Avian Flu Jumps to Mammals (Update: First human case and death from H5N2 reported in Mexico)
Admittedly, when HIV jumped from monkeys to humans there wasn’t much diagnostics so it went undetected, unknown for 7 decades
But even when we were able to detect it, we had no natural defenses to fight it
Covid is something we were much more familiar fighting and it still kicked (is kicking) out butts
Now I don’t know to what degree avian flu could be compared to hiv, but I can appreciate the concern
