Fair comment. While worrisome, that is a long chain of events. I doubt we can predict if this will be a widespread concern for human health.
On a personal scale, the unpleasant events of the last pandemic indicate the measures needed to weather the next one. I note that I can get cases of hand sanitizer for free, and masks also. I don't know if bird flu is susceptible to alcohol sanitizers though -- some viruses are, and some are not.
