This is literally the worst possible time for it to happen. If you think global trade and prices are fucked right now then just you wait.
Don't worry, just inject bleach! It worked last time. /s
Thankfully the US has a president who is deeply experienced in pandemic management and bringing society together in common cause so I should manage ok. 😭
I'm sure he's busy issuing orders and preparing a response plan (to blame Joe Biden).
This time it’s Obama’s fault.

Also worth bookmarking the CDC summary... For as long as it's up. https://www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/situation-summary/index.html
COVID2 Electric Boogaloo
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.
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
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.

Donald and HHS: A1 said fake news. This is Obama’s fault.
I wasn't expecting my bingo card to fill up so fast.
Uh oh... Please don't tell me I was correct about another pandemic...

Red counties first.
Can’t wait for the “that’s gay and fake” crowd to act like nothing is happening and if it is it’s Klaus Schwab’s fault.
A lot of innocent people would die, but there could also be some big Ws if you know who and crew all kicked the bucket by dying due to the virus or ODing on bleach and ivermectin early, rather than after four years. Thumbing our noses at mother nature by slashing health departments and the WHO contributions are just asking for trouble.
How does this site charge $29/month for a subscription? That’s insane!
They need to justify their name
