The latest reports says that Indian Government have directed its
officials to slaughter thousands of birds around the poultry farms in
the western town of Navapur, where the confirmed cases were detected .
As the presence of virus is proved the officials said that around
500,000 will be killed . Till now around 30,000 chickens have died in
Navapur in Maharashtra state , this happened to be a major poultry
firm in the country .Initially the officials believed that the birds
must have died of New castle disease which is also a bird illness but
it was later confirmed that the death was due to bird flu only .

It has also hit Indonesia where a person died of this disease .He was
in touch with the poultry .

10 or more already have been confirmed as having died of H5N1 since it
started

The Egyptian government on Friday announced
the country's first cases of H5N1 .

CAIRO, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Bird flu has spread to birds in provinces in the
south and west of Egypt, which has launched a campaign that will include
mosque sermons to raise awareness about the virus, the government said on
Thursday

Thus it is seen that the bird flu is spreading its wings like
anything .

Yes :~(
And its going to get a lot worse
One virologist suggests we are going to have to just accept it globally - I
fear he is right
Mother Nature has thrown us a curve ball and we have failed to catch it in
time
