Another bird flu pandemics? Give us a break! 

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10759897/Not-bird-flu-China-confirms-human-case-H3N8-strain.html

logged the world's first ever human case of the H3N8 bird flu strain.

A four-year-old boy from Zhumadian, in the Henan province, tested positive for the avian influenza strain, local health chiefs confirmed.

The child — who had a fever — had been in contact with chickens and crows raised at his home.

 

The virus is usually spread through touching infected birds and their droppings, or when preparing infected poultry for cooking.

None of the boy's close contacts were infected with the strain. 

China's National Health Commission has yet to provide any update on the boy. Bird flu is thought to kill up to half of those it infects, the NHC added.

Early investigations show the strain doesn't have the ability to be passed from human to human, prompting Chinese doctors to claim the risk of a large-scale outbreak was low.

@jason big money. They keep chasing after this virus. Good news the longer the virus goes on, the weaker it becomes. It’s due to Muller Ratchet, the theory that asexual reproduction by replicating is prone to error. In order to spread, they multiply fast and make errors along the way. They are more infectious but less virulent. Think how many flu strains do we have now. 

So far we have the original strain, then delta, then omicron. Now the newest kids on the block are the “B” strains, so far we have B1, B2. I heard B3 and B4 are making themselves known. None of these expensive medications they have now, expensive antivirals and monoclonal antibodies are ineffective against the B2, let alone other newer B strains.

I think the vast majority of people don’t have to worry but the vulnerable populations need to get protection. Locking down forever won’t work.
