Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Idk, but I'm suddenly having the same gut feeling I had in February 2020. I bought a bunch of non-perishable foods at that time, thinking that if it turned out to be a nothing-burger I would just not have to shop for several of my pantry items for a few months. Of course, March hit, and I was very thankful I didn't need to visit the grocery store for pretty much the entire lockdown, and even when I did it was only because I was getting sick of eating the same things for a month straight.
Anyways, looks like I've got some extra grocery shopping to do this week
BTW, masks are really cheap in bulk on Aliexpress right now, and bird flu or not, we can be sure that Covid will surge again come spring/summer.
Yea I was decently stocked up right before the lockdowns by chance, not even thinking I'd need to be. Luckily one of the things I stocked up on was toilet paper because who would've guessed that that would be one of things in short supply
Gonna be the nerd with a face shield fr
