I'm seeing that they are abandoning seniors, possibly in the hope that they die off in the upcoming bird flu and coronavirus outbreak.

Claiming another outbreak from this particular source is disingenuous. The source material literally says:

The study itself noted that the virus has significantly less binding affinity to human ACE2 than SARS-CoV-2, and other suboptimal factors for human adaptation suggest the "risk of emergence in human populations should not be exaggerated."
