Well, it won't be Covid-25, it'll be H5N1 bird flu, which so far has a mortality rate of 50%-60% in people and damn near 100% in birds and 70% in cats. Covid-19 was around 1% and killed millions.

Even if bird flu is more around 30%, that's an insane number.

The bird flu vaccine has mostly been developed and iirc is available in some European countries. We have a vaccine here too but it hasn't gone to trial.

If you get that vaccine or not may very well be life or death.
