    Is there a place I can find a straightforward summary of the characteristics of this virus? Or is a lot of data collection being stalled by the CDC thus far?

    Edit: Why the fuck are we not doing wastewater data? The fatality rate in humans is 60% but with a huge fucking asterisk that milder cases probably aren’t being counted? What fucking use is that? So the fatality rate is “somewhere between 0 and 60 percent and who the fuck knows?”

      It's truly astonishing how the biggest takeaway from COVID rocking the US was that we just don't do public health as a concept anymore

      To avoid a panic. The CDC specifically told scientists that had developed wastewater tests for H5N1 not to start testing.
