Bucharest - About 13 000 people were quarantined in the Romanian capital on Monday as troops and police sealed off streets in response to the city's second bird-flu outbreak, said officials.

The mayor of the southern fourth district, Adrian Inimaroiu, said residents would be cut off and all businesses in the area would be closed during the quarantine period of up to three weeks.

The move came after the agriculture ministry earlier on Monday confirmed the presence of the H5 bird-flu virus in dead chickens found in the neighbourhood, the latest of dozens of outbreaks of avian flu in Romania this spring.

5. Wait until it happens here.

It only took two outbreaks for them to Quarantine 13,000 in Bucharest. Imagine what this psycho Government will do when one person has it in say New York City.
Let the chaos begin. I still say it's going to happen in this country in October just prior to the elections. The Decider loves to rule by fear.
