It's not like experts haven't been sounding the alarm on future pandemics for a while. One president listened and another disassembled his works here we are.
I'm fully aware. I was just really, really hoping we'd manage to dodge the bullet long enough for sanity to fully regain control over politics. Tbh, I'm surprised this was in Mexico and not the US. Between the seemingly unrestricted farm outbreaks and the idiots drinking raw milk specifically because the CDC (or FDA, can't remember which) told them not to led me to believe that if it happened, it'd happen here first.
Edit: yes, I'm aware that the US has had multiple human cases of H5N1. This case is unique, however, because they were not exposed to any known disease vector prior to contracting it. That is what I was expecting to happen in the US.
