Canadian H5N1 (bird flu) Victim's Symptoms Not Typical | |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 2890226 Canada01/10/2014 07:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I find it quite odd (like a lottery win) that this girl goes to China for a visit and contracts H5N1, mean while over a billion Chinese and millions of visitors to China have not contracted H5N1 in over a year. Quoting: Wash Or odd like a movie where an infected person is ill during air travel and has exposure to most likely a 747s worth of passengers over a 15 hour period. I imagine she came from China through Vancouver/YVR and then to Edmonton in some manner. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 52707979  Hong Kong01/10/2014 07:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | EDMONTON - The World Health Organization has confirmed that North America's first H5N1 patient was a woman in her late 20s. Quoting: Wash One of the WHO's flu experts says the agency would like more information on her illness, because initial reports have suggested her symptoms were not entirely typical of H5N1 infections. There have been no recent H5N1 outbreaks reported by China, but the timing of the woman's symptoms suggest she must have been infected there.

Bird Flu and Swine Flu both originated in Canada. They may have had worse outbreaks in China due to population density, but they are not the incubators of such disease. Factory farming is where they usually start. |

I imagine she came from China through Vancouver/YVR and then to Edmonton in some manner. I would have to say the flight route sounds about right. And yes, odd like that. However, no one else has had any symptoms (that we know of), anywhere. It is really weird. |

Em18966  User ID: 46357440  United States01/10/2014 07:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Patient zero. Think about it though, I wonder if this avian flu would present differently in people from the West with zero exposure or immunities. Like, they've had a certain number of confirmed cases over there in China, but I'm sure the number of people who actually became infected is much higher - like with the H1N1 or West Nile. I bet a lot of people are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms and build up an immunity. They are carriers and sharers but don't the worst of the symptoms. So you'd imagine that a certain percentage of the Chinese/Asian population has some form of immunity to this thing. Over here in the West, we have nothing - it's completely novel. So when it hit her, it took her out like smallpox on a Native American. |

Factory farming is where they usually start. Just splitting hairs here but both the original virii are much older than recent outbreaks. Also, I remember the recent swine flu outbreak in 2009 coming from Mexico. Both Avian/Bird/H5N1 (and sars) were Asia. |
