Mysterious Pigeon Deaths
On my tagboard,
In the NST today,
So it is not eh H5N1 strain of bird flu. The question is what then caused this massive pigeon deaths in Bidor? Mass suicide? I am sure the answer will be more apparent in the days or weeks to come. (if anyone still remembers about it!!)
Girl,19?? Not aware of that. Perhaps Chiwi can enlighten me on the origins of that report. There has been no reported cases of suspected bird flu in Malaysia as of yet. However, we have to be extremely vigilant considering the epidemic in our neighbouring countries.
As this virus is sometimes carried by migratory birds, how can we avoid this? Surely can't prevent them from entering our airspace!! Such infected birds may end up spreading the virus to our local bird population.
We are certainly at a threshold of a major epidemic capable to wiping out millions of lives. We can only hope and pray that this virus does not have the propensity to transmit from human to human anytime soon!
