Hong Kong authorities said on Friday that a dead chicken found in the southern Chinese territory had tested positive for the deadly H5N1 strain of the bird flu virus. There were no poultry farms within three kilometres of where the dead bird was found, but warned farmers to be on their guard against the disease. Laboratory tests had confirmed that the chicken found floating in the sea off Hong Kong on March 2 carried the deadly strain.
Well, it seems mysterious to find dead birds dying of H5N1 virus whereby the surrounding do not have any farms.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, we need to be on guard against the H5N1 virus. the antidote "TAMIFLU" is the only vacine capable to fight against the H5N1 virus.
If the disease spread, it may end up like SARS whereby everybody will stop going out and be quarantine at home until the cool off period.
The vacine will surely become very expensive.
