People are claiming that they are under informed about the Avian 
Influenza outbreak.  This is because the CDC and USDA have wanted to 
downplay their bungled efforts to date.  When the first fatality 
resulted from exposure to backyard birds I noted that the CDC should be 
warning animal ownwers about what they should be looking out for, and 
how to deal with the situation.  The USDA should have been doing the 
same thing, and they should have been tracking where Avian influenza 
existed in wild birds and warning people in those areas.  They need to 
tell the people what symptoms to look out for in their animals, and they 
need to tell them that they have to minimize animal contact if they 
start seeing those symptoms and they need to contact the USDA or CDC and 
get their animals tested.  It sounds simple, but both organizations have 
refused to do it.
