    This is the new normal. We’ve been talking about raising chickens for a year now, even started fixing up the hen house. It’s time.

      You want to keep bird flu vectors at home instead of just… eating something else?

        The problem is the concentration of chickens. And they aren’t healthy birds either.

          Concentration helps spread alright, but any exposure to an infected… hang on we’ve just had a pandemic. You know this stuff.

          Wild birds are infected and dying all the time. They are the reservoir through which the infection spreads. Chickens are too controlled and, as you said, quick to die, to be good vectors.

        The birds don’t magically get bird flu from nowhere, you know

          No, they get it from reservoir species endemic to the environment. Did you think only chickens had bird flu?

    Surely the solution is to just stop testing for bird flu! If we stop testing, we will stop seeing new cases. Problem solved.

      Sure, he’ll just remove the testing process so eggs can flow freely.
