Yes, it's probably there. There were thousands of birds that died, thousands more were culled, and there were ten people who were being checked for H5N1 infection. The first 4 have had their preliminary tests come back negative.
The other six are really just being checked as a precautionary measure, and probably don't have the virus. We haven't seen what results there are from them though.

Thanks! I just heard about it on the Albuquerque news at 5:00 pm. They are definitely slaughtering tens of thousands of turkeys. I've already bought a lot of chickens for my freezer, and I'm going to buy a few turkeys now too. I've purchased some dehydrated eggs, since so much food needs eggs to cook/bake.
What I don't understand is why these big farms don't slaughter and sell their birds before it hits their country. It seems to me like that would be the intelligent thing to do. Once it hits, no one can eat the meat. Even if they had to give it away to the citizens of their country so they could freeze it.
