Breaking: U.S. just logged its 71st confirmed human case of avian influenza A(H5) since the start of 2024, disclosed on November 15th.



This marks a concerning uptick in cross-species transmission events. While traditional markets might shrug this off, macro traders know infectious disease outbreaks historically trigger flight-to-safety moves—think COVID's initial impact on risk assets.

For crypto holders, worth monitoring whether this develops into broader public health concerns that could pressure risk appetite. H5 strains have spooked markets before when human transmission picks up pace.

No immediate market reaction yet, but keeping this on the radar alongside other macro headwinds.

71 cases now... This time really feels different. Will history repeat itself? --- Here we go again. Every time there's an outbreak, it's the same routine. The crypto space will be jittery for a few months. --- "Flight-to-safety" sounds nice, but let's be real, it's just dumping. --- Regulations aren't even finished yet, and now we've got this to deal with. --- Can H5 really break through decentralization? Haha. --- We all witnessed the COVID wave; if anyone dares to chase highs this time, they deserve what's coming. --- Macro hedging is starting up, and retail investors are really pitiful.

71 cases already? We really need to keep a close eye on this. Last time during the COVID wave, my contract almost got liquidated.

71 cases already? This time it's different, H5 is really spreading faster. We really need to keep an eye on this, after all, the last time there was an outbreak, the crypto market didn't fare well either.

71 cases already? If this wave of avian flu really spreads, crypto safe-haven funds will flee in no time. --- This H5 thing was already tossed around last year, now it's back again. I don't believe in this recent rebound. --- Don't be fooled by all that flight-to-safety talk. The real risk hasn't arrived yet, don't get in too early. --- 71 confirmed cases... whatever, I'd rather check if the technicals have broken support levels. That's more reliable than worrying about the outbreak. --- How long can this outbreak speculation last? I bet no one will care in more than a week. --- The whales have found a new excuse to dump again. This time they're using avian flu—classic. --- Bottom line is you still need to manage risk. I've already reduced my position by 20% and am waiting for the bottom. Don't act rashly, newbies.
