This picture is regarding the avian influenza, bird flu pandemic that happened in 2005. It also shows how farmers were inflected with this by working with birds. Since they have no other choice, they might have gotten sick from this virus while they were doing their regular work. This virus killed a lot of people in a year’s span.

This picture shows a hospital in England warning people that a bird flu outbreak is among them. It first started at a farm in Great Britain. Some of the flu was identified in the birds at the farm so they had to kill the birds to stop the disease from spreading. This outbreak was in 2007, one of the last outbreaks for this disease.


“Areas reporting confirmed occurrence of H5N1 avian influenza in poultry and wild birds since 2003.” 2008. World Health Organization (WHO). City Charter High School, Pittsburgh Pa. October 13, 2011.
This is a map that shows where wild birds and chickens have been the most prevalent. They have some of the most occurrences in the world in these places. If you look at this you would say that Asia would be the most places where you would get it. Then there are parts of Africa and in the islands near Australia. They all have wild birds running around and they cannot stop them from spreading unless they kill them, which they won't because that is where most of their money comes from.
