The explosion of the bird flu cases in the past days has raised many questions for the ones that were trying to find a clear answer in this governmental mess: how was it possible for the virus to spread from the centre of Romania, from only one locality?
There has been a relatively coherent spread of the virus in the previous cases, which showed the itinerary of the migrating birds that brought H5N1 in Romania.
SPREAD
This time, there have been tens of cases in the middle of the country. The virus "covered" quickly everything on a surface of approximately 200 km around the bird farms in Brasov. Should we have expected a flight of infected migrating birds to get directly to Codlea, where tens of them would have died, and, then, have started another circular trip in the counties nearby? Thatâs highly unlikely.
The authorities couldnât handle the hysteria. The media was trying to inform the people about the spreading of H5N1 in our country. We could only see some sanitarian-veterinarian measures, but the explosion continued. Vrancea, Covasna, Sibiu, Alba, Valcea, and Prahova, all came quickly after Brasov. The disease was spreading in concentric circles. Hundreds of people and legal bodies have bought living birds from the farms in Codlea, without knowing they were spreading the virus in seven counties. The ignorance of the authorities, the suspect imports, the criminal accessory of the owners of the farms, the breaking of the elementary rules by the vets hired by Drakom and Pati Prod, they have all contributed to the present disaster.
THE IMPORTS WERE A KNOWN FACT
Some journalists had found out that the origin of the virus could be certain imports. Dependable sources have confirmed this hypothesis, and the investigation of our newspaper led us to the conclusion that the government is trying to hush up and to hide the information
