25-50 new cases of H5N1 admitted each day in Egypt

How can there be reports like this on other webpages,however these reports are no where else to be found? Is this a cover up,or an exaggeration,or what? It would seem to me if this was true WHO would be on top of it?President Bush will be in Egypt on his 9th day of his mideast trip. Is this why there is no news? Is this why this news is blacked out?Are they trying to get Bush to come to Egypt anyway? This is wierd?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Suspect H5N1 Patients in Egypt Testing Positive?

In Western [Al Gharbiyah] Province, were detained 9 cases of family fully assess the village Alsjaih.

The central laboratories has shown some positive samples taken from them.

The above translation creates a confusing picture of the situation in Egypt.  The number of admitted patients continue to accelerate (see satellite map) and many of the admissions are clustered, either by geography or family. The translation above has the highest number of negatives, but since the number of hospitalized suspect cases described in local media in the past week is approximately 200, identifying the negatives is difficult.

The family of nine is the largest familial cluster thus far, and the list in Mansoura is the longest list of named patients for a specific region.  A week ago 10-25 patients were being admitted each day.  Now the numbers are closer to 25-50 per day.

The finding of positive(s) by the central lab, raises concerns that the large number of hospitalized patients represents more than an over abundance of caution. 

The number of locations reporting H5N1 positive birds continue to rise (see satellite map), and the hospital admissions follow the bird positives. 

However, prior to the announcement above, there was no indication that the suspect cases were testing positive.

More information on positives at the central lab, as well as transfers to Abbassia Fevers Hospital in Cairo, would be useful.
