Re: EGYPT - Jan 2, 2008+

Try googling "H5N1 antiviral resistance" - you'll get over 15,000 hits. .

Try using the Google News search for articles dated 2008 regarding Tamiflu resistance. There is only one article, the one I linked.

It is NOT clear from that one article that the current 2008 H5N1 cases in Egypt are Tamiflu resistant. On the contrary, it appears the only WHO statements regarding Tamiflu resistance are from last year's cases, not the current cases.

Therefore, it may be premature to spread an unsubstantiated rumor that the current cases are Tamiflu resistant until there is more solid evidence to substantiate that claim than one poorly written IRIN article that appears to have plagiarized an earlier BBC article -- in which it was perfectly clear they were referring to last year's cases as Tamiflu resistant.

From Website Dep of Health

More people admitted to hospitals over bird flu

More people have been admitted to hospital over bird flu-like hospitals.

The government Damitta has taken the brunt of suspected cases. Police continue their crackdowns on back-yard poultry and violating shops.

In Alexandria, police raided 16 poultry shops and accused workers of violating anti-bird flu measures.

A government ad hoc committee on bird flu has slapped a six-month closure on infected farms nationwide.

Agriculture Minister Aamin Abaza said the back-yard poultry are the main culprit behind the reemergence of the deadly H5N1 virus.

The minister said the government takes the matter extra seriously.

He said the anti-bird flu campaigns are highly focused on the transference of birds from one governorate to another.

Meanwhile, Health Minister Dr Hatem el-Gabaly warned of any complacency in fighting bird flu.

He said the ministry has a stockpile of the tamiflu vaccine amounting to 2.5 million.

The minister put at 46 the number of Egyptians, who had contracted thieveries since it first emerged in Egypt in February of 2006.

Nineteen people have died of bird flu, including two children, the minister added.

More infected birds have been culled over the past few days. In Al-Dakhliya, some 1,300 birds have been culled.

In the southern city of Sohag, up to five million birds have been vaccinated against the virus.
