ray; [NVAX] Thousands of people quarantined in Bucharest as Romania battles bird flu Mon May 22, 2:31 PM ET Some 13,000 people were quarantined in a quarter of the Romanian capital Bucharest as troops and police sealed off streets in response to the city's second bird flu outbreak, officials said. The mayor of the southern fourth district, Adrian Inimaroiu, said residents would be cut off and all businesses in the area would be closed during the quarantine period of up to three weeks. The move came after the agriculture ministry earlier Monday confirmed the presence of the H5 bird flu virus in dead chickens found in the neighbourhood, the latest of dozens of outbreaks of avian flu in Romania this spring. "About 40 streets have been blocked" in the Luica quarter, Inimaroiu said, urging residents to stay calm. He said the quarantine would last for a "period of a week to 21 days and all the institutions in this quarter will be closed". "About 2,500 birds from this area will be slaughtered as rapidly as possible," the mayor said. Police and troops were seen on the streets of the district Monday afternoon. A neighbourhood on the northern outskirts of the capital was put under quarantine Sunday evening with fences blocking a dozen streets and police preventing anyone from going in or out, except for medical emergencies. A total of 38 outbreaks of bird flu have been recorded in Romania in the past 10 days, with 26 unconfirmed cases, according to the agriculture ministry. Tests conducted at the European reference laboratory in Weybridge, England, have confirmed the presence of the potentially deadly H5N1 strain of the virus in seven samples taken from central Brasov county, including one from an industrial farm that was the source of the latest spread of the disease. Authorities say it is still unclear whether the virus found in Bucharest originated from this location. ------------------------------------------------------------ Looks like their may be more follow through on Flu stocks. upagain AH.

Ray, The NAZ gave me a sell signal on May 8 when the 2nd rally attempt was cut short (first attempt ended on Apr.27) That was confirmed by the DOW on May 10 & since I was due to be out of town for the second half of the month, I decided to take profits on most of the substantial gains since January.<g> Today's "rally" ended at 1.55PM & the attempt to stop the drop at 3PM was good for only 20 minutes. The NAZ closed almost at yesterday's intraday L but the DOW was more than 50 points above yesterday's L. (Of course the DOW has been outperforming the NAZ since mid-April, but both remain on a near term downtrend) finance.yahoo.com However, from a longer term perspective (30 years ) the NAZ is still ahead of the DOW <g> finance.yahoo.com
