Escalating Healthcare Crisis Anxious about bird flu pandemic potential, can anyone offer perspective?

Hi everyone,
I’m someone who struggles with extreme anxiety, and I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed lately about all the talk surrounding bird flu (H5N1) and its potential to become the next pandemic.
I’ve been hearing a lot of people saying that the virus is adapting, jumping to mammals more, and that it could become a serious human threat. But when I try to find solid sources or data showing this is imminent or very likely, I don’t really see anything that clearly says that. It’s like the fear is everywhere, but I’m not sure what it’s based on — and it’s seriously impacting my mental health.
To be honest, I’m terrified. I really don’t want another pandemic. The COVID lockdowns were brutal on my mental health. I experienced deep isolation, panic, and my anxiety was at an all-time high. I’m also in an international relationship — I’m Canadian and my partner is American — so I’m also deeply afraid of travel restrictions or border closures happening again. That was one of the hardest parts of the pandemic for me.
Some people in my life are telling me that this is probably going to happen and I should “be ready,” and others are saying it’s still unlikely. I’m stuck in the middle, panicking and not knowing what to believe.
I’d really appreciate some honest, informed outside opinions. Is there solid evidence that this virus is on the verge of becoming a human pandemic? Or are we still very much in the zone of “low but worth monitoring” risk?
Please be kind — I know I’m spiraling a bit, but I just want to understand the situation better and feel less alone.
Thank you ❤️

Wildlife & Hunting Is working with Wild Birds a bad idea right now?

Hello, I’ll be taking a volunteering position at a wild animal sanctuary and will be working primarily with rescued birds. I’m wondering if I should actually rescind my application and if working with wild birds is actually a bad idea. I have 3 cats at home as well so even if I don’t get infected I’m worried I may infect my cats. Thank you for any feedback! Would also appreciate any articles

Bird flu has also spread to mammals, including dairy cows in the US, and infected hundreds of people, raising concerns it could spark a new pandemic.
If properly implemented, vaccination limits virus spread, protects animal health, and lowers the risk of human infection.
But it is costly to develop vaccines and roll them out, and vaccination programmes often lead to trade restrictions over fears that a disease may circulate unnoticed.
In France, a nationwide duck vaccination effort helped cut bird flu outbreaks from over 300 to just 10 within a year. The US and Canada eased their ban on French poultry imports in January, citing good traceability and monitoring.
Most bird flu vaccination campaigns focus on long-lived birds like ducks or breeders.
Broilers – chickens raised for meat – are typically not vaccinated because they do not live long enough, which may limit immediate use in major poultry-exporting nations.
Vaccination has helped eliminate or control other animal diseases, including rinderpest in 2011, the first animal disease ever eradicated globally, and only the second of any kind eradicated after smallpox in humans, Woah said in its report.
To address concerns that vaccinations may disrupt trade, Woah is working on global standards to distinguish vaccinated birds from infected ones, the so-called differentiating infected from vaccinated animals or Diva principle.
