H5N1 Flu Update

Bioengineers at Work
It has been a month or two since we had our SNBAL over the avain flu so this is just a quick update. Indionesia has recently had a few more fatalities bringing their year-to-date numbers to 16-cases, and 14 deaths. Iraq and Cambodia are now also reporting cases of avian flu with numbers of 2-cases, and 2-deaths each. Also Egypt and Turkey are close behind Indonesia in cases reported with 13 and 12 respectively. People who are comming down with H5N1 are still the people who work around birds. The flu is continuously spreading and by some estimates North America will be producing cases of avian flu in the next few months.
