The Rules

Covid has a mortality rate of about 3% while H5N1 has a mortality rate of about 56%.
If it starts spreading from person to person and it has an r value similar to Covid, we're fucked.

Probably not. If a virus is too deadly, it kills its hosts before it can spread. That's why SARS didn't turn into a pandemic.

It will however fuck all the raw milk people.
