Re: Turkish thread

Though we did hear about the cat in Germany in all the newspapers, as well as WHO update on the number of confirmed BF infected deaths (they're saying 174 infected, 94 deceased) on anatolian agency.com. Nothing about the kids in Manisa. Nothing else. I'm hoping that this is because there are no new cases and the kids in Manisa are -.

Turkey confirms new bird flu cases among poultry

Turkey confirms new bird flu cases among poultry

ANKARA, March 3 (Reuters) - Turkey confirmed on Friday three new cases of the H5 strain of bird flu among poultry in an area to the west of Istanbul and said culling of birds was under way. The Agriculture Ministry said samples from the infected ducks and chickens had been sent to Britain for further tests to ascertain whether they had the H5N1 form of the virus, which is dangerous to humans. The latest cases were detected in ducks and chickens in Catalca and Silivri, both near the Sea of Marmara on the western outskirts of Istanbul, a city of more than 12 million people. Ministry officials said some 2,800 poultry had already been culled in Silivri. Earlier this week, authorities said they had culled a total 2.27 million poultry so far across the country of 72 million people in a bid to halt the spread of the disease. They said more than 60 of a total 106 districts where bird flu has been confirmed remained under quarantine.
Quarantine in Turkey means 21-day restrictions on the movement of poultry in the designated area and increased hygiene precautions for the local human population.

Re: Turkey: Alanya Sees 30% Fall in Scandinavian Tourists

I spoke with a Norwegian family member. They're not traveling at this time. They have been on tour in Turkey in the past. This year they're getting ready for bird flu. They say awareness is heightened in Norway, but many people have some stores of food for when the weather gets bad and roads are impassable. I wonder if this is less true in the large cities.

Oric and Zkurmus, I'm thinking of you there in Turkey. Be safe. Thanks for the info and translations you provide. Thanks for sharing the wonderful photos of Istanbul, Oric.

I've been away at a firefighters conference, planning for the next fire season, discussing "lessons learned", helping write the pandemic plan. When I got home I went shopping for the first time yesterday. Chickens seem to be for sale at reduced prices in many stores here in Northern California. Is that true elsewhere in the US?
