TORONTO, Nov 29 (Reuters) - Internet speculation over a potential human case of bird flu in the Canadian province of Quebec is untrue, a health official said on Wednesday.
"It's not true," Quebec Health Ministry spokeswoman Helene Gingras told Reuters. "We have no signs (of) that." Earlier, at least one Web site dedicated to avian flu posted a report of a 9-year-old boy hospitalized in the town of Rimouski, Quebec. The Internet discussion forum, which cited no specific sources and was headlined "Suspect H5N1 Patient in Rimouski Quebec Canada?" stated the boy had pneumonia and was in isolation. H5N1 is a strain of bird flu that is potentially deadly to humans. Experts fear it could trigger a pandemic if it evolves to become easily transmissible between people. Rimouski is a town of about 42,000, roughly 310 km (193 miles) north of Quebec City. The Internet discussion forum, which cited no specific sources and was headlined "Suspect H5N1 Patient in Rimouski Quebec Canada?" stated the boy had pneumonia and was in isolation. |

Remember the geese? How that was mishandled? I have a hard time believing the media and politicains in Canada just like I do in the U.S. . I don't know what to think about this. When it really happens are they all going to say it just the normal flu, no we don't have a problem. It is a shame that someone would start such a rumor.

daddog36, I have a reason for not referencing Dr. Niman's company. I will say this, if his company name wasn't blocked off the original post, Reuters most likely would have named him specifically as a source, as they would have had no choice. We are the only site that had his information blocked. I'm sure that Dr. Niman is quite thankful at the moment for not having his company name on this thread.

LOL, Albert. Knowing Dr. Niman's name kind of exposes the name of the company...

Toronto Requests Dead Wild Birds For H5N1 Tests
******** Commentary November 30, 2006 Torontonians are being asked to keep an eye out for dead birds. The province is taking part in a national project involving dead birds. This project will help Ontario address the risk of avian influenza. Canada is monitoring the many strains of avian influenza that naturally occur in wild bird populations. One way this is tracked is through the collection and testing of dead birds. This method is only successful if there is a significant level of public participation and awareness. The above request, made today, is better late than never. To date, most surveillance for H5N1 in wild birds in Canada has focused on live birds. However, H5N1 is almost always initially detected in dead birds, wild or poultry. Detection of H5N1 in live birds is generally limited to locations where H5N1 had been previously found in dead birds. |
