I'm speechless


I think it has to be pointed out that there has been no human to human transmission found. However, I think 2/5 people did not have direct contact with poultry or it has not been found yet. So who knows the actual assessment of risk here. However, it is of course extremely concerning that it has a fatality rate 50 to 100x that of Covid 19. If this does mutate into the human population, we would hope that it would have a tiny r0. Even still, it would be great to have an informed perspective on this which is why I was posting it. In truth, I was hoping someone well informed would come out and say this is nothing to worry about, but I don't want to be too naive...
