I am not seeing a lot of new confirmed outbreaks of bird flu. In fact, All I am seeing is big talk of gov't intervention programs and big donations, flu fatigue and preparations being made worldwide.
Egypt admits BF is endemic, but we knew that already, so why tell us now? Something goin on? Or pressure from the conference to admit it?? Egypt is about the only country that has admitted to human suspects recently.
Bangladesh / India border areas have been having tremendous fever outbreaks,encephalitis and reports of BF, which were immediately denied. Thailand has had a couple recent suspects, also denied. Sandwiched somewhere in there is Vietnam..no suspects but tons of dead birds and pigs.
Indonesia is pretending to hide sequences .. but we still have a lab there? The news from Indo is all but dried up completely, except for the occassional bird deaths.
A few birds in Sweden, Japan and South Korea have been reported. Germany and africa have also had recent outbreaks..then silence.
Economic news is bad, and no country wants to admit to any BF whatsoever, for risk of damaging their economy even more. I understand this, but will not hide news for any country. I urge all to redouble their efforts in reporting and preparation. I am not buying the lack of cases.
The birds are flying and we know what they are bringing with them.
China stays busy with plenty of problems they will admit to, but bf is not one of them. Of all the places that have had huge bird outbreaks, China would seem to me to have more than 1 crow infected in the last few months. As usual, this thread may have any kind of news from China. Bird Flu season is here, so I will start this new China thread..just in case.
