It’s spreading rapidly and it’s expected to be here by the end of the year:
Though the virus also could mutate into a harmless strain, scientists have recently found that it has infected domestic cats and a stone marten in Germany, increasing concerns over its ability to cross into mammals.
“Something generally disturbing is going on at the moment,” Nabarro said. “It’s certainly in the bird world, and it’s pushing up against the human world in a serious way.”




Ladies and Gents, the fluish princess!
Just to avoid a bit of confusion here: The cats in Germany have *not* been found transmitting the virus. They contracted it by direct exposure to/ingestion of (blood, flesh) infected birds.
Thus, while deadly, the virus isn’t contagious among mammals (yet?).
Nevertheless, the virus is *very* aggressive within a host and the cats have been found with very high concentrations of the virus in their eyes and sinuses (compared to other deadly viruses).
The flu will arrive just in time to lock us up in our homes with fear so the current bastards can stay in power.
