Bird Flu?

OK... not to get everyone worried or anything... But I received the following email from the American Consulate in Vienna today:

During the past several days the media have reported extensively on Avian influenza, commonly referred to as "bird flu" or Avian Flu in English. Austrian ORF radio reports that Austrian officials found a dead swan on the Hungarian side of Lake Neusiedl (Neusiedlersee). Hungary's chief veterinarian officer, Miklos Suth, said Austrian officials gave the swan to Hungarian health authorities for Avian Flu testing. Test results are expected in a few days.
The U.S. Embassy reminds American citizens in Austria that information about Avian Flu, including suggested precautions, is available in the U.S. Department of State's "Avian Flu Fact Sheet" located here, which was updated on October 19, 2005. The Fact Sheet includes links to Avian Flu information from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The Embassy urges all Americans in Austria to monitor these websites as they are updated with current and
accurate information. The Austrian government has an emergency plan for Avian Flu and has been screening poultry for the Avian Influenza virus since 2003. All test results to date have been negative, and the most recent occurrence in
Austria was in 1946.
In the event the Austrian government suspects an Avian Flu occurrence, the Austrian emergency plan will go into effect immediately. The plan includes the appointment of national, regional or local crisis centers, the investigation of animals, the lockdown of affected farmyards and regions, the vaccination of poultry stocks, and standard operating procedures for officials and veterinarians as well as directives for veterinarians, farmers, and the population at large.
