- Hello, Jeff - Avian Flu is spreading rapidly in
Egypt. Now case 109 confirmed and there is one more case, that I know
of, that is pending confirmation. Probably will be confirmed in the next
day or two. Bird Flu hasn't gone away...and won't anytime soon.
Sooner or later, H5N1 and H1N1 may hook up. Lord help us if that happens.

Sporadic human cases of avian influenza (H5N1) virus infection continue
to be reported in Egypt. Usually they are associated with contact with
diseased birds, although that has not been confirmed in this new case.
