2,000 poultry birds die of unnatural causes in India.
 ZeeNews.India.com (excerpts):  Shillong, India - Another 40 birds died Tuesday on a government-run farm in western Meghalaya, even as the state government awaited the test reports on earlier deaths to know whether they were due to bird flu, officials said.  In the past two weeks around 2,000 poultry birds have died on the farm at Williamnagar, the district headquarter of East Garo Hills, 312 km west of Shillong.  "We have not decided to impose any restriction on consumption, as we have not yet confirmed the exact cause of deaths of the birds in the area, but if the test proves positive, we will impose restrictions," Lyngwa said.  Moreover, he said that a rapid response team has been kept on standby in the district to deal with the unnatural deaths of thousands of birds.  "There is nothing to panic about and the district authorities are all geared up to meet any eventuality," Backshi said.  

Commentary:  Don't you just love how the authorities have said there is "nothing to panic about" and "they are 'all geared up' to meet any eventuality?"  Sure, any eventuality...that harms or kills the public, to which apparently they don't mind being late.  You can believe the children of these authorities are not eating these dying birds!  Over 2,000 birds die of unnatural causes, they don't know yet what's killing them, and are you going to let your child eat them or their eggs?  This is insanity, but things like this happen all around the world and it (their late response) has something to do with depopulation.  Have you ever noticed how may wealthy people live to be over 90-100?  You and me, we fall into the world's general life expectancy of 67 years.  H5N1 is the bird flu, avian virus, which is also referred to as dengue.  There were 77,165 dengue cases recorded in 2011 in Rio, Brazil, and they reported 65 cases during the first week of 2012, according to crofsblogs.typepad.com on Influenza, Infectious Diseases and Public Health.  This is just once source and one report.  There are many regarding the bird flu throughout the globe.  Jesus said concerning the last days before His return, "Nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places" Matthew 24:7.
