We’re coming out of winter now and some might say we’re leaving flu season behind – but the same can’t be said of our feathered friends. As of last might there have been 354 positive events of the H5N1 bird flu across Australia, 203 in South Australia and 112 in Victoria.

Joining us on Saturday Magazine is Dr Fernando Gordillo-Altamirano. He’s a medical doctor and infectious disease researcher at The Alfred Hospital and Monash University – and he’s got more than a few pointers about how to stay one step ahead. Fernando, welcome to JOY!
