Whenever you pack animals and humans that close togher, the shit will eventually hit the fan. I recall as a child on my granfather’s farm, one of his chickens (of 50) had fallen ill and died. That was a death sentance for the remaining 49. We spent a lot of time plucking birds and such. These were free range birds too. Not the tin-shack with thousands you see in photo’s all the time.

Funny, the only thing ST carried on it was a column accusing the WHO of *downplaying the threat*.

Grace, that’s interesting. That means Singapore is back on panic stations?

Anyone in Singapore care to tell us what the prevailing opinion is there?
