3 yard protection zone set up - that's a relief I 'm sure, swans don't
get about much do they?

No doubt the will announce it is H5N1 (not just H5) next week,
afterall supermarket and farmers profits are more important than
public health.

What %age of dead birds are actually tested for H5N1?
My guess is about 1 in 10,000 or less, the country is and probably
has been riddled with the disease for weeks if not months.

All the big interests are against finding this disease.

It's just as wrong there as here. What chances do you think you have of
catching bird flu if you don't live with birds in your house and slaughter
them on the kitchen table with no regard to normal standards of hygiene?

Hint: No chance or as near makes no difference.

And you cannot have vaccine for the human version until the human version of
the flu actually exists.

And presumably the Americans didn't land on the Moon, 911 is a CIA plot, and
Tony Blair is Lord Lucan.

There does seem to be a missing sense of proportion regarding bird flu.
Salmonella is much more infectious but apart from the Edwina Currie fuss in
the 80s the tabloids don't get so wound up about it. Interesting that
necrotising fasciitis (the "flesh eating killer bug") has been absent from
the tabloids over the last few years and MRSA seems to be dropping out of
the reports as well. What are the chances that bird flu will be forgotten
when another scary bug gets into the press?

Bet you might find a drugs salesman who could convince you otherwise ;-(
