Is no one going to mention the horrific slip risk on that marble tile? Stepping on that with wet feet is a TBI waiting to happen

This is incorrect. I linked the data in my comment. '21-'22 saw the fewest flu deaths in recent memory, but there were still almost 5000 documented cases.

Edit: Totally missed that '20-'21 was missing from this data. Turns out the CDC didn't issue estimates for that season

Not really, they caught it from wild birds. There's still no human to human transmission. Stop kissing birds y'all

Frankly, there's nothing to worry about right now. The concern is the potential for a new flu variant to emerge that the public has little to no existing immunity for, however that variant has not emerged and is not very likely to emerge, there just exists a small chance that it may. The only thing you should be doing is keeping your distance from birds and getting your flu shot.

This specific death happened to an elderly person with a bunch of other health conditions, which is common for the flu. Thousands of people die from the flu every year, and it doesn't make the news. What you can be sure of is that H5N1 stories are generating clicks for the media.

Seems like they're adopting more Apple-style branding

This same story has played out countless times across every US industry

"I personally chose the price"

Is that how well-run companies operate? The CEO unilaterally decides the price rather than delegating that out to the numbers people they employ?

That there is thermal paper heavily coated in teratogenic bisphenols and thermally reactive dyes. No ink, the printer uses heat to create images.

most of the taste in chicken come from legs and skin

"Good day Mr. meat butcher. Yes I would please today like five legs and skin thank you."
