Just remembering one thing: The mortality rate for humans with H5N1 is 60%
The disease does not infect humans easily, but when it does, it carries an impressive 60% mortality rate, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Most human infections arise after prolonged and close contact with infected birds. Symptoms usually include cough, diarrhea, fever, headache, runny nose, sore throat, muscle aches and more. However, no human cases of H5N1 have been reported to date. Avian influenza has a mortality rate of over 50%, far above Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), also known as atypical pneumonia, and which has a 10%, mortality rate, or the new coronavirus, which has an index of 2%, so far.
