The rapid spread of Bird Flu uncommon among chickens and other fowls has caught the attention of the global health. The flu is coming, fast and fury from Asia. It has landed in Romania, Europe and nothing can stop it's spread to Africa. Every continent is raising the alarm of it's potential pandemic and it's sudden death syndrom but IS AFRICA or AU READY FOR IT?

WP1,

Apparently ur country is not yet ready.

quote:
The spread of bird flu in Nigeria could spell disaster for the region, the United Nations agriculture agency has warned, as it changes its advice.
The FAO is now recommending vaccination because the current strategy of containment and slaughter of at-risk birds is not working, it says.

The H5N1 bird flu strain has been found in five states and the capital, Abuja.

Large scale bird deaths are being investigated in another three states. No human cases have been recorded.

Many of the chickens are being suffocated using plastic bags, to avoid the risk of contamination, reporters say.
