I think there are quite a lot of migrating wild birds flying across
continents. I feel pretty safe at the moment in Hong Kong. They have
put in policy to stop domestic farming (e.g. having a few chickens in
the house) to help disease prevention. I would recommend stop eating
chickens etc. if you're really nervous.
