Is bird flu still a threat?
This is often asked by people who live near farms and small animals. The answer is no, but be careful of the vet. Bird flu has been a threat for many years now, with farmers anxious as they keep their flock healthy. However, it's not as severe today as it was before 2013 when the first human death from bird flu in China was recorded . So if you're worried about being bitten by a coughing pig or cat that has H5N1 (the virus), don't worry.
