When I read this I recalled a line from a YEATS; "things fall apart the center does not hold" An angry crowd has mobbed Turkey's health minister during a visit to the remote eastern town of Dogubeyazit, home of the country's first bird flu deaths, as Turkish authorities reported more human cases of the lethal disease. |

More interesting info: DOGUBAYAZIT, Turkey - Turkey reported a spike in suspected bird flu cases among people across the country on Monday as fears grew that the deadly disease was sweeping westward towards mainland Europe. Worried Turks rushed to hospitals on Monday for tests for the virus, which kills more than half of those it infects. |
