Russian authorities say they have detected what is believed to be "human infection with avian influenza H5N8," the World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed to CNN.
Russia notified WHO of the possible strain. "If confirmed, this would be the first time H5N8 has infected people," a WHO Europe spokesperson said in a statement Saturday.

While still not confirmed by the WHO, the Russian health authority has said it is in discussion with national authorities to gather more information and "assess the public health impact" of the incident.
Avian flu usually affects only birds and there are many different strains of it.

now that will be a real pandemic unlike the Rona. Avian flu could wipe out more than half the earth's population. no mask wearing or quarantining will prevent it from spreading human to human.

You left out the part about the virus not being transmitted from human to human.

Read an article about this yesterday. Very mild to no symptoms and is not spread human to human at this stage, if I recall correctly.

The reported cases were workers exposed to bird flocks, according to preliminary information, the statement added.
The workers were "asymptomatic and no onward human to human transmission was reported," the spokesperson said.

Now it's Russia's turn to cause our economy to crumble with fear.

I thought COVID cured the flu? Seriously, NO ONE catches the flu anymore. EVERYTHING is COVID.
Posted on 2/21/21 at 2:45 pm to fightin tigers
there has been a new pandemic threat every year for the last decade
I fear now due to COVID we are going to be expected to derail life every time a new report like this comes out

Lol give me a break. We all know birds aren't real. They're government drones that are tracking our movements.
