Agreed. I just posted it because a number of articles have indicated that the anticipated first confirmation of infected birds is likely to arrive in the coming months in Alaska, and from there down the flight paths into Washington, Oregon, and California. Granted it would still have to mutate into H2H transmission. However, if the H2H strain were to develop elsewhere, it could get a foothold first whereever the airlines carry the first transmissible cases.

That's just it. Where the infection in birds is spreading is of great importance to the poultry industry, but it doesn't have a whole lot of direct impact on you or me.

As soon as it mutates somewhere to H2H transmission, the birds basically become irrelevant. Airplanes become the way the virus migrates.

At this point and time, the migratory birds are heading North. We have until they migrate back South.

I was just out there along the Pacific flyway, Modoc County, Calif. I thought there were more birds than normal and earlier than usual. Just personal observation.
