Reception

The Bird flu has rapidly developed into a pandemic impacting wildlife on all continents and in the ocean. It has learned to spread between mammals and is now jumping from mammals to humans. In the final stages, it will be able to spread between humans. Considering the extremely high death rate for humans (>50%), this last stage poses an existential threat to humans. In the Bird Flu VCC we aim to ensure that we are as prepared as possible before the virus reaches this last stage.

[May 09, 2026] Doomsday Clock is Getting Closer to Midnight: In January, the Doomsday clock was set to 85 seconds before midnight, the closest setting since it was established in 1947 in response to the threat of nuclear war. Sophie McBain in her article “‘The odds are not in our favour’: who sets the Doomsday Clock – and what can they tell us about the future of humanity?” emphasizes that with the wars on Iran and on the Ukraine, the rapid and largely uncontrolled development of AI and the climate breakdown all together increasing the likelihood of a nuclear war, the clock now stands closer to midnight than ever before. She asks the question of whether we can buy ourselves more time.
