I confess, I didn't read the article. As I said, wake me up when people are really dying.

The real initial problem would be that farmers who maintain vast amount of poultry have a sick single bird and then the government comes in and demands that all fowl be destroyed, and then in the meantime, also quarantine the farm to prevent any other non fowl product from leaving...how about milk or beef.

I think ONE thing we might consider would be WHAT impact of government quarantining farms will have on our food supply?

No eggs? No fowl? (face it chicken is a cheap form of meat), IF the quarantine is STRICT, could milk be prevented from being loaded and shipped away from a farm? Could they worry that "bird droppings on the tires, going farm to farm could be a problem.

Think about the nonsense we went through recently when a person traveled abroad and they made people walk through a shoe disinfectant to kill any germs on our feed to help halt the transmission of mad cow disease. I travel a lot internationally and had to do that in MANY places.
