bird flu, human to human
The recent Indonesia example is the most prominent one, but experts are acknowledging there are more human-to-human transfers of H5N1 bird flu than have been officially announced. I'm sure they are being cautious but one effort to link a Vietnamese victim to bird flu by saying it was from eating duck soup 16 days earlier (and NOT from his sick brother) is particularly absurd.
H5N1 clearly has not mastered the trick of human-to-human transmission. But it has made a few successful leaps. Will this be just an intermittent thing that will disappear again? Or will it make the final recombination or mutation that will make the virus efficient at going from one person to another?
