And when & if the bird flu ball gets rolling, we'll want to be able to assess outcomes. A stair-step chart is a good way to assess general risk (based on mid-pandemic data from COVID-19 data ca. summer 2021).

Severe Avian Flu on the horizon? Nobody understands exposure risk, so it helps to have a chart. Here the 1st row of #'s are "new cases" per 100k people w/ an assumed 9-day contagion window, & an undercount coeff. of 5x (accel. spike in cases). See the "Alt Text" for the formula.

If you can't exculpate yourself at least plead the fifth.
