Another Human To Human Transfer Of Bird Flu

This isn't what we want to hear about bird flu.

(Reuters/Yahoo) - An Indonesian man who died of bird flu after nursing his sick son may have caught the virus in a case of direct human-to-human transmission, but the virus did not spread very far if this did happen, the World Health Organization said on Tuesday.

The 32-year-old man from Kubu Sembelang village in the Karo District of North Sumatra is the latest to die and WHO said Indonesian health officials had confirmed he was infected with the virus.

"The father was closely involved in caring for his son, and this contact is considered a possible source of infection," WHO said in a statement

The WHO says that the bird flu virus or H5N1 is not spreading easy between humans, which is the first step in a pandemic according to the WHO. To me it would seem the first step would be the ability to spread to humans. Then the second step would be the ease of the spread. But what do I know.
