This is a joke!
SITUATION UPDATE
There are currently 4,563,000 Infected Properties (IPs). Encouragingly, Dangerous Contact Properties (DCPs) and Suspect Properties (SPs) have dropped to 0!
Although there was a further increase in IPs over the last 24 hours, the new IPs are still occurring within existing Australian borders, and further cases are predicted to occur around existing IPs and SPs where there are very high seahorse densities. We are considering an expansion of the purple zone into New Zealand, with the aim of reaching Iceland.
The disease containment situation remains encouraging and there is still reason to be optimistic about the prospects for eradication, since all high risk horses have now died and none remain to be infected. However, the DPI still expects a sustained response effort will be required over the next six or more months with recreational horse owners maintaining high bio-security (racehorse owners are exempt). SDCHQ epidemiologists have ceased to trace the epidemiology of the outbreak, they are now busy investigating the Foot and Mouth outbreak.

That just sums it up totally, you had me in stitches.
I vote you to run this debarcle, you have a grip on "reality here" unlike the DPI
Great that we can still have a sense of humour about this.
The sad thing is that the so-called experts (eg DPI) seem to believe that they will control the situation. Instead of letting the virus burn out as quickly as possible, they are only prolonging the agony and destroying our industry in the process.
Thanks for helping us smile at a time we don't have much to laugh about.
Does the genious mind behind this joke ( It's absolutly spot on) mind if i print this out and post it on the wall at work, it will give the down hearted a laugh but it will also inform the people that don't know much about EI of the REAL SITUATION.
Thankyou for a needy laugh.
I have only one error to point out to you!!
According to the DPI, Government, and the all wise and powerful Racing Industry Victoria has "NO Equine Flu virus"!!
Cos they have the spring carnival on. And we all know how a virus just hates to infect a state during its spring time racing?!! So it has thoughtfully jumped the whole state and landed in Tassie instead.
He He Ho Ho Please keep our chins up with your humor - god knows we need it
cheers
only thing is there are q's on here on cases in vic and people/media beign told to keep it quite. until after the cup. what's to stop us taking horses through the river to get in to vic??? i can do it and ride down to a friends place half the time you pass through tocumwal, looks like he's asleep.
