I've been writing about this for three years; thank goodness the public press has made the connection and someone in the FAO has also made the connection.
Jan. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Human bird-flu infections may rise in
Asia as people handle more poultry for next week’s Lunar New Year
celebrations, according to a United Nations veterinarian who
tracks the virus in birds. Health authorities in China, South Korea and Vietnam have
stepped up surveillance of H5N1 avian influenza among poultry
ahead of the festival, which starts Jan. 26. Production of
chickens and ducks swells as much as three times in the run-up to
the holiday, making outbreaks more likely, said Jeff Gilbert of
the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization in Hanoi, Vietnam.
