 [Nature.com] news @ nature.com - Bird flu 2005: the ongoing story - News@nature ...: Tashiro wrote that in his talk he merely pointed out that the World Heath Organisation's official numbers of H5N1 human cases in China include only those that have been confirmed in a laboratory - and they may be an underestimate, since the surveillance system in China is poor. Tashiro notes that he discussed some of the rumoured cases but adds he does "not think that the Chinese Authority will conceal the facts from the world".

 [Effectmeasure.blogspot.com] Effect Measure: In the days before "bird flu every time, all the time," and about the time EM started, Amnesty International USA (AIUSA) released a report expressing concern about the increasing use of tasers in the US, documenting about 70 taser-associated deaths in people hit by this "non-lethal" weapon in North America. Many of the fatalities also were individuals under the influence of drugs or alcohol, so coroners tended to discount the role of the taser in the sudden deaths, although there was increasing concern that the tasers were combining with drugs or alcohol to cause the deaths.

 [Sciencenewsblog.com] Science News Blog -- Bird Flu / Avian Flu: "There is more and more evidence building up that wild migratory birds do play some role in spreading the virus, but personally I believe -- and others agree -- that it's not a major role," said Ward Hagemeijer, a wild bird ecologist with Wetlands International, a conservation group in Wageningen, Netherlands. "If we would assume based on this evidence that wild birds would be a major carrier of the disease we would expect a more dramatic outbreak of the disease all over the world." Unfortunately, bird flu doesn't appear to be having much difficulty in spreading -- with or without the help of migratory birds.
