Thanks for compiling this list, Al! It's good to see so many negative results coming back.

The number of suspected cases being reported in the press has definitely slowed down over the last week or so.

I've been wondering if this is connected to the fact that the number of outbreaks in poultry has slowed down. I can't imagine the number of regular flu cases has slowed down already in Egypt, so you'd think there is still a lot of people with flu-like symptoms at the moment. (I think it's still flu season there.) Perhaps the thinking in Egypt is: if there's no outbreak in poultry then there can't be any (suspected) cases in humans.

Re: EGYPT - Jan 9, 2008+
