H5N1 outbreak again?!?

smuggled chickens may have been the cause of the latest outbreak of the bird flu virus, as reported in the news. it was said that all chickens were slaughtered in the june 8 city-wide cleanup.

strangely, as i was walking home from the work today, I saw several what seemed to be health department trucks parked outside the kennedy town market. at the front entrance, were a bunch of people, some in blue uniform with walkie talkies, some in white chemical suits, which looked like they had just arrived at a crime scene. looking behind the locked gates, were more people and in front of them were several white bags. i can't really tell what's in them but i suspect it has to do with the chickens.

to play safe, stay away from chicken for now and turn to alternate sources of meet such as beef, lamb, pork or other forms of cute animals.
