    How to prepare for this shit again? I guess I can start by storing some masks, and a lot more food.

    Any advice or thoughts? I can work from home fulltime, and grocery deliveries is possible.

      The best thing to prepare is to not be fearful and to not panic.

      I suggest that everybody protest against factory farming and participate in boycotts. Call lawmakers and regulators to take direct action against these companies and their dangerous practices (and hold them responsible).

        If you pitch it as a wall around the farms, that the farms will pay for. You might have a shot.

      Stop eating meat. Stop paying for these diseases.

        That’s not possible for all of us. I have dietary issues and food allergies that keep me on a strict diet. Animal protein (and even the type is limited) is the only source of main protein I can eat regularly without getting sick. Shit like this scares me because I’m afraid I could literally end up starving to death if all the birds and fish die.

      Going to post this as a main comment but two things are true

      1. the case mortality rate is, by far, one of the worst we’ve ever seen for an influenza. https://cdn.who.int/media/docs/default-source/wpro---documents/emergency/surveillance/avian-influenza/ai_20250131.pdf
      2. we already have a vaccine for it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/H5N1_vaccine
      3. don’t panic but be educated https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5CyVi4UzKxE

        I live in Norway, so the government will do everything in it’s power to protect its citizens probably. Like it did during COVID.

        Theres no supply chain issues here currently either. During COVID pretty much everything was available besides acceptably priced GPUs

                I think so. Spit on your hands and touch all the door handles you can find. Introduce yourself with a handshake to everyone you encounter. Buy a MAGA hat and see if you can get a picture or something with Trump. Turn yourself into a full on bio weapon that exclusively targets fascists.
