#1 While I applaud the action taken (quarintine of the suspected flock), I have reservations about the method, and controls associated w/it: When I was stationed at NAF Atsugi, 91-94, there was a commercial incinerator adjacent to the base. The prevailing winds would carry the smoke plume right over the base and more often than not, directly over the base housing complex. There were lots of high level discussions, but when I left, there was nothing on the table regarding improving the situation. So my question to the medical types: Is it likely there is still H5N1 present in the smoke plume?
