OSLO (Reuters) - Norway has detected its first case of the highly pathogenic H5N8 strain of bird flu, the country’s Food Safety Authority (FSA)said in a statement on Friday.

Farm birds in southern Norway must keept indoors following the discovery of the infection in a wild short-billed goose, the FSA said.

The highly contagious and deadly form of avian influenza is spreading rapidly in Europe, putting the poultry industry on alert.

5. Ahhh. 2020 going out delivering head shots.

But, should we expect anything different from 2020.

Other than President-Elect Biden and Vice President-Elect Harris, this year has been forgettable from a cultural and mortality perspective.

6. If bird flu wants a shot at me it had better get in line behind Covid

Until then I won’t be giving it much thought. Plenty of other things to worry about in this world, not the least of which is Trump’s final act.
