They just said on the news it started off in Hungary and they don't know how it reached Britain, hmm, haven't we just signed 2 Hungarians?!
Flippingheck, that means that every old dear that finds a dead spuggie is going to be on the phone thinking it's bird flu.
Went to Tesco this afternoon.... It looks like the Bernard Matthews products weren't flying off the shelves.. Maybe he will start saying "they're ahchewtiful"
Shows how stupid some people are (Well perhaps not that stupid if they aren't buying Bernard Matthews products!) But it cannot be transmitted via cooked food. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3422839.stm Can I continue to eat chicken? Yes. Experts say avian flu is not a food-borne virus, so eating chicken is safe. The only people thought to be at risk are those involved in the slaughter and preparation of meat that may be infected. However, the Who recommends, to be absolutely safe all meat should be cooked to a temperature of at least 70C. Eggs should also be thoroughly cooked. Professor Hugh Pennington of Aberdeen University underlined the negligible risk to consumers: "The virus is carried in the chicken's gut. "A person would have to dry out the chicken meat and would have to sniff the carcass to be at any risk. But even then, it would be very hard to become infected."
