What are all those Thailanders doing for feathers, and will the flies they export have the virus? Will the prices for foreign flies go up because the availability has been diminished? Will they be importing all our feathers to keep themselves going? I suspect as has been stated, that the prices will be headed up. If that bug mutates, and becomes communicable, we'll have a lot more important things to worry about than the price of feathers, I'm afraid. The general concensus of those in the know seems to be that there's a more than good chance that it will. It would be a real good idea to have a couple of months supply of food, water and other essentials on hand in order to isolate yourselves as much as possible, in the event that it mutates. Safe side, be prepared, all that. Take a look here.
