What am I uninformed about? People don’t lay eggs there is no pandemic of bird flu in peopleSo uninformed.
A highly pathogenic subtype of H5N1 was first detected in birds in China in 1996, and the first human cases appeared soon afterwards. The virus diversified as it replicated in birds, and migratory bird species spread multiple subtypes around the planet. Avian influenza came to North America in 2014 and caused a severe outbreak in U.S. poultry, but the outbreak was controlled, and luckily the virus disappeared. Up until 2024, there have been almost 1,000 documented human cases of H5N1 in multiple countries, with a fatality rate of about 50 percent.
