Labs confirm teenagers had bird flu strain
06/01/2006 - 18:23:44
An 11-year-old girl died today of suspected bird flu in eastern Turkey – days after her brother and sister succumbed to the disease – and their doctor said they probably contracted the illness by playing with dead chickens.
Scientists were closing in on identifying the virus as the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu that has already killed more than 70 people in East Asia since 2003, said a spokeswoman for the World Health Organisation in Geneva.
“If it’s confirmed, these would be the first human cases outside China and Southeast Asia,” WHO spokeswoman Christine McNab said.
A Turkish health ministry official said the WHO lab in Britain suspect it to be H5N1 but only confirmed that it was a type of bird flu.
Preliminary tests in Turkey indicated two of the siblings died of the H5N1 strain, and scientists examining samples at a laboratory in Britain have already confirmed that the virus in the H5 family and appear to be close to determining if it is the deadly H5N1, McNab said.

You mean the members of the band The Swans died of bird flu and you have them hidden in your cellar or something?

I hope this illness doesn't spread to swans. I NEVER want to give up playing with my dead swans. It's the only thing I look forward to every day after work.

Pretty close.
It also went into the 1918 pandemic, which was interesting.
Actually, the guy said there's no way to tell when a pandemic will hit and which influenza virus it will be. The only thing (of course) is that there won't be enough vaccines whichever and whenever it happens.

No but if I did I wouldn't admit it.
Let me guess, it was on bird flu and it freaked you out and we should all be terrified.
