Again The Point is spreading NEWS in a good way,This latest news comes hard on the heels of the EBOLA horror.At least
THIS TIME NOTICE HAS BEEN GIVEN ABOUT,"avian flu virus H5N1 across West Africa, further spread across the region and beyond is inevitable" GAMBIA MUST Sensitise ALL THE POPULATION without delay,lets see in the next few days what steps the administration in The Gambia has decided to take.
SNIPPET:
"Thursday, July 23, 2015
The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) has called for US$20 million to prevent spread of avian flu across the West African region of 330 million people.
Fears are growing that without timely intervention to stem outbreaks of the highly virulent avian flu virus H5N1 across West Africa, further spread across the region and beyond is inevitable, FAO said today.
To this end, the agency is calling for $20 million for prevention and response activities.
The call follows outbreaks of the virus in poultry farms, markets and family holdings in Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Niger, Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana.
The outbreak comes as countries across West Africa are still recovering from, and in some cases still battling, Ebola. Avian flu could trigger a mass die-off of chicken – a nutritious and inexpensive source of food for many people– with detrimental impacts on diets and on the economy of the region, exacerbating an already difficult situation."

The Point has ended this article with a quotation from a VERY wise man :
“Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure.”
Confucius http://www.biography.com/people/confucius-9254926
Gambia has made "mistakes" before when given notice of impending serious events,this appears not to be the case now in 2015.
read the article from the link below if at all interested !
