Well this sure is a big non-event. Big deal there's bird flu on a poultry farm, but it isn't H5N1

Yahoo article

I put this here instead of the health forum because the issue is between moronic reporters or shameless sensationalism. Take your pick. I'm going for a mix. They obviously knew it wasn't H5 since they come right out and say so. But I wonder if they know that influenza in birds is as common if not more common than influenza in people.

Gee we had flu in people here. Should the headlines read, "Flu found in humans in every country!" Quick, hold the Onion presses.

Thanks, I've got to run look for auroras but I'll try to see what was different about your link when I have time.

The prize for finding it is a cookie.

I actually made an "error" while transcribing the link, but the yahoo server didn't seem to mind...
