Boxun is reporting that there have been 77 H5N1 deaths in Liaoning Province. Many of the dead were outside workers brought in to help cull the birds. The above list includes the names, ages, and origins of some of the deceased workers. All are listed as dying from H5N1 and being cremated.
If the above numbers are accurate, the level of transmission of H5N1 from birds to humans would be markedly more efficient than reported for outbreaks in other countries such as Vietnam, where reports indicate that no workers involved in culling of H5N1 developed symptoms.
There have been four reported H5N1 outbreaks in Liaoning Province in the past few weeks and the use of three different vaccines suggests control of the spread of infections has not been controlled. Since migratory birds have been implicated in the infections and spread, control in Liaoning Province and elsewhere in China will be difficult.
