"Five members of a family in Pakistan are among eight people who may be the country's first human cases of bird flu, the World Health Organization
said. At least one brother died. "
Also!!! Get this! One of the relatives and his son went to Pakistan from the U.S. for the funeral of the victim, and came back to the U.S.
The father came in w/ flu like symptoms then later the son started to get flu like symptoms.
They went into voluntary isolation and supposedly they got tested for bird flu and it came back negative but they people didnt bother to do a second
test. Usually 2nd tests are done to fully comfirm because the people may have taken some type of tamiflu like meds or w/e, no one knows.
So...I am not sure what to say about this one but they were around the sick people and came back sick, only one test was done so this is like trial
and error. they should have done another test i think.
Also, the people are out of isolation but.....what if the contagious period isnt over just yet?
These people live in NY.
