The article you linked does explain the situation well in the U.S., from what I understand of it. Their lack of response to it becoming established in the cattle is really concerning.

It's been pretty bad in the UK. In the wild it decimated some colonies last year, will see how it turns out this year. Farming wise then this article has a summary. As someone who keeps chickens it's all a bit worrisome!

Thank you for the link. I'll read it tomorrow hopefully - just had my eyes lasered today so not able to read much at the mo.

Oooh, hope they recover soon, and it didn't take too much out of you.

Gradually getting easier. When got home was wearing 3 sunglasses over my glasses! 🤣 Now it's dark just using polarised flip-up glasses. Up to use phone, down for extra dark for TV. Hopefully it'll be back to normal in the morning - it's the effect of the eye drops they use to expand your pupils.

We've had several outbreaks and quarantine (AIZP) areas put in place near to us since Xmas. Plenty more around the country as well. This tool can show you the outbreaks local to you and further afield.
