SULAIMANIYAH, Iraq (AP) - Iraqi and U.N. health officials said Monday a
15-year-old girl who died this month was a victim of the deadly H5N1
strain of the bird flu virus, the first confirmed case of the disease in the
Middle East. Tests were under way to determine if the girl's uncle, who
lived in the same house, also died of the virus. He died 10 days later after
suffering the same symptoms, officials said.

A U.N. official in Egypt, who refused to be identified because of the
sensitivity of the issue, also said the girl died from the H5N1 strain and
that 30 other samples from northern Iraq are being tested.

"Iraq's Kurdish provinces, which lie on the border with Turkey, are a major
poultry producing region supplying chicken and eggs for much of the
entire country."

"So there you have it. The Fourth Horse of the
Apolcalypse is cantering towards a war torn area with a destroyed civil
infrastructure, overwhelmed medical facilities and 160,000 foreign
occupiers poised to become global vectors."

Didn't Joe say that they are allowing this to quietly  spread to avoid a panic lol?

The WHO should have declared pandemic level 4 by now.

Sorry,

I don't think Tamiflu is going to work.

Hey Walkdog,

You are correct. "We are in for a bumpy ride". Aplogy to Bette Davis.

Stop learning and you will stop living. My wife thinks I'm crazy & she is a

nurse. It's a hard concept to warp ones head around. I'm stocking up on

Samubcol (only for 40yr+) , in additon to the bottles I have. I lived next

door to SARS in Toronto. It was no picnic.


My 2-cents.

“My daughter did not die from bird flu,” Fatima Abdullah, 50, told The Associated Press. “She did not like chickens nor had anything to do with them. She did not take care of these birds.”

 

Still b2h huh? Thats quite a germ if it can jump into someone who does not even contact birds. But then, the lady in indonesia died of it and didnt have anything to do with birds either...
