Bird Flu in India
Bird Flu arrived in India. First cases were found in chickens in maharashtra. Looks like govt. has taken the issue seriously and a lot of action is going on and rightfully so. 500000 chicken in 1.5 km radius would be killed immediately.
Bird Flu is not just a regular flu. It is deadly, it can spread to humans and can spread very rapidly. There is no medicene for now.
It is dangerous than AIDS. It has more potential to clear out nations more than any act of terrorism or war. Like plague in the middle ages. If it starts spreading there is no stopping atleast for now.
Hope it wouldn't happen.
