[Recombinomics Whats New] H5N1 Reporting Failures In Indonesia Raise Concerns: This speculation was based on testing procedures in Indonesia, which initially did not involve cases that were not transferred to infectious disease hospitals. Thus, patients who recovered were released with an unknown diagnosis or a mis-diagnosis of dengue fever or typhus.
[Journal] Three more Indonesian H5N1 human positives: The denial of the cluster by the director general of communicable disease control in Indonesia raises serious transparency problems, and is similar to denials of H5N1 in the first confirmed cluster in Indonesia, almost three years ago. Those cases were initially said to have died from bacterial pneumonia, although the father was subsequently H5N1 confirmed, and the H5N1 from that patient is a target for vaccines directed to clade 2.1, the clade of H5N1 in Indonesia.
[Recombinomics Whats New] Another H5N1 Cluster Denial in Indonesia: In addition to the cluster denials, confirmation of cases is also delayed. One case described in local media has not been confirmed, and there is a cluster of five family members with symptoms, but typhus has again been mentioned, even though birds in the neighborhood died suddenly.
[JAKARTA -INDONESIA- URBAN BLOG] Jakarta (news, books, and sex): by Alison Lester, which portrays an initially confrontational but ultimately sensual encounter between a free-spirited ex-pat who likes to walk around her apartment without clothing, and a traditional South Asian laborer who claims that her nakedness offends him.

[Journal] Is the WHO Symphony Orchestra playing the overture to Phase Four?: Now, just today, the Chinese have come forward with conclusive evidence that the infection of a 24-year old Chinese man last November/December and the subsequent infection of the man's father was, indeed, another case of H2H. As you might recall from my blog, Cones, umbrellas, Chinese fathers, and H2H, the Chinese were ready to explain the second infection as anything from both being exposed to common bird poop to the father chewing on the son's clothing while in hospital.
[Medclinician's Avian Pandemic News] Your on the Air - Comment Guidelines: It is simple enough to go over to CDC or any accurate WHO percent chart and read this stuff. They may not be reporting all the cases - but they certainly are probably up to speed on how lethal they are.

[Jakarta - Indonesia - Urbanblog] Year Beginning: The more trips I made into and out of Jakarta the more compelling the city became to me. The metaphor on one hand was that of an overloaded speeding truck, belching diesel smoke, speeding down the jalan tol with one of its front wheels about to come off, on the other hand the city woke up, tired to move, ground to halt, and on the third hand (this is Jakarta after all), a pleasant Sunday drive to Jakarta Kota, coffee and breakfast at the Batavia Café, a walk around the old town, people just living their lives.
[Effect Measure] Indonesia plays the Intellectual Property card: The military considered doing away with the flu shots all together during the Clinton years because they really couldnt find any correlation between cost of the vaccine and the days off that someone was sick. They would spend millions on vaccines, then maybe a guy/girl would come back in still honking, coughing, maybe infectious or not and still have the supervisors send them back to the barracks because they were too sick to work.
[energeticneurons.bloghorn.com] Avian Flu Update: but plagues can impact on my family in ways that (maybe) could be prepared-for, so I must know what can be discovered about them. This does not take away from the lovely sunshine outdoors, and the fact that those dear kids are now emerging from bed and will want breakfast.
