BBC World News HD

Has a new report
that Bird Flu has crossed over to Foxes and Otters
simple because dead birds are left
and they go to them for food.


If you are in an area and dead birds
are on the Ground
inform your council, who will clear it.
That is essential.

BBCnews text :
[The government is considering vaccinating
all UK chickens against bird flu as part of
measures to tackle an ongoing global outbreak,
the i reports. The paper says that a ban against jabs
for the virus could be lifted amid fears it will evolve
in a way that means it can be passed
between mammals.]

Well we don't want another Covid situation.

Yes but is the Chicken Injection
safe for humans to eat?

That is a scary prospect admittedly.

We had an outbreak in our area before Christmas. There was wild ducks/geese dead on the river banks :( A poultry keeper up the road from us had their entire flock culled by DEFRA. Our chickens were fine as we’re quite strict with our bio security anyway.

[Two people have tested positive for avian flu in England.]

[Both people were known to have recently worked
on an infected poultry farm and
have since tested negative.
Neither worker experienced symptoms of
avian influenza,
with both cases found during screening.

The risk to the general population remains very low,
the UKHSA added.

The UKHSA is running a programme of
testing workers who have come into contact
with infected birds,
but is also running asymptomatic testing.

The first person who tested positive
is thought to have inhaled the virus.

The second person is thought to be a
more complicated case and it is unclear
whether they have suffered a genuine infection or
whether they too inhaled the virus while at work.]

[Can bird flu infect people?
Yes, but only 873 human cases of bird flu have
been reported to the
World Health Organization since 2003.
The risk to people has been deemed 'low'.
But people are strongly urged not to touch sick
or dead birds because the virus is lethal,
killing 56 per cent of people it does
manage to infect.]
