Bird flu interspecies infection

[nzoomed]

Bit of a concern, the other week there was a reported case of it jumping from a cow to a farmer, there appears to be some risk to humans should you catch it, but for now its not able to spread between humans thankfully, that's when we should really be concerned.
Hopefully we can be better prepared to handle it with the experience gained from Covid.

I hope this govt can have the sense to learn from the covid experience here if it does turn up here.

I think the key is probably to take action sooner to close borders and implement MIQ style quarantine measures to negate the need of a lockdown, but being an avian flu, there is a global risk with migratory birds spreading it, so we have far more to worry about, including the threat to our native bird species.
