As IF!

They will "establish the nature of the disease" only after the media forgets about the story.

Georgia reports first suspected bird flu case

GEORGIA - A dead chicken showing all the signs of being infected with bird flu has been found in the Khashur region of Georgia, according to the agriculture ministry.

Blood samples from the bird have been sent to the veterinary laboratory in Tbilisi, and results are expected later Thursday.

Georgia, which has common borders with Turkey, is vulnerable to the virus. It has been accused by neighbouring governments of suppressing information about the bird flu cases.

Meanwhile, researchers at St Jude Children's Hospital in the US reported that they have completed the first large genetic analysis of more than 300 bird flu viruses out the 7,000 gathered from poultry, ducks, gulls and other flocks since 1976.

They identified 2,196 bird flu genes and 160 complete genomes, doubling the amount of genetic information available for scientists to study how these viruses evolve and spread over time. This will yield more clues to the virulence of bird flu.

Georgia plans emergency measures against bird flu threat

13:32 | 05/ 01/ 2006
Print version

TBILISI, January 5 (RIA Novosti) - Georgian Health Minister Vladimir Chipashvili headed Thursday to the town of Sarpi on the border with Turkey to assess the threat of bird flu pandemic in the region, a Georgian news agency reported.

David Meskhishvili, head of the bird flu emergency headquarters, said the situation in Sarpi was rather alarming after the news about possible spread of the bird flu virus in the region.

"Sarpi is the most dangerous place in this respect because it borders with Turkey where as we know the virus has already spread," the official said.

The minister and emergency headquarters officials are planning to assess the situation in the region and monitor preventive measures against the spread of deadly virus.

The NTV channel reported earlier that a 15-year-old girl died Thursday morning of the H5N1 strain of avian influenza, becoming the second victim of the virus in Turkey. Her 14-year-old brother died of bird flu on January 1.

Nine other people are hospitalized in the city of Van in eastern Turkey with bird-flu symptoms.

 

Am watching this case closely as it was almost predicted something like this would happen in this region.

By far the most likely bug resonspible for this is noro or one of the other nasties that cause gastritis. Or plain old food poisoning. Or, given the symptoms, carbon monoxide poisoning. Or one of a hundred other ordinary causes of puking and a headache.

Want to worry?

Watch South Africa. They're having a serious outbreak of influenza, notable for having very high fevers. THAT, I'm watching closely.

One of the things to remember is that there are going to be regular outbreaks of random illness. Not everything's bird flu. MOST things aren't bird flu. Little clusters of random lung crud or head crud or stomach crud are perfectly normal worldwide. Even large clusters.
