is robust monitoring system at the source, the kind of team you would have wanted on the ground in Wuhan at the beginning of Covid.
