i am pretty sure that nobody is at any point going to get bird flu from cooked meat
Not yet anyway.
viruses aren't magic and should be denatured by the cooking process. If you're eating beef tartare sure you're fucked but... that's why we cook things
No, viruses aren't magic. But neither is cooking.
There are viruses and diseases that can remain present and transmit from the meat even after cooking.
if you are cooking it to the proper temperature then no, they won't, their proteins will be denatured by the temperature of the cooking process
h5n1 survives for like, a day at room temperature
anybody getting sick from "viruses in the meat" will be getting sick because it was improperly cooked
so if you're really super worried stop eating your beef anything less than medium I guess but for real, it's dumb to worry about, whenever this pandemic starts it's going to be from people infected through like literally just working with the fucking animals
Of course it'll start with people working with the animals, I agree. It already has.
We just still don't know how this might mutate, for example, if it transfers to pigs and back. But, look, I'm not a biologist and I'm not going to pretend to be one. I'm not sure if you're a biologist. My girlfriend is a biologist, she just goes to a different school so she isn't on Hexbear, and we just want to be careful as this thing progresses. We are already going through one pandemic that the world totally mishandled so it doesn't hurt to be cautious.
you're misunderstanding the cooking process. it literally kills bacteria and virii; that's kinda the point of cooking food.
Can you imagine how insane the gut bacteria our hominid ancestors used to have back before we discovered fire could cook meat? I think about that whenever I am cooking something that requires a thermometer
We probably had like miniature full blown wars between our bacteria and whatever was on our food. Like some sci fi alien invasion of a million enemies and our little gut buddies put on their helmets and go "let's get 'em boys!" And then millions die on both sides.
Diarrhea. Diarrhea all the time.

shidd and fard outta my doodoo ass just like
ancestors but food hot now
The road to apex predator was sharded by doodoo asses
Cooking isn't magic but it is science
And science says when you heat a bacteria/virus/whatever to a certain temperature that thing will die
