In the UK, the government is using

"The Russians Are Coming ! The Russians Are Coming !!"

as it's cover story for further attacks on Social Security...

Age pensioners and those dependent on income from government

are being told they'll have to fund the UK's re-arming for War...

I'm sorry. That is the standard drill.

Thanks! Great summary of information.

Covers the complex and contradictory viewpoints of each country -- oddly, it seems they can all 'believe as many as six impossible things before breakfast', just like Lewis Carroll's Alice.

"There is simply no way to stop a virus spread by migratory birds." Is it? It has been around for a couple of decades. If it is so deadly why do we still have lots of migratory birds. This explanation doesn't pass the sniff test.

The point is that the migratory birds carry the virus everywhere, which they do.

Can't stop 'em.

For the virus to be most successful, it will not impair the migration of the birds.

Viruses tend to become milder on the host, because that is the path to successful spread for a virus. Don't even impair the movement of the host, and spread through sneezes and coughs,
