Howdy Ironorehopper, nice to know they've got H5N1 completely eradicated from India, or do they really?
Could you comment as to why it took nearly a year for the final report to say that there are No more Recurrences of H5N1? Just seems to me that they are making conclusions like this will be the final report and there are no more outbreaks....without yet knowing for certain, since there's so many pathogens around in animals and people there at present. The recent floods in the eastern regions do little to make me feel it's over.
