Swine flu outbreak

[Somebodyimportant1]

Is anyone else wondering or bothered or is it just me?

A few weeks ago, swine flu was discovered and it's of birds were culled. I have not heard anything on the news about it and wondering if it is safe to eat any type of bird. & wondering why nothing is being said about it. Have they decided to keep things quiet because they Dont want farmers to lose money?

Is it not bird flu rather than swine flu?
It is on the BBC news site and anyone with birds have to keep them in now

Eh? I think you have a few crossed wires. There is outbreak of avian or bird flu. It is nothing to do with swine flu.

Swine = pigs

Are you seeing flying pigs?

What are you wanting to cook with the swine @Somebodyimportant1 ? I think the flu will die in a oven.

🤔🤔🤔 well, all I can recall a few weeks ago was that a form of avian or swine flu broke out and it was reported that over 1500 turkeys would be culled somewhere on the southeast of England

Swine flu is pigs. Turkeys are not pigs, they’re birds.

If swine flu has jumped species to turkeys we're in serious (pig) hit.

I do remember reading about some kind of avian flu recently, possibly an isolated case. Have you tried a Google search?

It was bird flu.

The link that dementedpixie put up pretty much explains it.

Calm down everybody and read t'link. I think bird flu is the least of our worries right now, unless you're a poultry farmer of course.

A more updated link. Seems some wild birds affected too. The strain doesn't seem to have affected humans though which is good.

Fuck the tiers, if no one can have pigs in blankets there’ll be riots.

Bird flu strains (H5N2, H5N8, H5N5, H5N1) - don't tend to infect people
Swine flu is H1N1 and does infect humans
