Conclusion
H5N1 was discovered in chickens decades ago, a flu virus that would forever change our understanding of how bad pandemics could get—a flu virus that appears capable of killing half the people it infects. Imagine if a virus like that started explosively spreading from human to human. Consider a pandemic a hundred times worse than COVID-19, one with a fatality rate not of one in two hundred but rather a coin flip of one in two. Thankfully, H5N1 has so far remained a virus mainly of poultry, not people, but H5N1 and other new and deadly animal viruses like it are still out there, still mutating, with an eye on the eight-billion-strong buffet of human hosts. With pandemics, it’s never a matter of if, but when. A universal outbreak with more than a few percent mortality wouldn’t just threaten financial markets but civilization itself as we know it.
