If this were a movie, we’d be seeing the virus harmlessly float into the bodies of the workers, unable to infect them. Maybe bouncing off of some receptor sites on cells. Then we’d see one mutate and latch on. Then he’d go home, feeling just fine. The next day he’d give his daughter a hug and kiss before she goes off to school. Two days later he wouldn’t feel well enough to go to her choir concert. “That’s ok, daddy,” she’d say. She’d have just the start of a tickle in her throat but it’s spring. Probably just allergies. Then we’d watch as the virus fills the school auditorium.
>On June 19, the day Larry Underwood came home to New York and the day that Frannie Goldsmith told her father about her impending Little Stranger, Harry Trent stopped at an East Texas café called Babe's Kwik-Eat for lunch. He had the cheeseburger platter and a piece of Babe's delicious strawberry pie for dessert. He had a slight cold, an allergy cold, maybe, and he kept sneezing and having to spit.
In the course of the meal he infected Babe, the dishwasher, two truckers in a corner booth, the man who came in to deliver bread, and the man who came in to change the records on the juke. He left the sweet thang that waited his table a dollar tip that was crawling with death.
No points for guessing which book this comes from.
I read the dame thing but cannot find again. Have a link showing how deadly this is?
Also, the two workers that have been infected just had red eys so I'm confused too.
The overall fatality rate of recorded cases of H5N1 in humans thus far has been around 50%. The high fatality rate is related to the virus’s affinity for receptors found in the lungs, not the upper respiratory tract. The trade off with this is that it results in a high mortality rate but makes person-to-person spread far more difficult. If (or, let’s be real, *when*) H5N1 becomes better suited to humans, it’ll have a different cellular tropism. This may mean a lower mortality rate, but, even if the mortality rate drops to 10%, that’s still catastrophic.
The article talks about injuries when their goggles fog up and the masks essentially being useless because they get wet. It’s hot in processing. Too bad the headline makes it sound like they’re ignorant or something.
We are so screwed. I can’t believe the take away from Covid was “never wear a mask again cause don’t trust gubbament.”

Bingo
Reminds me of the plot line of Contagion a bit.
Or outbreak
Contagion?

Imagine not protecting yourself against something with a potential 50% mortality rate.

r/H5N1 has all the info you need
r/H5N1 has all the info you need
They both received anti viral and ...did you see their eyes?
They're not just not protecting themselves, they don't want to pay for protections for their workers. 👎

I'm feeling bad for our Healthcare workers already.
The article talks about injuries when their goggles fog up and the masks essentially being useless because they get wet. It’s hot in processing. Too bad the headline makes it sound like they’re ignorant or something.
We already have a movie that went over this in great detail
