My last blog guyz! ='(! until next year!

      OMGzilez guys! It's my last blog! I'll miss everyone who reads my blog! My last blog is about... THE BIRD FLU!
      OH no! This flu is called avian flu if you want to be all scientific. Birds spread the disease just like humans do. They can get it from eating from the same feeder too. Poor little birdies...  The first case of avian flu was in 1878 in Italy.  Unfortunately, the bird flu can be passed from birds to humans. EW!
         How would you like some random chicken to give you the flu? It happens when you're handeling birds.  The Spanish Flu, also avian flu, killed over 30 million people! Stupid birds >=(! However, it's not really their fault. Farmers do this thing called culling. Culling is when people kill their birds that have avian flu so they don't start an outbreak. No more fried chicken  for them...

        So far, there has been 216 deaths of Avian flu and 348 cases. Most people don't survive from the bird flu but now it's a lot less common. Also, there has been a vaccine for avian flu first introduced in 2007. OH YEAH! HUMANS ARE THE FO SHIGGITY DIGGITY DOO!

         The good thing is that you can still eat chicken as long as it's cooked properly. Like the chicken pox, there is an incubation period. It is about 2 days. When you have this disease, you usually have a high fever or have trouble breathing. Also fortunate, the bird flu has never been in the United States. No birdies in the U.S. will die! 
     Ok so i <3 you guys and will miss you!
