Remember the bird flu? It's still there.

With all the focus on the H1N1 pandemic flu, the bird flu has taken a back seat (very far back) but it's still very much there and continues to affect people in Asia and the Middle East.
The big news is still H1N1 - it came out today that a US turkey flock in Virginia has been diagnosed with H1N1 - as well as the fact that the flu pandemic in the US seems to have reached its peak and is beginning to wane. However, recent reports show that people are still getting the H5N1 bird flu from sick chickens, particularly in Indonesia, Egypt, Vietnam and China. This is the same bird flu crisis that started in Asia in nearly 2004, has yet to be fully controlled and probably never will be.
Egypt was affected later, but still continues to struggle with the bird flu, which probably explains why they culled the country's entire swine herd right after the H1N1 pandemic started this year. Read the full blog on AnimalAgNet.
