U.S. Officials Expect Bird Flu to Return in the Fall

By REUTERS

From the New York Times...

"CHICAGO — U.S. agriculture officials say it is “highly probable” that the virulent avian flu viruses that have hit U.S. poultry operations hard in recent weeks will return next fall when wild bird populations migrate south, potentially spreading the viruses into new regions of the country."

"Officials with the Agriculture Department’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service said the H5N2 virus, along with two other highly pathogenic strains of bird flu, would probably be passed among birds at breeding grounds in the northern United States and Canada through the summer."

Return?  Wasn't aware it ever left yet.  Perhaps they meant "increase".  Given the current numbers and outbreaks, this fall the U.S. may break all records for a/i outbreaks.   The U.S. seems to have a perfect climate and environment for avian flu.  Could possibly be everywhere in the upcoming months.
