#7 Not Just Birds

A lot of odd strain Flu and Bacterial Pneumonia cases starting to pop up around the USA.

Have had reports from Family members in Colorado Springs, Atlanta and Augusta of an odd increase in Bacterial Pneumonia cases causing extended wait and treatment times and availability certain medications'.

The Family in Augusta, GA. told us a relative who had open-heart surgery last Wed. Spent 2 days in ICU and was sent home with IV's, drainage tubes and all still in.

They were told it was due to lack of beds because of the high number of Lung related infection cases.

#8 Skidmark, #6 ^
My son has about 20 chickens and 8 or so large ducks.

He quickly found avoiding Commercial feeds and using local grown feeds. That his Home raised Chickens, Ducks and the laid eggs still taste like they use to.

#10 Is the infected meat still useable at KFC or is the parasite context too low?
