Bird Flu

A virus not normally meant for you jumps across. From the barns, from the wild birds, from a world that is not really yours, a pathogen appears and finds a host in you. Fever, chills, a dry cough rising from the depths, a weakness that feels different from an ordinary flu. And in the background, a flicker of deep fear: what if this virus changes? What if an isolated case becomes a wave?

Medically, bird flu is a zoonosis — a disease that passes from animal to human. Rare in humans, devastating in poultry. When it strikes, it is serious. Conventional medicine focuses on transmission routes, vaccines, and pandemic prevention. Psychosomatically, however, a different question arises: why this virus, which essentially comes from another world? What are you seeking in contact with a pathogen that crosses the boundary between animal and human? What wants to show itself?
