European bird flu restricions being removed
Filed Under Bird Flu
It’s interesting to see that several European countries are removing the bird flu restrictions they put in place a few months ago.
I guess this is to be expected as the migration season has now finished so the threat of wild birds spreading avian flu into other European countries and the United States has now diminished.
Of course, bird flu can be spread by other means, however I would expect to see the interest in this disease slowly decrease as we progress through the summer. I expect bird flu will still occupy some of the news footage, with its continued presence in Africa and Asia, but if it is contained in the western world, then we will start to forget about it.
That is until the next flu and migratory season.
Bird flu isn’t going away, it will still be with us next autumn and early spring and I expect we will be hearing about new outbreaks of this damaging disease.
