[QUOTE="Prairie Doggin', post: 415768, member: 6980"] I'm with guywhodoesntwanttoeradicatedeer. I always wonder the same thing when avian flu is discovered in a flock of chickens or turkeys...why not quarantine the flock (enclosed building), let them die off, and see if there are some that are immune? The ones that survive (if any) could populate future flocks, and maybe it wouldn't be a thing. Admittedly, I'm no scientist, but to me it seems like killing off a classroom of kids because the kid whose mom never let him play in the ball pit at McDonald's because it was too dirty and used hand sanitizer every time he touched a doorknob or stair rail (so never was exposed to anything and has zero immunities) was sick again. (Speaking figuratively in that run-on sentence, but you maybe get the point.) Maybe, the whole flock dies. Or, maybe, 1 or 2 or 12 survive. Maybe those (that) turkey/chicken possesses some sort of immunity that can be replicated/passed on. Might be nonsense, but maybe not🤔 [/QUOTE]
