I hope this will never reach at the stage where people starts to panic

Here in the UK, for all intents and purposes panic is a good idea when bird flu hits our shores
The simple fact is the NHS will not cope.
For the sheer number of cases we will experience in London, due to its density in population the amount of medical help is hopelessly small.
For example our station covers an area of a couple of square miles, we have 5 ambulances and 2 Rapid Response Paramedics to cover it, which aint going to be enough.
And if you somehow reach hospital you'll be damned if you find a bed. There are very few ICU beds, and a limited amount of general ward beds.
If you die there’s also not enough mortuaries to cater for the increased "demand" so you will be backed and waiting up even after you are dead..
As for drugs, as you've probably heard key workers will receive a vaccine, which is great
except it hasn’t been synthesised to the prospective bird flu virus, since it doesn’t exist yet, which makes it as useful as the doctor giving us a lolly-pop and telling us to be on our merry way man-handling the infected.
If it does come, my advice is to move to a rural area (possibly Wales) and hide until a clever drugs company comes up with a vaccine and charges us sky-high prices for it, making us alive, but poor.
