Isn't that curious that the virus seems to have run its course?
I predicted that this was likely when the "epidemic" was first being discussed. I wrote that it was a bad idea to go around killing a lot of birds when a few were found with the virus. The wild birds will eventually be exposed, and the sucesspible ones will die off while those which survive will refill the population.

The best course of action was to let the wild birds spread the disease so that if it ever did mutate to some human-human transmissible form, the birds would be those who were not affected by the virus, and the humans would have an immunity from constant low level exposure to slightly sick birds.
