Original Note:
Transmission to Humans is rare. WHO documented 862 cases with 455 deaths between 2003 and 2021 https://ncceh.ca/content/blog/avian-influenza-ah5n1-2022-outbreak-canada This is due to H5N1 being poorly adapted to human spread. Currently, the risk of it going through the necessary mutations, to cause a Human Pandemic, is low https://www.nbcnews.com/science/science-news/bird-flu-mammals-scientists-on-alert-mutations-rcna69541
