I guess that its fair to say that I might be in the mood for a bit of a stouch today!

But, oooooh, is it me or is the world just disintergrating into a pool of blithering idiots.

Here we have a quick shot article that lays claim to the fact that the decline in numbers of new cases of H7N9 in China is the result of restrictions being placed on live poultry trade in the locations most affected.

So, for the thinking person, we might consider that making that irresponsible claim without any supporting information will directly affect the legal trade in essential foods, and risk driving trade into the far worse, black market.

If there is a problem with poultry it needs to be found, not hidden and made worse by hiding it in a black market.

Next, as this virus has such a high media profile these days, perhaps peoples behavours may have changed sufficiently to bring about a one or two day reprieve in reports of new infections.

Things like simple handwashing and other hygenic practices I am certain will be something that has changed in China in recent times.

Maybe the World Health Organization has been successful in again managing to have information censored, thus disgising the real picture.

The list goes on.

Honestly, one can only hope that these two bit reporters starve to death long before they might actually put to print something of real importance.

Where is the real journalism that we used to respect and look forward to consuming?

This junk reporting deserves to lay on a toilet floor waiting for its most appropriate use to called on.

I do hope that Bernadette Carreon has a real day job doing something else, perhaps carrying useless newspapers to toilet stalls!
