On the heels of a suspiciously timed International Bird Flu Summit in DC, and following reports of new cases of bird flu in humans here in the U.S., we get word that the French government is sounding the alarm on the spread of bird flu.
According to Reuters:
France has raised its risk level of bird flu to ‘moderate’ from ‘negligible’, it said in a decree published in the official journal on Tuesday, a move that will reinforce security measures around poultry farms.
