    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.

        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

      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).

        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.

        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.

            I have IBS/GERD and the food allergies aren’t actually limiting (it’s only two things). The combo of IBS & GERD limit what I can eat in general, and vegetarian or vegan sources of protein must be eaten in very small amounts seldomly or I simply cannot eat them at all. I am unable to eat even wheat/seitan or soy or dairy. Seldom can I eat beans/lentil/nuts/seeds.
