Bird Flu Pandemic Would Be One of the Most Foreseeable Catastrophes in History

During the Covid pandemic, Turkish sociologist Zeynep Tufekci was consistently ahead of the curve, able to point out things clearly that others didn’t see (or didn’t want to see). So I’m turning to her to better understand what to make of all these recent reports of Bird Flu cases in humans. «Almost five years after Covid blew into our lives, the main thing standing between us and the next global pandemic is luck.» Not very comforting.
