Re: Vietnam: 38 cases with suspected symptoms of influenza A/H5N1 infection in Ha Tinh

I agree. Seven samples were taken, and all seven were negative for H5N1. If I were in charge of testing, I would test for H1N1 next (to insure that these ill people aren't going to co-infect a bird with both viruses). Maybe we should put the "tested negative" into the thread title.

And I agree that 7 out of a different 45 people tested positive for cholera in a separate outbreak.

Of note is Dutchy's post #6 mentions a 30% increase in respiratory symptoms (in people who did not necessarily have contact with sick birds) so seasonal and pandemic flu are likely widespread in that area.
