Avian Flu again
So it seems I might have been just too impatient with my previous post where I wrote about the lack of Hungarian entries about the bird flu. As a few days later here they go. And thanks for everyone who sent me links, keep them coming!
Pocakos News: He already had earlier post about the bird flu during the summer. He linked to a news article from the Maldives which actually referenced to the Hungarian vaccine testing (based on Reuters news information). Pocakos wrote about the threat possessed by the large Polish poultry population (Poland has the largest agricultural sector among the new joiner EU states) as at that time there has been no preventive (e.g. vaccinating) action has been taken yet. And he challenged the EU official calmness about the threat of bird migration, based on the international treaties (on the protection of Eurasian migrating birds) Hungary also signed and as Pocakos wrote :”according to the maps we are very well inside the migration routes”.
In his more recent entry he points to an article on the business side of the flu analyzing the case of the largest Hungarian drug manufacturer.
(Oh, by the way, Pocakos also quotes my earlier entry on this topic and agrees with my points. Excellent! 
Thx Pocakos .)
Csikszereda musings: In a comment added to the latest entry of Pocakos, Kelt pointed to this blog entry that talkes about birdflu from inside Romania. In English! Or as Pocakos comments in his entry: “unfortunately in English”. Well that’s FORTUNATELLY in English for me here 
.
Sesblog took a simpler means of approaching the question and links an official veterinarian site where there is a detailed explanation of the avian flu. As written in the entry: “if you got carried away by the panic raised by yellow press, you can get things cleared here – and might start to worry even more”.
DéliRiporter hosts a guest article from Stockholm, which attitude is much more on the ironic than the worrying side. As Zsolt writes: “Where are the animal right activists now, when hundred million poultry is put into poison filled trash bins? And where are the good old times when we were frightened by the mad cow disease or ebola?” and later adds “ahh there always have to be something we get scared with… we just need it”.
(The referenced blogs are in Hungarian, except “Csikszereda musings”)
What do you think?
