yes, but not the new type of flu so not really news. I don't know what it is with the media these days...

lol at "the hens at the farm are used to lay eggs which are hatched elsewhere, to produce more chickens". in that article btw. has the average intelligence of a bbc viewer/reader dropped?

I'm pretty sure they just said on the radio that it IS H7 btw.
