I think until H5N1 reached human to human transmission and has R>1 there really isn't much change of widespread infection.

Right.  The risk is that if people drink raw milk and work in dairies, then there are about 600,000 chances every day for a strain of H5N1 to jump from cows (or cats) to people.  And if domestic cats can get it, it quickly becomes millions a day.

The chance of any one cross-species infection becoming human-transmissible with an R>1 is infinitesimal.  But that infinitesimal number multiplied by millions might be more than infinitesimal.

Agreed,

"The EV Euphoria is dead"  A self inflicted wound of OPUD, when most expect a new product to UPOD. The range inversion to a MPG comparison should have given us a clue.

Right.  But since it MIGHT have risen to 45%, it has really dropped by 5%!  MAGA math.

And from Kelley Blue Book:

Americans registered 14% more electric vehicles in April than in March, according to data firm S&P Global Mobility.  The news comes after EV sales grew more slowly than expected in the first quarter of 2024. It underscores that 2024 may be a volatile year for the nascent EV market.  “The double-digit increase for EVs outpaced the 7.3% gain in the overall light-vehicle market,” says industry publication Automotive News.

So EV sales are now growing twice as fast as gas cars.

What you are forgetting is that nearly half of EV buyers go back to a normal vehicle for their next purchase.

“Approximately 46% of Americans who own an EV want to go back to a standard vehicle for their next purchase, citing issues like inadequate charging infrastructure and affordability, according to McKinsey’s study”

Those highlighted words don't mean the same thing. Even if you have an MBA.
