The numbers have already gone up and that report is probably obsolete. It looks like bird flu has been transmitted through three generations in one family, the test has difficulty detecting the new virus, the virus is probably in the food supply, the asymptomatic ducks are hard to monitor, and the number of cases is MUCH higher than the number of reported cases news.google.com

who.int 2 February 2005 Country/ Territory Total cases Deaths Cambodia 1 1 Thailand 17 12 Viet Nam 37 29 Total 55 42 There don't seem to be many survivors and those who do survive must be pretty bedraggled. 4 out of 5 people are dying!! That's 80%. It's pretty obvious that not many people are getting just a touch of flu which is misdiagnosed as something benign, skewing the mortality rate higher. Information 3 weeks old. They don't seem to be updating very often given the importance of the disease.
