   There's a lot of statistical information involved with all of this.   
   Statistically the chickens in Canada are less cramped, statistically they're   
   less likely to spread a virus, and statistically there's less migratory birds   
   in Canada, but that's too many statistics to swallow. But despite all these   
   statistics, it's still statistically impossible for bird flu to not exist in   
   Canada while it's "rampantly infecting American chickens."
