Agreed not 1005 prove. However, you can have H2H transmission and not have a major epidemic. the transmission could be inefficient, requiring close contact, it could be spread by bodily fluids. H2H transmission does not need to be airborne nor does it need to be quick or rapid or epidemic causing. One of the keys to showing H2H transmission is different onset dates. This shows a cause and effect. Different onset dates show that while the first case was a bird 2 human transmission from eating a dead chicken say the next case three days later or a week later has a good chance of being due to h2h transmission. Looking at the 3 dead children in Turkey. Not all children died the same day nor did they go to the hospital the same day nor did all the 10 family members get sick the same day. So playing with a dead chicken on one day can not account for the wide range of onset dates the only conclusion is that the virus had a constant source to the family and each person subcummed to the virus at different dates due to differences in the immune systems or the virus was passed in some way from H2H as one got sick the next was infected. With the number of infected people in the region growing in an exponential way I think it is clear that a H2H agent is thebest fit to the evidence.

From personal experience, I know Bird-Brain Flu infects 50% of the human population as it is now. Can it infect wild hoot-owls and California Condors- you know, those big, colorful birds that have 6 foot wingspans that coast a few hundred feet up and make very loud noises when you get close to their favorite dumpster?

Coyotes have more class. They dine on rabbits. Not rats and mice. And they silently take what they need away with them. No flu possible with organically grown rabbit!

Just wondering if this virus is spread by birds that eat trash.
