Bird Flu scare

In Bombay India, Farm workers and Health officials, killed thousands of chickens and other poultry items, on Sunday, after hearing that the day before a poultry farm owner was killed. The farm owner was said to have had the bird flu symptoms, but the assumption was not confirmed. The bird flu remains to be a scare in the whole world. In Italy, six swans and one duck were found dead of the H5N1 bird flu, because of the recent findings of bird flu in Italy, poultry selling in Italy has dropped 70%, if not stopped many of the poultry owners in Italy could lose their companies. Another country that joined in killing birds to stop the spread of bird flu from infecting more poultry, was Germany who killed many birds on a Baltic Sea island to prevent bird flu from spreading. France with India on Sunday said that they had both recieved for the first time a case of the bird flu within poultry. The bird flu has killed 91 people since 2003 most of the cases were recorded in Asia, and still the threat of the bird flu becoming a pandemic still makes the world cautious and scared. Iam glad many countries have taken certain precautions to avoid the spread of the bird flu, hopefully a pandemic will not happen, we can only hope that God will keep us safe.
