Re: China: H5N1 infected poultry -- symptomless

Thus spake Jill <news@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
"This means out of every 100 birds in wet markets, one is positive
and infected with the virus. They look healthy but they can infect
others and they can kill people," Guan told Reuters on Friday.
<snipped for brevity >

But this is not news - mortality has always been put at around 90% If
anything one should have expected the figure in chickens and similarly
affected birds to have been higher!!!!

Yes, but this looks like a completely different picture. This is not a
new or rare disease but a widespread virus that occasionally mutates
into something nasty.
