I’ve been worried about bird flu since the early 00’s, way before it was cool.

h5n1 bird flu needs a better name if we're going to take it seriously. covid-19/covid flows amazingly well. rolls off the tongue. has a very powerful energy. bird flu sounds weak, pathetic. h5n1 is just nonsense. any ideas guys in here that can help us brainstorm?

“COVID-19” only exists because it was believed that people would take “SARS-2” seriously.

“H5N1” sounding weak is an asset. It will not get a new name.

Bad news, we replaced all the dead stupid people with new ones. Now we have more of them than we did before. And they're spreading.

H5N1 is just a little flu. It's hardly even a flu. More like a bug just going around.

I think most of the world did not learn a thing but oh well

I’ve been looking at bIrD FLu for a bit because that person Zeynep Tufecki(sp?) is worried about it, and during Covid they were one of the few who consistently got it right. Hope nothing happens, because governments won’t do poo poo
