More Bird Flu

Cases of Avian flu in Asia are on the rise with a bird flu hospital in Jakarta overwhelmed with patients exhibiting symptoms and Thailand experiencing its first outbreak among birds in the last six months. Recent cases in China, Vietnam, Hong Kong and possibly Japan have also prompted concern that the seasonal resurgence could spread outside the region as in past years - following a path to the Middle East, then Europe and Africa. (One of the best resources for tracking the latest information on Avian flu throughout the world is the Flu Wiki's News section.)
