   Bird flu claims another victim in China
A man in south-west China who contracted the bird flu 
virus died on Sunday, health authorities said, the second human death 
from the virulent disease in the country in just under a month.
The
 news comes after neighbouring Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia also 
reported deaths from avian influenza, and after chickens tested positive
 for the H5N1 virus in Hong Kong, prompting a mass cull of birds.
The
 latest Chinese victim fell ill on January 6 and was admitted to 
hospital in Guiyang - capital of Guizhou province - where his condition 
rapidly deteriorated, the provincial health department said in a 
statement.
Tests on the patient before he died confirmed he had contracted the H5N1 virus, it added.

	And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.

	This is getting a little unnerving...
