Back around 2007-2009 there was a risk of bird flu in central Europe. We had a local ban on washing cars except in fully automated car washes, it wasn't controversial at all. We just went along with it.

- dist-epoch 2y agoCar visits a farm with infected chickens, picks up dirt with viruses on the wheels, brings it into cities. This is one way how it spreads from farm to farm.
