Back in the early 2010s my wife worked at a WHO influenza monitoring lab. She said everyone there was mildly obsessed with The Pandemic to come. They had facility lockdown procedures that meant workers would be sequestered away form the rest of the population to work on a cure/monitor spread. They had a staff only anti-viral cache that were not to be used for friends or family. One of the old big-wigs there thought that anything highly contagious with a death rate around 10% or greater would lead to near total social collapse: workers would stop showing up for shifts at hospitals, power plants, and supermarkets, bulk transport would stop, law enforcement would break down. early 2020 must have been an exciting year for them... actually, I bet they were really pissed off that it was a coronavirus and not influenza.

I don't want to see that progress lost. For us, those sandhill cranes are not just local wildlife. People care about them A LOT. To us, the sandhill cranes are that neighbor who does not speak the local language but they're very nice and everyone likes them and nobody has anything bad to say about them.

I thought you would say you were concerned because the Russians reported that they had discovered laboratories in Ukraine where avian influence was being chimerized to make it contagious to humans.

It's also called psittacosis - my mother and I caught this from a sick bird brushing our heads in flight and trying to land on our shoulders, in the exotic, walk-in aviary at Healesville Sanctuary in Victoria, Australia, in 1975. It nearly killed my Ma - she was hospitalised for nearly a month - and I [then 7 years old] was bed-ridden, feverish and apparently incomprehensible for over 2 weeks. This was in the days when no one used the word 'bird flu' and it was so rare for humans to catch, that even doctors could not immediately diagnose it. I don't remember anything of my illness, except sleeping as if under a spell for nearly the whole time - and losing nearly 5 kilos, which was a lot of weight for a small child doing nothing.

If a bird flu virus passes to a human who by chance also has a standard human flu, then that is the chance meeting that _could possibly_ spark a mutation of the two that then becomes transmissible, and contagious, in human beings. So rather than complaining about testing I would suggest keeping employees with cold/flu symptoms away from the birds at all times, until well after they get better.

Animal farms should be closed, especially the ones for high-risk species like birds, minks, ferrets, pigs, etc. It's just irresponsible to go on like we don't know about zoonoses and accelerate the process of virus creation.

One thing that's often overlooked about the Spanish Flu is that at that time, ventilators did not exist, nor did antibiotics (at least for the general public). It's very likely that most deaths were from secondary bacterial pneumonia, not the virus itself. If that were to happen today, a course of antibiotics would very likely get you back on your feet quickly.

I’m curious to know your opinion on necessity of animal agriculture and whether as a society we should be aiming to move on from animal farming. I’m not 100% vegan but one of the reasons why I stopped eating meat, dairy and buying new leather was finding out just how much of a breeding ground for pandemics farms can be, how routinely antibiotics are used to prevent outbreaks, and also just in how much better shape our planet would be if we farmed more plants for human rather than animal consumption. I’d love to watch a video on that! Animal rights are a very divisive ethical issue and it’s been a challenge to find an unbiased source of information on the ecological aspects

There is a very large difference between the big buisness factory models of raising protein for efficiency vs a real farm. Mink is a great example of that, mink coat,stole/hat was unaffordable as the mink were wild mink, caught one at a time. To increase customer access mink production started. Move that forward in which we buy protein and vegetables from companies cheaper than what farmers/ranchers can sell it for. Today our foods have double hits, inverse taxes and food grown/manufactured in another country on the other side of the earth transported frozen, canned or partially ripe, sprayed with antifungal, insecticides, sealers such as wax etc put into the ship containers on a boat spending week ot two burning fossil fuel to get to the otherside of the world. Then they are gathered from the shipping containers put into warehouses bought and sold to buisnesses trucked to their warehouses and put on your store shelves, cheaper than you can buy food grown on your countries land all due to big buisness factory models and inverse red tape taxes. A great example is the lowly onion from Turkey. Cheaper, carbon heavy, chemical heavy compared to onions grown 50 miles from your city. Antibiotics are for bacteria not pandemics. How do you differentiate between new leather and old leather. Carnivores have one stomach like you and herbivores have up to four to get by the defence chemicals of the plants. It sounds like plants work for your immune system, but others are very sensitive to some plants and some cannot thrive with any plant due the immune reaction. A protein (real) farm does not need flat cleared land and animals (grass fed) do not fart as much. A grain plant (real) farm rotates crops to ensure nutrients. High production needs flat land, needs it clear of plants so glycophosphate poison , then adds rock fertilzer, pesticides, then selective herbicides, then poison bug control, mass poisoning of mice, rabbits etc. Then glycophosphate is used for ripenening sequence. Then insecticide to kill spiders, anti fungus ready for transport. Even then salmonella e coli outbreaks occur. Free-trade is the enemy, because we do not see our food being made or grown, just as sending our plastics and garbage to other countries on ships through the recycling programs, China has stopped accepting our plastic garbage what does the majority of vegan vegetarian food come in, especially the vegan/vegetarian fast food???? plastic trays!!! Those cardboard paper spoons and cups are sprayed with microplastics, which slough easier, micro plastic of which are now found in the artic and antacrtic water biomes. Stop building towns cities in the valley bottoms of fertile wet land which had fauna and flora to purify and cool the water prior to entering the oceans. Build cities against on cliffs. Wanna be healthy and save the planet at the same time only eat what you can see being grown. Flora or fauna

If you feed wild birds, wash hands after touching the materials in contact with the birds, clean places, water and items regularily and have an eye on bird that behave strange/ill. If that happens, you can tell NABU or similar organisations who'd be alarmed if they got more than just a few calls/mails of that kind, and a disease among wild birds can be realised and observed early (and in most places, these people really care. They'll know who to inform further in the process, so don't worry if you have no idea what to do at what time).

Honestly, how much should I worry ... ? Not at all. There is nothing whatsoever at all that I can do to keep it from happening. If I can affect the outcome of something, I'll worry.

I’ve learned over the years not to worry about these things for 2 reasons: 1. The next pandemic will probably come from an unexpected source. 2.

Scientists have been keeping a close eye on bird flu for a very long time. An outbreak is a matter of when, not if. Given how much we know about it, how precise is our tracking of cases and the fact that we already have emergency plans prepared, I like to think the situation will be under control and end quickly when it eventually happens.

I am worried a lab strain adapted towards humans will leak out of a lab. In 2019 a researcher at the University of Wisconsin got infected with a lab modified version of Bird Flu. But the lab kept it secret and they did not follow proper quarantine measures. And for the some reason no news outlets reported this fact until this year in USA Today. Pretty scary stuff!

An infected mink + some bad luck is enough? Well we're doomed😅

I work at a wildlife rehabilitation center. We’ve been getting a lot of birds testing positive, mostly goslings and ducklings. The occasional adult goose. The people who bring them in have extremely close contact with these animals, often cuddling them and taking photos. We take protocols at the clinic to make sure there isn’t bird to human transfer of the flu but these people outside seem to have no idea of the dangers

100% but people are so easily conned

Very good, thank you. Speaking as a (retired, thank God) doctor this rightly worrying video is just the tip of the iceberg. COVID-19 as a recent example is highly mutagenic and has not gone away, we're just ignoring it. Far worse, rather than being taken as a timely warning that did relatively little harm (apart from millions dead!) the world's attitude toward 'plagues' is even more blasé than before. To put things in perspective Bubonic Plague killed up to 50% of Europe's population in multiple waves, with likely an even higher death toll in Asia. When compared to today those populations were far less dense, far less mobile, and far less reliant on infrastructure... a conservative estimate would suggest when (not if!) a similarly devastating 'plague' strikes again the death toll could be as high as 90% worldwide when secondary infrastructure collapse is taken in to account. One of these 'Bird Flus' could be that next 'plague', but is just one of a great many possibilities old and new. So... when the next 'proper' pandemic / plague strikes YOU have a roughly 1in10 chance of survival, but what will be left of civilisation when the other 9in10 have finished dying? This will happen, maybe tomorrow, maybe in 200 years but probably not longer. The idiotic thing is we have the ability to stop such 'plagues' in their tracks right now, and COVID gave us a dry run at testing that ability - we failed badly, and even worse we are now pretending that everything is fine. PS: Antivirals like Tamiflu are not the answer. Would I take it if I were infected with a 'Bird Flu' stain that might have a 50% mortality rate? Absolutely! But these drugs are far from 100% effective and are themselves not particularly 'safe' - antivirals are NOT like most antibiotics.

I remember a study in gain of function on the bird flu of 2014. They identified also that only a few missions were needed for the virus to become transmisible to humans. But those same mutations made the new virus much less lethal, even less than regular human flu. Does anybody know if they checked the same for this one?

Years ago I recall reading an article the said that when tow different viruses enter the same cell, they can create a new virus from the combination. This means that sick humans being around sick birds can be a really bad idea as it can create a new bird virus that contagious in humans. Is this correct? If so, I think it would make for a great follow-on video.

I somehow caught Avian Influenza in 2014. I have no idea how, or where I caught it. It was absolutely awful. It was the sickest I've ever felt in my life. I don't remember what variant the doctor said I had, but I honestly thought I was going to die. It definitely didn't transmit easily to other humans, as neither my wife, nor any of my work colleagues fell ill. I've had continued respiratory issues ever since, and I can definitely say it would be terrifying if a variant of this flu mutated to something highly transmissible.

You really feel the improvement if you blow your lungs clear after Canadian Winter but it takes a very high effort not just regular exercise.

In the last two months, one just a few days ago, I found 3 dead birds in my yard. After inspection, these birds did not look molested or damaged by a cat or bird of prey. I have a shelf set up on my back porch where I put out bird feed and nuts, and usually sit on the back porch daily for an hour or so watching the birds visit the shelf. About 6 weeks ago I noticed one of the birds acting as if it was having difficulty flying and then it disappeared. Yesterday I watched a birds on the ground feeding, and it also had difficulty flying. Then I saw your video and am now wondering if a bird virus is the problem? I just also realized that I have been wondering about the low count of birds that have been coming around in the last week after I put out food. In the past when I've put out food I'd hear the birds in the trees chirp calling other birds that food is out. But this last week I don't hear as many calls and see them come down immediately after I put out food. Im worried too.
