Jeez! From the latest preliminary unpublished data, it seems that we are just one step from the new H5N1 strains found in ferrets & minks effectively mutating to cause human to human transmissions. I think that the H5N1 pandemic will start much earlier than projected! Planned?

H5N1 isn't going to jump into people unless they're exposed to sick birds one way or another, and when it does it'll be incredibly lethal and won't have much time to spread to new people. Bird shit is a vector into marine mammals, and likely humans as well.
But depending on how much immune damage COVID does in a given population, it could get bad for folks who live around birds for eggs and food in densely populated areas. I don't see it becoming a problem in America anytime soon, but in the third world where they have thousands of villagers crammed in together with lots of birds, could be bad there.
Would you share your expert opinion Dan?
