Few years ago new type pneumonia SARS -sever acute respiratery syndrom was found among Chinese in China sporadically and later cases of bird flu started to be reported among south east Asia. At that time we hadn't decided whether two incidents were related each other.
Since then here in Japan, cases of bird flu were reported occasionally in different parts of Japan, all infected chickens were terminated and still we haven't found the patients of new type pneumonia. We are still arguing whether bird flu is transmissable to humans.
This news was new to me. If it were true, bird flu is in general transmissable to humans. That could kill this large population. In Asia public hygiene remains to be higher priority.--
