    I wonder what group of scientists have been modifying it this time?
  • …. I believe that Indian Myna birds can spread it between farms. They are spreading everywhere around Australia and are feral. They peck at anything and everything including poo from all animals so can potentially be super spreaders.

    The strain that we have is not the same as other countries. The bad one has a 50% mortality but is very rare in humans & not easy to contract. You have a better chance of winning lotto.
