Remember that the Indonesian fellow in the CFR transcripts said that the nine people who died there were, and I quote, "only the tip of the iceberg". He admitted that they had no idea about the number of humans who had it or had died.
Honestly, we really have no idea what H5N1 is doing in asia, and I doubt we will for some time--not until it's too late.
When the most reliable information about the current state of H5N1 viral evolution is found on a personal translation of a smuggled underground Chinese dissident internet publication, because the freaking Chinese won't pay full death benefit fees if the true cause of death is disclosed--
we live in danger of a pandemic overtaking us before we even know it's there.
