Are you worried about bird flu?

Does bird flu pose a threat in your country?

A dead swan found in UK which tested positive for the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu may have died in another country and was washed up on the Scottish coast, Whitehall sources say.

Scientists are examining whether the bird was a “non resident mute swan�, Radio 4’s Today programme has learned. All the birds analysed since have been negative.

Have you been affected by the Avian Flu? Have you stopped buying chicken? Are you a poultry farmer? What actions are you taking as a result of the news? What action should be taken to prevent the spread of the bird flu virus? What are your concerns?

Indonesia has confirmed its 39th death from bird flu after tests by a WHO-affiliated laboratory showed a 14-year-old boy had died of the virus.

The death means Indonesia, the world's fourth most populous nation, is on track to record the world's highest number of deaths from the H5N1 virus since 2003. Vietnam has reported 42 deaths, but none of them have occurred this year.

For now I'm not very worried about the avian flu. I dont deal with any birds and I cook my chicken well. I think the media is making a bigger deal out of it then it should. Only thing we should worry about is when it mutates and turns into a human virus. That would really suck.

...right now I believe it is centralized to certain birds in certain countries. That's why strict policies on import birds will come about to ensure that a spead of the virus does not happen.
