    he probably wouldn’t even die, he’d just spread it to as many people as possible so he can turn it into a global pandemic and kill off the “undesirables”

      P sure bird flu is less severe than your bog standard flu in humans, it’s major risk is the damage to the food infrastructure.

      That is to say, I get what you’re getting at, but, thankfully, the risk of another global pandemic with the scope and damage like with COVID-19 is incredibly low, or at least that’s what my buddies in the medical field are saying.

      Edit: well dang it might be more dangerous than I was led to believe

          I’m thinking now that particular line may have been dripping with their personal brand of deadpan sarcasm and I missed this by hearing it second hand.

          This has been a great example of learning about something by being wrong about it on the internet, though

            Thank goodness, I hope you’re right. I have family working at various licensing boards, and I’ve been hearing of too many medical professionals completely ignoring their microbiology or ethics classes and peddling conspiracy nonsense.
