"A dead swan in Derry tested positive for bird flu...

This is not news to people who keep birds. | |||

"Influenza that infects birds (like H5N1) does not readily/easily infect humans, while swine influenzas (like H1N1) might more readily infect humans. The reasons are as follows: Birds, humans and pigs all have receptors in their respiratory tract that are the entry point for influenza viruses. Birds have a very different type of receptor, whilst humans and pigs have very similar receptors. Bird flu is only going to go pandemic and infect humans readily if it mutates very significantly. Pigs can be the incubator for this because pigs do also possess similar receptors to birds. This is why H5N1 did not go pandemic and was restricted only to people who have prolonged and significant contact with birds, whereas H1N1 swine flu did go pandemic in 2009/2010." Thank you, I did not know this! | |||

"Report dead wild birds to Defra. I think the incidence is still pretty low and containment measures are in place that will I hope be more successful than covid-19 " How many being slaughtered ? | |||
| |||
"It's all true was found in toomb co derry" You would not think it according to the fab news reporters | |||
"Report dead wild birds to Defra. I think the incidence is still pretty low and containment measures are in place that will I hope be more successful than covid-19 How many being slaughtered ?" Any on farms found to be infected. Why don't you read about it on the APHA website, which explains the measures? I'm not sure we can link to it, despite it being a sub department of DEFRA which is a Govt site. APHA = Animal & Plant Health Agency. | |||
"It's all true was found in toomb co derry" We don't dispute a dead swan was found in Derry, but highly pathogenic avian influenza has been known about in the UK for several weeks. It's been in the news and it's not just Derry. | |||
"It's all true was found in toomb co derry" Toome is in County Antrim | |||

"I think ‘Derry flu’ is a bit of a tasteless subject tbh Tom. Bird flu isn’t a new thing. I get you’re worried but try not to get too carried away reading into thing. Let’s finish the pandemic we’re in before we start worrying about another one that hasn’t even started " This
It's like Trump calling C***d Chinese flu. Not helpful. It's H5N8 highly pathogenic avian flu, it's present in wild birds across Europe. Kinda hard to prevent those pesky European birds invading our shores, flying without passports across international borders, invading our territories etc etc. | |||
