Influenza is mostly spread through water droplets, so masks should still help! Wear ya masks!
It may also spread by touching objects with droplets on them and then touching your face (we touch our faces a lot) so also consider carrying hand sanitizer and washing your hands more often.
If we get double pandemics with this one, you will *really * want to have some stockpiles as the mortality would likely be higher and you would probsbly see runs on pantry staples, masks, gloves, and hand sanitizer. Oh and preemptive runs on gas and toilet paper if you are in the US.
Obviously mutual aid is a better way to stockpile, but it also doesn’t hurt to store enough rice and beans to feed you for a month just in case. Like an insurance policy for, “what if I didn’t want to go outside for a month for good reasons?”
