Latest report on bird flu in Thailand

BANGKOK, Dec 11 – There were 24 suspected bird flu cases in Thailand in the second half of 2004, according to the government’s Avian Influenza Operations Centre.

Eleven of these cases were in the South, seven in the North, four in the Northeast, and two in the Central Region.

All patients were under medical supervision, while the results of laboratory tests were pending.

Since the country was hit by a second round of bird-flu outbreak in mid 2004, Thailand has recorded five confirmed cases of bird flu. Four of them died, while the last patient recovered, according to the centre.

There is another suspected bird-flu case in the country's nothern province of Kamphaeng Phet.

More than 1,200 locations in 57 provinces have been identified as suspected epidemic areas, where fowls have been culled.

The government has drafted a strategic to eliminate all human cases of bird-flu patients within the next three years. (TNA)--E008

The way that reads, it sounds as though those suspected cases are awaiting confirmation or otherwise NOW. As if they're currently in hospital.

Um... anyone else reading it that was or am I having a rush of shortbread to the brain?

And 4 or 5 confirmed dead - 80% - ugh.

If both these items are correct, no wonder the WHO can be heard whimpering.

Sue, that was how I was reading it but, thought surely I was mistaken! If this is correct I feel like whimpering a little myself.

and we're only NOW finding out about this? Groan, snivel, etc.

I wonder if there's a market for cheesecake with edible flu vax built in. Doesn't matter - this calls for cheesecake.

Time to go east for some news items - if they can be found.
