Via Reuters: Four treated in Indonesia for H5N1 symptoms. The real story is not the number of suspected cases, but the casual attitude of the "patients":
Separately, a local health ministry official said three out of five people admitted to hospital on Indonesia's Sulawesi island this week with bird-flu like symptoms were related.
"Three are related, they are cousins," said Ida Bagus Yadnya Putra, head of communicable disease control at the health ministry in Central Sulawesi province.
The official said that dead chickens had been found around their homes."They came to hospital to get medicine but refused to stay for treatment. They didn't come to the hospital at the same time. Now, they are getting better."
Blood samples from the five had also been sent to Jakarta for testing.
Amazing.
