    Last year there were 136 human H5N1 cases in Egypt link and link with about 373 H5N1 "foci" outbreaks in poultry.

    With 162 outbreaks this year there should have been approximately 58 human cases announced for 2016.

    I am not sure why there are so few human cases publicly announced this year in comparison to the total poultry outbreak figure.
