    we(followers of virological news) were expecting it sooner or later
    Good thing the Russians have got their vaccine production up & running for SAR'S CoV-2

    with the African swine flu
    there is not enough beef to feed protein to the world
    if birds are removed it will cause issues
    given the squeeze on pig farming
    it seemed to be logical that in the rush to breed more birds for food eventually the seems would come un stuck one way or another.
    queue Global protein deficiency

    why Russia ? they should be fairly good.
    question why/how/what
    worst possible scenario climate change warming weather changing the bird flu allowing it to mutate in warmer climates.
    possibly a different strain that has adapted to survive the cold being able to adapt in some unique way to warmer or wetter climate
    i should imagine this potential will be Europe wide
    hopefully migratory patterns of water foul that transit between very cold and warmer climates can be investigated to test to see what strains they may be carrying & if it is mutating also.
    given there may be a potential range to mutation
    its a question of time from bird flu coming into existence that results in its potential mutations coming to a jumping point where it is able to be transmitted to humans
    considering water foul per say have been intermixing with humans for tens of thousands of years
    it may be about time
    the spinning wheel may be throwing up lots of chances for it to make that next jump.

    sounds maybe grim
    but thats the reality

    hope for the best
    plan for the worst

    if i was china(in partner ship with Russia & the WHO, possibly tag in WTO[science must come first] so they can take notes & listen only)
    i would invite the WHO to stay on & invite up the south east Asian countries to send up representatives to have a global symposium on bird flu & global migratory bird routes & look to see how the pharmaceutical company's can handle producing any types of sprays for farmed birds(spray or feed?) sooner they start the sooner they find something less toxic which humans can eat
    last thing Asia needs now is a virulent outbreak of bird flu
    the consequences stagger my mind.

    Animal Protein is CRITICAL to the survival of modern civilization
    without out it babys brains wont develop properly & society's scientific advances will start to fail
    social order will start to crumble etc ...
    imagine the price fish will go to.
    imagine the price baby formula will go to

    chickenpox-alypse .... (pun joke)

    with African swine fever
    failing global meat farming
    global new reliance on chicken as the primary protein

    bird flu would be the nail in the coffin if it were to become human to human
    meanwhile
    birds will be getting bread all over the place without all the normal safety procedures checks and balances
    so viruses will run rampant etc

    it looks like the perfect storm waiting for a gust of wind to start it

    (& there is ALWAYS a gust of wind its just a question of how soon)
