WHO confirms first Iraqi bird flu death

An Iraqi teenager who died last month had the H5N1 bird flu virus, the
World Health Organisation (WHO) has confirmed, meaning the disease has
now killed people in seven countries as it spreads across the globe.

The WHO said there was an urgent need to establish the severity of the
outbreak among birds in war-ravaged Iraq.

When they travel do they carry Tamiflu or . . . body bags with them.  I guess I am impatient but I can't stand bureacracy - ineffective response to a known problem.

Shame on the WHO.  Their game of catch-up is truly laughable now.
