Bird Flu in Europe.

European Commission confirmed today (Oct. 13) that Turkish poultry is indeed infected with “the aggressive H5N1 strain of avian flu” (Deutsche Welle) that is feared to be capable of causing a global pandemic.

I don't think you need a time machine to see that in a few month the bird flu which is carried by migratory bords will be on Americas shores. Right now we have rumors of the avian flu H5N1 being in Central and South America.
