Hey Nigel;

Great blog with some interesting comments - thanks for posting.

My gosh, that they can't even pin down which month the infections took place in, sure is an enlightening reminder of the hidden places in the world where the flu will likely make a jump to humans - if it does. Fascinating read.

Nigel;

These bird flu "clusters" are becoming more ominous. The most recent is 6 family members in Indonesia. This story doesn't seem to have been picked up by major news sources ....yet.

Meanwhile dead birds all over the world are turning up positive; just in last day or two, some in germany, hong kong, russia.

Looks like no meaningful H2H, but the strain must be evolving for 6 from the same family to have become infected by same source?
