Stupid swans. Is that the plural of swan? Or is it something silly like swani? Swai?

Yeah I am a little behind apparently. It hit Greece and Italy too. Poor Olympians. First they have to worry about training to be the best, next they worry about running into Bode Miller which would guarantee them getting drunk and not performing well, and now they have to worry about eating chicken. I'd be all about steaks right now.

From an article I saw, the bird migration routes into the USA come down from Alaska across Canada, having first got there through Asia (I don't hink they come over the top!). Based on that the possibilities are late-spring onwards.

I don't know what to think of this at all.

...And whats worse, none of our little feathered friends have to wait for approval or bother about the POE!

Maybe we can just deport them!

Well I'll tell you what to think...make sure your chicken is MADE IN THE USA. Go America. Yet another reason why America is better than the rest of the world.

And yes that's sarcasm.

More people die from insect stings every year in the world than bird flu (many times more).

Of course when and if the birdflu mutates into a flu that can be transmitted throught the air and from people to people. Watch out!

Well they say not to eat chicken if there's any chance of it having bird flu, so I think I'll apply the same to people. Just don't eat them if there's a chance of them having bird flu!

Yes. The problem is that in many of the Asian countries (my wifes too) if a chicken is sick you kill it and eat it. They are trying to educate people over there and stop this practice. In the West the chicken is long dead by the time we see it so we have to rely on the farmers to screen out the sick ones.

Bad idea. Europe also is an epicenter of mad cow disease... Pork seems safe, at least for the moment.

On a serious note to go with that comment, Africa could be screwed big time. The countries that are starving over there, there's no way they will stop eating whatever chicken they do have. Educate all you want, but if there's not enough food to start with, they will still eat it deadly or not deadly.

Yeah I thought about that once I said it, but mad cow hasn't been mentioned as much and so I figured eh, maybe they have beat that one. Maybe the testing is good now and it's highly unlikely that you can still get it. Then again, maybe it's not and I'm just not up to date on current mad cow events. Mooo.

Mad cow disease is a non-issue. 157 people worldwide have died from it total. Much bigger problems. I bet more people have died from shark attacks than mad cow over the last 15 years (close at least).
