Ever see the movie Contagion? Well in that movie the mortality rate of the virus was about 20%.

Right now H5N1 is over 50%, and those stats are from before Covid weakened billions of immune systems.

Ventilation/HEPA filtration is to prevent long range transmission of COVID, and extreme concentrations of infectious aerosol for the most part.

You definitely need a properly fitted respirator at conversation distance… and personally I wear one whenever I am in a building that…

A new Covid wave is probably coming in England. That’s our tentative view after looking at all the available data. At the moment, Covid levels appear to be roughly the same and the risk of meeting a Covid-infected person in your everyday life remains HIGH. buds.org.uk/covid-19-risk-…

We're into another soup season - a messy, hard to predict wave with a half dozen competitive variants, the next generations of JN.1. They're all growing fast, it's just a question of which gets the best distribution.
