Hope not. Mortality rate 60%.

There is no evidence of the strain being transmitted between humans, but Russia has reported the transmission to the World Health Organization.

Other strains of bird flu, including H5N1, H7N9 and H9N2, have been transmitted to humans before.

The H5N8 strain is deadly for birds, and this marks the first transmission of the strain from animals to humans. While Popova said the strain didn’t appear to be able to spread among humans, “only time will tell how soon future mutations will allow it to overcome this barrier”.

Keep in mind they said this about Coronavirus one year ago. At least Russia reports this after 7 cases...
Unlike China only communicating with WHO after rona spiraled out of control.
