Actualizando, este ano de 2004 começou praticamente sem gripe. O surto do final do ano passado é mesmo passado. È possível que ainda haja um novo surto antes do final do inverno.

Na europa a situação é semelhante. Portugal como foi dos primeiros a sofrer o surto de gripe, é também dos primeiros a ver-se livre dele. Apenas na Suíça e na Eslovénia ainda há um número de casos significativo.

Já passei por ela, mas olha que ela ainda anda por aí! pelo menos ainda ouço muitas queixas.
Se calhar são como eu, não vão ao médico!
Thailand confirms human cases of bird flu
Associated Press
Bangkok — A man suspected of having bird flu died Friday and two boys have been infected, the Thai government said, while Cambodia became the sixth Asian nation with a confirmed outbreak of the disease.
Beijing — China confirmed Tuesday that it has found bird flu in dead ducks on a southern farm and is tracking “suspect” cases in two other provinces, while Thailand said a young boy became the eighth victim of the disease in its deadliest outbreak since 1997.
Laos joined China, taking the total number of countries hit by the flu to 10. The virus sweeping Asia also has prompted the slaughter of tens of millions of birds.

Hamburg, Germany — Doctors in Germany are examining a woman suspected of contracting bird flu during a recent trip to Thailand, officials in Hamburg said Monday.
The woman complained nausea, dizziness and fever after returning from a trip to Thailand on Saturday, the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine said in a statement.
Initial medical tests have not confirmed bird flu. Further test results were expected later Monday, the institute said.
Bird flu toll climbs again
Bangkok — Health and food experts from around the world opened an emergency meeting Tuesday on Asia's bird-flu outbreak as the death toll rose to 14 and UN officials sought to dampen fears of the virus's striking large numbers of people.
A seven-year-old boy became the fourth person to die from the disease in Thailand and an 18-year-old man died in Vietnam, the 10th fatality there.
An outbreak in China's poultry stocks, meanwhile, appeared to widen with newly confirmed or suspected cases reported in six provinces.
Study shows how flu jumps from birds to humans
By ANDRÉ PICARD
From Friday's Globe and Mail
Groundbreaking research using the virus that caused the worst influenza epidemic in history, the Spanish flu of 1918, has provided some intriguing clues about how the flu jumps from birds to humans and how a bird virus can catch the human immune system off-guard, with devastating consequences.
