Where did avian bird flu come from?

Answer 1

Influenza or flu is a virus that spreads very easily from human to human by coughing, sneezing, kissing, touching etc. Viruses mutate and combine very easily, so when you 'get over' one flu and develop antibodies, a mutated flu virus can still make you sick.

Answer 2

Avian Flu originated in Asia (China, to be specific). Although it started out in a relatively small, concentrated area, it spread throughout bird migration routes. When birds are migrating, they often cross paths with one another, and the ailment can be passed between birds and spread all over the world.

Answer 3

Avian Flu was first recorded in Italy more than 100 years ago in 1878. As the cause of massive poultry epidemics, this disease was then known as "Fowl Plague". This disease first appeared in the United States in 1924-25, and then again in 1929

Answer 4

Here is how I think we can do this (and what I hope I am doing):We can support ETHICAL ADOPTION by rernintug it to a SOCIAL SERVICE for CHILDREN in need of a loving home because they are either TRUE orphans (meaning they have NO LIVING OR FIT relatives) or they have had the misfortune of being permanently removed from abuse and/or neglectful situations after due process. We can support people who plan to adopt by helping them become honestly educated about adoption and its issues and encouraging ONLY ethical adoption practices. I feel that unethical adoptions deserve no support whatsoever. We can support people (children) who are in need of adoption (ie: true orphans and foster children who's parents' rights have been terminated by the court due to abuse and/or neglect and have no fit family available to care for them in many ways such as:*By encouraging adoption from foster care. Especially for teens and special needs children.*Educating the public about adoption/foster care/family issues and ethics in an honest and thorough manner in order to give these children the best possible scenario from which to find a loving family as well as an understanding community in which to live.*By volunteering time with these children via reputable programs such as GAL/CASA, Big Brothers, Big Sisters, etc. or by becoming involved with your local schools, tutoring, mentoring, etc.*By donating items or gift cards for the children to your local DSS foster care program to distribute. (Many of these children have few possessions including clothing and school supplies.)*By supporting their human right to retain access to their original birth certificates, medical records and personal history, foster care records and identity. *By calling for adoption reform to return it to the actual social service it was intended to be: Finding suitable homes for children who are truly in need.*And finally, by helping reduce the numbers of those who NEED adoption by, again: Educating yourself and others about family issues, including adoption, and by supporting the families in your community through friendship and encouragement.
