Excerpt..

The risk to the public is low, but the more the virus spreads, the more chances it has to mutate and jump species to spread among humans. Given H5N1’s high mortality rate, we don’t want this to happen. 

This outbreak is concerning; unfortunately, communication and data transparency have been profoundly lacking. We must do better and faster — repeating the same communication mistakes that fueled confusion, distrust, and misinformation during Covid-19 is inexcusable. 

If my memory is correct it’s 40%-80% fatal, while covid was a mere 1.5% -2%. Though the few human cases have been mild disease,would it stay less  dangerous or ramp up with each mutation?  We will have to see.
