There have been new reports about avian flue.
But they no more make the front page. When the first cases appeared in Europe some months ago, they got front page news for about every single country. "Bird flue in France!" "Bird flue in Belgium!" "Bird flue in Luxemburg!" As if the bird flu had set up a forgery central, where it created fake immigration documents to manage to get from one country to another.
However, it is difficult to generate interest with a headline like "352nd case of Bird flue in France!" So now this illness that has the potential to kill millions is relegated to back pages.
Consequently the zoos that hid away all their birds during the news outbreak some months ago, have now started to bring them out in public again. Plenty of news - high risk. No news - no risk.
