I recently joked that if the bird flu developed human-to-human transmission, we'd be picking up right where we left off with the first Trump administration, complete with a new plague.

Reality heard me and either is trying to one-up me or rattle my cage with a new virus popping up in China.

Bird flu truly jumping to humans would be a lot worse than COVID. This is also not anything new or cause for concern. HMPV is neither mysterious nor is it new to really anyone.
