What are your thoughts about H5N1 "bird flu"? Are you doing anything to prepare? Think it's overblown? (lemmy.ml)

I never stopped my COVID routine so I'm not really doing anything different to prepare but I am at least a little prepared. Going to buy one of those emergency 5-gallon buckets of dehydrated food this time around though, like next time I'm at a bulk food not as shit hits the fan.

I haven't put much thought into if it is overblown because realistically I'd prefer to see a big fuss over nothing than to see people sit back with a beer while their neighbors die. So I'm not going to treat it like we're overreacting I'm going to be pretty serious about things.
