Avian reports, or lack of

Nothing new to report on the Avian Flu situation. The english news
sources I'm reading still carry the same initial reports. And none of
the locals are talking about it to me yet.

I'm trying to figure out why we are only now being told when there are
reports that this started in Crimea in October.

And I couldn't help but notice that the AP story gets the exchange rate
on the hryvna and dollar wrong by a third. Its not a big deal but you
would think a simple fact like that would be easy to get right.
