In seeing all of these stories about bird die-offs and culls something occurs to me. If the Flu is going to be like the Flu from 1918. Should not there be a record of such die-offs prior to the 1918 Flu epidemic. I should think there would be some comment somewhere. On a lighter note I smell a gov't bailout of Tyson.

That's really sad.  At least they won't have to worry about getting that bird flu.

There weren't large scale poultry farms in 1918. Large numbers of families raised a few chickens apiece. Doubtful, with the war going on, that anyone would have noticed local die-offs.

I think there was more concern about other major die-off prior to the 1918 influenza pandemic, namely World War I.

At first I thought it said "A paltry 1,000 found dead in Macedonia."
