This headline should be dominating world news...but it's not.

[Adumbration]

This headline should be dominating world news:

 

https://www.voanews.com/a/cambodia-confirms-first-h5n1-bird-flu-death-since-2014-/6976464.html#:~:text=An 11-year-old girl,said Feb. 22%2C 2023.&text=Health officials in Prey Veng,bird flu” infection since 2014.

 

CFN is 50-60%

1 death = headline on world news

Sure

[KhunBENQ]

Found some recent articles in German news sources about the risk of mutation so transmission from human to human might become possible.

Make of it what you like.

Hopefully not "COVID nextGen".

A problem for animal farming is it anyway.

Mass culling etc. Rising prices.

You didn't list the reason why you think it should be dominating world news.
Care to elaborate?

I agree with the OP, it's important news. When H5N1 can jump from birds to humans, the next step is a very small one, human to human transmission. When that happens, watch out.

AN does have a topic running. Here: -

No, it definitely should not be.

It has been in the news.  Where does the OP think VOA got it from:

"Chetra Chap contributed to this report. Some information came from The Associated Press."

 

One day ago ... hitting all the news outlets now, but really 1 death.  Since 2003 to Jan 2023, only 240 cases of, and only Back in 2008/9 when having an outbreak, most of those cases,  all of 135 deaths.   That's a couple days of scooter deaths here in TH.

 

With a few other, differing reports, but low fatalities.  Would think, most cases, as with most viruses, aren't even reported.

and when it does, and thousands die, it will be on every news outlet. Till then, other things to get the all important view numbers.

Bird flu is hardly something new!  There have been regular panics about it over the years.
