Ah great, another bird flu case. Just what we need. 🙄
yeah but is it actually a big deal or just media hype again? birds get sick all the time
yeah it's a big deal when your whole flock gets culled mate. but sure, just media hype.
Meanwhile farmers are probably shitting themselves. Hope they're compensating properly this time.
they won't compensate shit. Farmers always get screwed.
FFS another one. I work in poultry, this is gonna be a nightmare for us. Remember what happened last time with culls?

Poor kāhu 😢 hope they're monitoring this properly
Tama Potaka on at 4.45pm... bet he's gonna say all the right things and do sweet FA. Same old story.
aww don't be so cynical, he might actually do something
so what's the actual risk to humans? anyone know or we just panicking?
wasn't asking you lol
low risk to humans currently, but it mutates. that's the worry.
remember when they said covid was just a flu? yeah nah I'm paying attention this time
