73% Informative
Vancouver 's urban poultry enthusiasts are taking care to keep their flocks safe and healthy as deadly avian flu sweeps through dozens of commercial flocks across B.C. The first human death from bird flu in the U.S. was reported last week in a person from Louisiana who had been in contact with sick and dead birds in a backyard flock.
Canada ’s first domestically acquired human case of H5N1 involved a teenage girl who became critically ill in November and was released from hospital on Jan. 7 .
Experts fear mutations could change H5N1 into a virus capable of causing a human pandemic.
Experts say the risk for the public is still considered very low.
In east Vancouver , residents have full confidence that Lumpy Eye will make it through the outbreaks.
