Is there a source of material which outlines the potential steps and ordinary person could take in the event of a rapid spread of H5N1 or similar flu. I am thinking of something that outlines the risk Inc mortality rate eg compared to COVID amongst age groups. But also the practical issues one would face in the event of a rapid spread eg. are face masks a good idea as with COVID, does room ventilation work as effectively, what distance is considered reasonably safe when in contact with infected person etc. The reason I ask is it is crystal clear that if this were to happen in the UK in the near future the Government and UKHSA capacity to inform is still nowhere near good enough. Preparedness not panic would be the ultimate goal if there is such a source.
