We cannot afford to be in any way complacent. The fact that there are human cases of bird flu being reported at quite regular intervals now means that the disease is still quite serious.

Bird flu isn't over in Switzerland. We are not finding cases any more but on the other hand we can be quite sure that the bird flu virus will remain in the wild bird population in Switzerland for years to come ? our guess is about five-20 years.

Today, we have three suspected cases of bird flu in the island of Reunion.

This is not the start of the pandemic. The start of the pandemic starts when there is human to human transfer, confirmed and sustained.

As a professional, I cannot afford to be complacent.

an eventual bird flu epidemic.
