One case isn’t necessarily scary. One person getting a version of avian flu that can spread bird-to-human is rough for that person but the concerning part is if that flu then mutates to spread human-to-human.

Every time it gets to a human, we have a higher chance of human-to -human transmission though. But yeah, 1 case isn’t really scary, but still notable.
