Deadly Cambodian Brid flu


english.pravda.ru
If the catastrophic events in Japan werent enough with so many homeless and missing, now theres a new version of H5N1 that is 85% fatal spreading in Cambodia.
If this were to make its way to japan right now, it could be a major blow to the whole nation.
Not to mention the inherant dangers in rapis travel to all parts of the world available these days, its just a matter of time.....

That's a high mortality rate but it doesn't appear to be very common..
Let's hope it stays that way.

Of the 13 cases of human H5N1 virus infection confirmed since 2005 in Cambodia, 11 have been fatal.

Always the chance that it could change/mutate. But thank you for adding that bit in there. There is still very low human to human transmission, and most every case has been where someone was in contact with an infected bird.
