A member asked:
What has been done to control or eliminate the possible spread of the avian influenza (bird flu)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low risk: This is not transmitted from person to person at this time, so only the rare occurrence of close contact with infected birds has resulted in human disease. Many birds have been sacrificed to limit spread in the poultry industry when it's been identified.
