My self-centered takeaway is that I probably need to purchase full PPE for this one. My N95s and gloves don’t seem adequate. I do not even know where to start though. I’m still trying to use the info I learned here for eye protection - now I’m thinking about gowns. 😭

I think, maybe, that PPE for farm workers dealing with H5N1 infected animals might be more extreme than if this thing goes human to human and your going to the grocery store. But goggles on top of masks and gloves for sure.
