Your attached piece is a bit media sensational.
1. There is no solution, containment and destruction by burning is all that
can be done.
2. If the govt make any area restricted for this reason then thats it.
3. Beltring is a long way off (relatively) yet, the virus only survives in
cool and damp conditions, hence early spring/early winter is always the
danger period, hopefully as (if) the weather warms up the rising temps kill
it.
4. Its not a "huge" outbreak, some 60+ cases, the last one was 2000+ cases.
Its exacerbated by todays instant haulage and the virus having a
dormant/incubation period which puts a delay in the system before cases are
apparent.
