[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do they have to kill every bird in a 50 mile radius if one gets the flu? This isn't avian ebola or anything. [/quote]

They test every bird in a 10 km radius. Not kill. 
And yes, it’s highly pathogenic. [/quote]

But its the flu, so why? 100+ million plus birds were culled because of it. Its the flu, can't they just call in sick for a week and then get back to egg laying? [/quote]

Discourse in our country has reached such a low that I'm not sure whether you're being sarcastic or not. [/quote]

I find the lack of curiosity by most people on this, and really everything, very perplexing.

Some simple questions that are hard to find answers for:
1. What is the mortality rate in wild vs farmed animals for the same species
2. What is the mortality rate for different species of avians
3. What is the mortality rate for different sub-species of avians
4. How does mortality rate vary within like birds when conditions vary

In essence, is bird flu a problem because we've bread chickens to be egg laying meat machines that live in cramped boxes on the edge of survival until they croak at a young age? If so, maybe the way we "solve" avian flu is just kicking the can down the road. [/quote]
The Amish don’t need to worry about this.[/quote]

Do you understand how bird flu propagates? Of course they will need to worry about it. Both for their animals but also for themselves.[/quote]
How do you think they avoided covid?[/quote]

It’s a misconception that Amish did not get vaccinated against Covid
