	CDC - Avian Influenza (Flu) \| Key Facts About Avian Influenza
		The H5N1 virus does not infect humans easily, and if a person is infected, it is very difficult for the virus to spread to another person.
		However, experts from around the world are watching the H5N1 situation in Asia and Europe very closely and are preparing for the possibility that the virus may begin to spread more easily and widely from person to person.
		The H5N1 virus that has caused human illness and death in Asia is resistant to amantadine and rimantadine, two antiviral medications commonly used for influenza.

	H5N1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An avian-adapted, highly pathogenic strain of H5N1 (called HPAI A(H5N1), for "highly pathogenic avian influenza virus of type A of subtype H5N1") is the causative agent of H5N1 flu, commonly known as "avian influenza" or simply "bird flu", and is endemic in many bird populations, especially in Southeast Asia.
		H5N1 is a subtype of the species Influenza A virus of the Influenzavirus A genus of the Orthomyxoviridae family.
		The earliest infections of humans by H5N1 coincided with an epizootic (an epidemic in nonhumans) of H5N1 influenza in Hong Kong's poultry population.

	H5n1 Flu and H5N1 Virus
		H5N1 is a highly pathogenic strain of avian influenza (bird flu) with the first instance of the flu recorded in Hong Kong in 1997.
		H5N1 is able to infect people because it is able to cross the species-barrier.

	Avian flu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As of 2006, "avian flu" is being commonly used to refer to the H5N1 subtype of Influenza A virus, the world's major flu pandemic threat.
		"An outbreak of influenza A (H5N1), also known as 'avian flu' or 'bird flu,' has been reported in several countries throughout Asia." Being known as is distinguished from actually being.
		"According to the World Health Organization, avian flu, specifically the H5N1 strain, has been reported in birds, both wild and tame, in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Africa since 2003." Here H5N1 is called a strain of "avian flu"; not distinguishing between a disease and a causative agent of a disease.

	H5N1 Wild Bird Flu in Qinghai China
		H5N1 in dead waterfowl was unexpected because most waterfowl are resistant in to H5N1 and most avian influenza in waterfowl are low pathogenic avian influenza.
		H5N1 in bar-headed geese was a concern because they are long range migratory birds that can travel 1000 miles in a day, thereby spreading H5N1 far and wild.
		H5N1 from humans or cats had E627K, and the presence of E627K in H5N1 from mammals was linked to a poor prognosis.

	CIDRAP >> H5N1 avian flu viruses: What's in a name?
		In an analogy Halvorson uses with his students, he said that assuming that all H5N1 viruses are identical would be like assuming that all men wearing navy blazers and gray pants are the same in other ways.
		As the virulent H5N1 virus continues to evolve and kill poultry in Eurasia, Halvorson predicted, scientists may turn toward a hitherto unthinkable option: a live influenza vaccine for poultry.
		But with the H5N1 virus now present in 15 or more countries and endemic in several of them, using a live vaccine may be worth the risk, he said.

		The spread of H5N1 across southern Siberia and northern Kazakhstan (see map) has focus attention on these birds which are about to cross the Ural and enter Russian Europe.
		Similarly, the migration of H5N1 from northern Siberia to Finland would suggest that similar migrations between northern Siberia and Alaska are possible and/or likely.

	H5N1 Avian Influenza Information for Providers: Bureau of Communicable Diseases : NYC DOHMH
		Especially in those cases where avian H5N1 influenza is strongly suspected (e.g., known exposure to confirmed human case or infected poultry overseas), the patient should be admitted to the hospital until laboratory test results are available to confirm or rule out H5N1 infection.
		The decision to hospitalize a suspected avian H5N1 influenza case will be based on the physician's clinical evaluation and assessment of epidemiologic risk factors, on whether adequate precautions can be taken at home to prevent the potential spread of infection, and on whether the patient will be readily available for follow up.
		Avian H5N1 influenza patients should be isolated from patients with seasonal influenza, since such measures may decrease the risk of co-infection and viral genetic reassortment.

		The boy in the study was the last patient in the three waves of human H5N1 cases in Thailand to date, according to the report.
		Because probable human-to-human transmission of H5N1 has been reported at least once, "This case should be a reminder of the necessity to carefully handle and transport serum or plasma samples suspected to be infected with H5N1 avian influenza," the report states.
		Given the previous report of H5N1 RNA in blood, the virus's presence in blood "is not a new concept," he added.

		OK the risque of the H5N1 transferring to a virus that could spread man to man is not to be underestimated.
		Whatever your own personal conclusions are concerning H5N1, and its potential ability to mutate into a human/human form, well, it really doesn’t concern me. I’ve gotten my information from top doctors of infectious diseases, and they are not controlled by a pharmaceutical scam to sell drugs.
		If you or anyone else thinks it is all a hoax, then please keep it to yourself, or try to explain it to the families of those in Indonesia who have already died of it.
