In short we've learned nothing, done nothing, and will be caught flat again. If you're not ready, get ready, because no one is coming to save you.

Oh fuck. Let’s hoard diapers, toilet papers, hand sanitizers, motor oil, and bleach flavored kool aid.

Also, we need to call it a plandemic, lie through our teeth, declare trillions of dollars worth of handouts for handful of ultra wealthy and oppose any relief for people who are vulnerable. Oh and oppose any research on cure - scratch that - investigate anyone talking sense and trying to find cure and call them traitors and foreign agents. In fact we need to ban the face diapers (except those majestic pointy hoods, of course). And one fine day in a week or so declare pandemic is all over.

Did we miss anything to get ready for H5N1?

Don't forget your Lysol syringes and your tremendously bright light.

Yeah don't forget the pox parties where people try and build natural immunity by making their sick kids cough at each other

USA unprepared for a pandemic, period. It's why I've stayed stocked up on PPE.

One can only look at the kind of monumental carelessness and stupidity shown by Americans once and conclude that it's best to stay prepared.

And I live in Missouri, the epicenter of the Delta variant, so I know people here are extra careless.

By PPE, I assume you mean TP? Shit tickets, if I may?

What a time for me to be prescribed an immunosuppressant.

Seriously. I'm sitting here twitching from my first course of Prednisone and then this article pops up. Thanks for the shitty genes, Mom.

Good luck and Godspeed. Please take care of yourself.

Thank you. I also own a flock of ducks, so I'm in a predicament. If a single bird of mine displays symptoms, I am prepared to take out the entire flock. It would be absolutely devastating to me, but I can't risk it. I do everything I can to keep my flock healthy and protected. Hopefully H5N1 doesn't spread to woodland critters, because I can't keep those out of my property at night. Deer, possums, and a gang of 3 raccoons come into my yard every night to hang out

Good. Let's go, round two baby, ride this wave all the way to the bottom

The USA is high on its own supply of "superiority" guns cant kill bacteria or viruses.

There was a not insignificant number of people that thought you could shoot at a hurricane to make it go away.

The Republicans are going to do their very best to kill as many people as possible again.
