Why that seems like it is raising an problem that is not there ?

Maybe trying to deflect media attention away from the election results this morning!

I really would put anything past Boris and his gang!

Yes but the job is a complete knacker for everyone if it was again but it’s not even f n m

I think I understand what you've just written

 

[The Seeker]

Either way seems it’s just unnecessary reporting so fingers crossed

No it's not.

Bio-security needs to be in the top of everyone's list today, and every day tbh.

In the 2001 outbreak I couldn't even get with district in Devon the outbreak was in let alone parish!

We disinfected the milk tanker on and off that Sunday morning, that tanker was then discovered to have travelled in and out if the same lane as the F&M case.

Forewarned is forearmed!

I'm glad someone is with me on the same page

Some farmers think its a badge of honour to walk round looking like a store bullock that's been lying in the scrape passage all winter!

Is it rude to ask how you know?

It was put out on a WhatsApp group by a friend who is very well connected and who knows all too well how serious this is and would not mis-lead or say anything that they were unsure of.
How they got the information I have no idea, but it could have come from any number of routes including DEFRA, AHDB or NFU or possibly else where.

There's been an interim DEFRA statement now too stating preliminary test for F&M is negative

[Moors Lad]

Norfolk show next week I think. Anyone still considering taking stock there now without this being confirmed as something else first need lynching.

I don`t think you`ve any worries there - hopefully it`ll prove negative but if the worse emerges they won`t be taking stock ANYWHERE in Norfolk - unless of course it`s all down to BORIS!!

Be a shame for the show but cancel the fecker

Massive gathering of farmers just the day before at Groundswell, let's hope there was decent disinfection points at the exits

I doubt it. I nearly said something on the car sharing thread about sharing cars whilst covid cases are rising again............but knew I'd be poo-poohed.

 

[Nick Adams]

UK should be on higher alert due to current outbreak in Indonesia. Obviously higher risk for Australia but they had tightened restrictions.

 

[muleman]

Total social media scaremongering, i can't believe farmers are sharing the story.
And a bit of disinfectant in a bucket wont do any good, and i know because i lived through the epicentre of the 2001 outbreak before anyone shouts me down.

Why?

At this point it is only SUSPECTED. In the event of a confirmed case, then all animal movement will be frozen, including shows - as in 2007 when the outbreak was confirmed the night before Dumfries show, the show went ahead the next day minus livestock.

 

[Wolds Beef]

@Nick Adams How long do the tests take to confirm? Do you know? Or would your NFU contacts Know?

Can humans not spread it ? God forbid it’s positive cancel. Just my opinion
