No Bird Flu Yet

May 05, 2006 10:48 AM

There's no sign yet of any bird flu outbreak in Alaska, according to government scientists who have begun sampling and testing migratory flocks in western and northwest Alaska.

Officials in Washington had predicted that infected birds might show up in Alaska by late April or early May.

But scientists in Alaska tell ABC News the migratory flocks are arriving later than expected this year and large scale testing may not begin until July.

Scientists believe the flocks in the Pacific flyway may carry the deadly virus to the lower 48 states after mingling with infected flocks from Asia.

why has noone investigated mice and rats? if u dig back in who's old files it clearly states that it was these rodents that the now called avian flu was first discovered
i have not been to their site since they became the releaser of worldwide information.....but the files may have disappeared by now.
it certainly is obvious the other reliable sites have been silenced since the who took over.
