It's only a matter of time before it reaches here. I worry not only about the impact it could have on human health, but that if it gets bad enough and they have to kill off enough birds that it might jack up the price of things like chicken and turkey that a lot of people like me use as a cheaper source of meat than beef and pork.

Oh, I think we are in for that for sure, even if it's just an excuse to get the price up.
