Countries with confirmed human deaths are: Azerbaijan, Cambodia, China, Egypt, Indonesia, Iraq, Laos, Nigeria, Thailand, Turkey and Vietnam. * In total, the virus is known to have infected 312 people since 2003, according to the WHO. Many of the dead are children and young adults. * According to WHO, Vietnam and Indonesia have the highest number of cases, accounting for 121 of the total deaths. * The H5N1 virus is not new to science and was responsible for an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Scotland in 1959. Britain confirmed new cases in birds in Scotland in April 2006 and in eastern England in February 2007. * H5N1 is not the only bird flu virus. There are numerous strains. For example, an outbreak in 2003 of the H7N7 bird flu virus in the Netherlands led to the destruction of more than 30 million birds, around a third of the country's poultry stock. About 2.7 million were destroyed in Belgium and around 400,000 in Germany. In the Netherlands, 89 people were infected with the H7N7 virus, of whom one (a veterinarian) died. * The H5N1 virus made the first known jump into humans in Hong Kong in 1997, infecting 18 people and killing six of them. The government ordered the immediate culling of the territory's entire poultry flock, ending the outbreak. * Symptoms of bird flu in humans have ranged from typical influenza-like symptoms, such as fever, cough, sore throat and muscle aches, to eye inflammations (conjunctivitis), pneumonia, acute respiratory distress, viral pneumonia, and other severe and life-threatening complications.

Sunday Jun 24 05:53 AEST AP - Authorities posted caution signs around two Bavarian lakes on Saturday after seven dead birds tested positive for the H5N1 bird flu virus, the first cases reported in Germany this year. Nuremberg city authorities warned people to keep their dogs leashed and stay away from waterfowl after five swans, one duck and one goose all tested positive for H5N1. The Consumer Affairs Ministry confirmed these as the first bird flu cases reported in Germany this year, and said the results of further tests were expected within a few days. The additional tests were being done by the Friedrich-Loeffler Institut, which has dealt with most of Germany's previous H5N1 cases. Last year, 13 EU nations were hit by bird flu - Austria, Denmark, Poland, Italy, Greece, Britain, Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Hungary and France. Bird flu was reported earlier this month in the Czech Republic and also surfaced elsewhere in the European Union earlier this year. It is believed to spread along bird migration routes. The H5N1 strain has decimated poultry stocks since 2003 and killed at least 191 people worldwide, most of them directly infected by sick birds in Asia. Experts fear the virus could mutate into a form easily transmitted between people. ©AAP 2007 |

Does it seem like this bf is moving faster than last year? Everyday a new place with it. What do you think the virus is doing now? Does it sound like it might be getting ready to jump? I am very concerned. I know we can not predict when it will. But is this a time we should be very cautious and alert more than usual.
More than we have been in the past? Sometimes it just to complex to understand all of it. But with everyone together I thought we might come up with a general agreement what is going on right now. PrepGirl |
