H5N1 in English Turkey Farms
old news, but relevant to Thanksgiving, I think.

I know it's not the US, but do you really think it's not here and in some of our farms? Also, everyone will be confined in rooms together for long periods, so even if people don't die from the Turkey, that AD14 virus (or even the seasonal colds/flus) has a great opportunity to spread. Fun times.
Wash everything, take care, and happy Turkey day. |

Ugggh:
From the AFP article:
Last Tuesday authorities ordered the slaughter of more than 6,000 poultry at a site near Diss in Norfolk, in the latest blow to Britain's farming industry after outbreaks of foot and mouth and blue tongue disease earlier this year.
Wild birds have already spread varients of this thing across the entire planet. It's not a regional disease, yet everyone acts like it is. All poultry is suspect, especially in Europe, Asia, and Africa. That doesn't mean it's not here. |
