Health care worker is H5N1 positive. Transmission from a patient to a health care worker is the major signal for efficient human to human transmission of bird flu and has just been reported for Thai Binh, Vietnam were there has been significant familial and geographical clustering (in the absence of any reported positive poultry since Feb 5).

Moreover, there may be two co-circulating H5N1 viruses. The one in the south is universally fatal (there have been no reported discharges this season in the south). The H5N1 in the north is more easily transmitted human to human, but not as lethal. However, co-circulation of two distinct genomes in Vietnam will almost certainly lead to more recombination and more versions of the virus.
