No technology can create a 500 yr old tree, the only thing that can is 500 yrs

Nature is irreplaceable, and we must treat it as such

Human case of H5N1 bird flu detected in Vic. Not a recent case, but the news comes as the H7N7 strain was confirmed on a Victorian egg farm this morning

[Victorian Department of Health @VicGovDH]

A human case of avian influenza A(H5N1) infection, also known as “bird flu”, has been reported in Victoria.

There is no evidence of transmission in Victoria and the chance of additional human cases is very low as avian influenza does not easily spread between people.
