Report: Chinese man dies of bird flu
A 39-year-old man in southern China died Saturday from what appears to be a contagious strain of avian flu, state media reported Saturday.
The man - identified by Xinhua as a bus driver with the surname Chen - was hospitalized in Shenzhen on December 21 as he battled a fever. He tested positive for the H5N1 avian influenza virus, the provincial health department said in a statement, according to the official news agency.
The man had not traveled out of the city of Shenzhen, nor did he have direct contact with poultry in the month before he came down with the fever, according to the department.
Shenzhen borders Hong Kong, where more than 17,000 chickens were ordered culled on the same day that Chen was hospitalized. That decision came after a chicken carcass tested positive for avian flu.

Still, many more birds die through the hands of humans.
Experts fear H5N1 hold the potential to trigger a pandemic because of its ability to mutate rapidly. However, up until recently it has remained very much a disease of birds. Those humans who have been infected were, without exception, working closely with birds, and cases of human-to-human transmission are extremely rare – there is no suggestion that H5N1 has gained the ability to pass easily from person to person...
@observation
The article writes the victim was a bus driver with no contact with birds.
SAVE ALL BIRDS and SAVE ALL BEDBUGS!
this should be a leson for all, bird lovin is wrong..
,.
if you must make love to a bird.. wipe your thingy off after you done and wash your hands...
The experts also say that the emergence of a high-virulence form of H5N1 that is highly transmissable among humans seems nearly inevitable, and would cause a devastating pandemic. Let's hope he had chickens on that bus.
china needs a good bird flu outbreak... maybe the zombie outbreak will start there...
.
chineese zombies.. i hope they can't be trained to make stuff for walmart..
Avian flu, boyyyee! *cough*
