Bird flu - town of Sachsenkam is now cut off

Breaking news!

The first case of bird flu is here and its bloody near!

Driving back from Brauneck this afternoon we saw a police car blue flashing light putting up a sign "Sperrgebiet" - this means quarantine zone.

Pass auf everyone!

Dont forget the Wise Words of Crawlie..

If you see a dead Policeman.. Dont play with it!

Well thats only about 6km closer to Munich. Sachsenkam is about 6km north east of Bad Tolz where they found birdflu just last week.

Amen Grinner.

Look. For the safety of everyone here. Do not play with dead things at all, ever. Unless they are cooked properly

There's this guy in England who only eats roadkill. He just published his roadkill cookbook. He's been doing it for 20 years already.

this?

Don't know, read about it in the papers a few days ago. I suppose it would be, yes.

I'd say if it's road kill, it's probably OK to eat, unless it's a bird or a cat. At least it didn't die of bird flu!

Guten!

well does anyone know if there is an outbreak in germany, if the government has obtained any vacine against it or what is there plan?

I dont think there is a Vaccine for roadkill.. it seems pretty Terminal to me!

ha ha ,not the road kill, bird flu. it is really somthing to think about!! what will you be doing if it breaks out in germany i will proberbly be on the next flight back to OZ and hopefully it doesn´t reach there for awhile.

Moffy, just in case you hadnt noticed, it has broken out here!

Best get your ticket!

human to human outbreak. i don´t think your sarcasim funny.

@Moffy
Not sure how your German is, but the Süddeutsche Zeitung website has a good question and answer article

I wasnt being sarcastic..

It has broken out here! And you made comment about Vaccine after a road kill Posting!!

Anyway, how is life in Hamburg?

life is good. so what are your plans when there is an outbreak of bird flu. i believe that it will become a very big question on everyone mind?

Probably carry on as usual..

afaik, it is here. but as i'm far more lileky to die in a car crash than contract bird flu, i'll not worry unduly about it now. if it turns into the plague, then we're all fucked anyway.

I worry about traffic accidents a lot, so it wouldn't console me to think that I'm more likely to die in a car crash, if that were true.

It's also not necessarily true that we're all fucked if it turns into a plague; all of us are descended from plague survivors, or at least people who had offspring before dieing, and whose off-spring continued that tradition.

One precaution I have heard about is to avoid shaking hands and to offer to touch elbows instead.

I'm going to buy a lottery ticket:
