PEOPLE. I know you're tired.
And I'm usually not like "please do this" but PLEASE DO THIS.
Please contact every public H5N1-concerned figure you know over this weekend about HR. 1425, "No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act ".
This horrifically MURDEROUS bill from Rep Tom Tiffany (R-WI-07) that passed the House 219-199 on Sept. 11th.
“The cats were found dead with no apparent signs of injury and were from a resident population of ≈24 domestic cats that had been fed [unpasteurised] milk from sick cows. Clinical disease in cows on that farm was first noted on March 16; the cats became sick on March 17, and several cats died in a cluster during March 19–20. In total, >50% of the cats at that dairy became ill and died.”

With the ongoing #COVID19 pandemic and #H5N1 deadly Bird Flu on the rise, let's review what we have learned over the past 4 years.
You are on your own.
No one is coming to save you.
No one but your friends and family will care whether you die or become permanently disabled.
Your employer cares more about their bottom line than your life.
Use your brain and the best tools at your disposal (masks, distancing, good ventilation, etc.)
Science deniers, anti-maskers, and conspiracy theorists will scream like toddlers and should be ignored.
Government and business in your country will benefit long-term from data obfuscation and risk denial (ignoring the problem means they don't have to spend money on it).
Assume the worst and act accordingly.
Don't give in to peer pressure - your life is on the line.
Arm yourself with the most recent scientific data and stand ready to combat ignorance when it rears its ugly head.
