The Great Bird Flu Hoax
I think this bird flu thing was way over blown by the media. You don't hear much about it anymore.
"... in preparation for the supposed coming bird flu plague, the government purchased $2 billion worth of Tamiflu (a drug whose effectiveness in relation to H5N1 is questionable) ... and how Donald Rumsfeld -- once president of the company that developed Tamiflu -- stands to benefit BIG-TIME from this "coincidence."

Indonesian bird flu toll now 53
| Quote From Source: | JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) -- An 11-year-old Indonesian boy has died of the virulent H5N1 strain of bird flu, raising the national death toll from the disease to 53, the director of the hospital where the patient was being treated said Sunday.
The boy, who wasn't named by officials, was admitted to the Sulianti Saroso Hospital for Infectious Diseases on Thursday and died Saturday night, said Director Dr. Santoso Suroso.
"The death of the boy has brought to 53 the number of people killed by the bird flu virus," Suroso said.
Vietnam is the second worst hit at 42, but it has not recorded any deaths in 2006.

Indonesian woman dies of bird flu, 4 others treated
| Quote From Source: | JAKARTA, Indonesia (Reuters) - A 37-year-old Indonesian woman has died of bird flu and four people have been treated for symptoms of the disease, a hospital official said on Friday.
The woman, from Serpong town in western Java, had been diagnosed as positive for the virus earlier this week. Her death takes the country's human death toll from bird flu to 59.
"The woman died yesterday at 7:35 p.m. (1235 GMT) because of organs malfunction which is caused by (bird flu) virus H5N1," Muchtar Ichsan, chief of bird flu management at Persahabatan Hospital in Jakarta, told Reuters.
The woman's husband and their son as well as two other women had been treated since Thursday at the same hospital for bird flu symptoms, he added.
The women have been placed on a respiratory device and their condition is not good, he said.
One of them, aged 22, had tested positive for bird flu, while results for the others were still pending, said Runizar Ruesin, head of the bird flu information center at the health ministry.

Bird flu spreads in Asia, jump in Indonesia cases
| Quote From Source: | JAKARTA, Jan 15 (Reuters) - An Indonesian hospital was on Monday overwhelmed with patients suffering bird flu symptoms while the virus spread further among flocks in Vietnam and flared anew in Thailand.
A recent spurt of human infections with the H5N1 bird flu virus, which re-emerged in Asia in late 2003, has alarmed health officials.
Four Indonesians have died this year after a six-week lull in cases, taking the number of people killed by bird flu in the country to 61, the highest in the world.

Britain battles H5N1 bird flu outbreak in poultry
| Quote From Source: | HOLTON (Reuters) - Britain scrambled to contain its first outbreak of the highly pathogenic H5N1 strain of bird flu in domestic poultry on Saturday after the virus was found at a farm run by Europe's biggest turkey producer.
Some 2,500 turkeys have died since Thursday at the Bernard Matthews farm near Lowestoft in eastern England. The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said all 159,000 birds there would be culled over the next few days.
"We're in new territory," National Farmers' Union Poultry Board chairman Charles Bourns told Reuters. "We've every confidence in Defra but, until we know how this disease arrived, this is a very apprehensive time for all poultry farmers."

Why do they try and soften it? The animals are going to be slaughtered, killed, etc.

World braced for huge surge in bird flu cases
| Quote From Source: | The number of cases of the deadly bird flu virus is increasing around the world as scientists struggle to combat the disease that is now threatening to jump species and infect humans. The news comes as Britain confirmed its first ever case of H5N1 in a farm in Suffolk. More than 160,000 birds will now be slaughtered as the country's farming industry goes on high alert for more outbreaks.
As the authorities responded to the outbreak in Suffolk, local residents questioned why it had taken some 48 hours after the first chicks died last Tuesday for the government's Department of Food and Rural Affairs, Defra, to be informed. But there was also wider concern. Japan and Nigeria have reported a series of cases of the lethal virus, and China, Egypt, Russia, South Korea and Vietnam have also revealed outbreaks in birds and in humans in the past two months.

U.S. companies prepare for bird flu pandemic
| Quote From Source: | ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - Exxon plans to keep some refinery workers living in the plants to keep them going. A small Southern grocery chain is thinking about drive-through pickup of soup and bread.
The U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration urged employers to develop plans to cope with a possible flu pandemic on Tuesday, suggesting letting employees work from home and encouraging sick workers to stay home without reprisals.
But a few international companies and small regional firms were already making bird flu planning a full-time job, and said on Tuesday they have had to prepare for the unthinkable.

No Person-to-Person Spread of Bird Flu Yet
| Quote From Source: | he H5N1 avian flu virus has been found in 11 countries this year and is endemic in Indonesia, Egypt and Nigeria, an international conference in Italy reported.
The 400 experts gathered in Verona said there is no sign yet that the deadly strain has mutated to allow person-to-person infection, the Italian news agency ANSA said. The disease has killed scores of people worldwide but almost all have been shown to have been infected through contact with domestic birds.
One of the key issues for discussion is how to use vaccination to keep the disease from spreading.
