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.
Going to post this as a main comment but two things are true
Thanks, that mortality rate is frighteningly high. Luckily no human to human transmission so far. Hopefully never.
Might be good to have some personal protective equipment in my emergency toolkit, as people would probably go instantly nuts for that if there is a breakout of human to human transmission.
My recommendation is to honestly just do what we did during covid. The government likely won't be enforcing anything this time so we're probably gonna be on our own. Also I recommend stocking up on things asap. We're already having supply chain issues and it's gonna get infinitely worse if or when this pops off.
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
Ah I'm American so I'm probably just gonna die lol
If you get the flu just attend the next Trump rally you can find and cough as much as possible
Ethically, I hate it. Realistically, the pandemic largely happened in the US because it was used as biological warfare against the populace, hoping that it would stay in blue areas and, turnabout is fair play.
Honestly that's a good idea
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.
I'm gonna become a carrier from left 4 dead. I'll show no symptoms but I'll get everyone around me infected

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.
