Did someone alraedy pick up on this from recombinomics:

Suspect H5N1 Bird Flu Patient in Bulgaria Dies

Recombinomics Commentary
February 20, 2006

The young woman, who was hospitalized at the end of last week in
Bulgaria's second largest city of Plovdiv after showing symptoms of bird
flu, has passed away, local Darik Radio reported.

The 27-year-old patient was admitted to hospital on Friday with bilateral
pneumonia and breathlessness.

Initial tests for detecting the virulent H5N1 bird flu virus strain were
immediately carried out and gave negative results. Doctors however have
sent for confirmation samples to the laboratory in Sofia. The results are
still pending.


We'll have to watch out for the results.

Was reading about 1918 flu symptoms. Many suffers 'drowned' as their
lungs filled up with mucus. Is that the same as breathlessness. If so it's a
wonderful understatement it could have come from a Brit!!!

If you look at the details behind the deaths related to the Avian flu, the virus is so strong, it produces an abnormally rapid immunity response, which in turn causes the lungs to fill up with mucus faster than the body can eliminate it.  The victim in essense drowns ... so all the pneumonia "deaths" that occur in these countries needs to be thoroughly examined and tested.
