7 children suspected with bird flu in Indonesia's Riau
www.chinaview.cn 2007-10-23 19:27:12 Print Special report: Global fight against bird flu JAKARTA, Oct. 23 (Xinhua) -- Seven children aged between one and 10 years old have been suspected of having bird flu in Indonesia's Riau province, where four people have died of the virus in recent months, an official said Tuesday. "It is only suspicion but we are serious to handle the case," local head office head Hasanul Irbai was quoted by leading news website Detikcom as saying. The seven children live in Merampi Hulu village, Siak regency in the province on Sumatra island. "The Siak government will immediately send the children to the Arifin Achmad Hospital in (provincial capital) Pekanbaru," he said. Earlier this week, the government confirmed that bird flu was the cause of the death of a 10-year-old girl in Riau, bringing the total of national casualties to 89, the highest among other bird-flu affected countries in the world. |

~This is the case in question in which officials are saying the cause of death was not h5n1 although previous test was positive if I remember correctly.

7 children is a lot! If these seven children coughed on 7 other children and those 7 other children who are not sick yet ....well you get my point! This may be the start of it! I wonder if the Tamiflu will even work!

IMHO This cluster is significant and being monitored closely. Unpublished items include involvement of health care workers, and more information which can be found with some serious digging. Significantly, if this is the beginning, it will spread quite quickly and a sequence of the rather unique form of the virus of the 4 year old will demonstrate some important differences. Entire school districts each year come down with "the flu" in many states of the U.S.- sometimes all of them; and tens of thousands of people die.
Whether this gets further notice will be based on basically two facts - how many die of those who get it - and how many get it. posted by Medclincian |

Once upon a storytime,My mother told me a group of young boys picked up a pet and died in Stockingford. You would think it was a cat but the way she told me not to touch dogs when I was little it might have been one of them
