Bird Flu

This stuff is crazy!? Since I don't understand how to drag text to blog, I'll quote it by hand.

...BBC News ,U.K. Edition- FRESH BIRD FLU FEARS RATTLE ASIA

Indonesia has confirmed its first human death from bird flu, as China reported a new outbreak of the virus among poultry.

Indonesian health ministry officials said the victim, a 23-year-old man, died in Bogor, near Jakarta.

China announced the new outbreak among geese and chickens in the eastern Anhui province in a report to the WHO.

The H5N1 strain has killed at least 60 people in Asia since 2003

The latest developments come as top health officials from more than 30 nations meet in Canada to discuss how to plan for a human influenza pandemic, which they say is inevitable.

Can you believe this.? It's my luck that I came to live in Hungary for a while.? There was recently a new siting of the H5N1 strain in Romainia, which is very close.? I better start saying my prayers...
