I wonder if people aren't taking H5N1 more seriously because of the upcoming election? The incumbent is more likely to be voted out of office if voters think we're headed towards another pandemic.
Also "H5N1 can result in severe disease." If 6/6 ferrets died after eye or respiratory exposure, isn't H5N1 something far worse than "severe disease"?

As mentioned, these ferrets were immune naive and are notoriously susceptible to Avian viruses. I wouldn't put too much stock in this.
