Hong Kong confirms human case of bird flu

November 18, 2010 - 1:34PM

Hong Kong has confirmed its first case of bird flu in humans in seven years, with a 59-year-old woman in a serious condition after a visit to mainland China, health officials say.

The government has raised Hong Kong's bird flu alert to "serious", meaning there was a "high risk" of contracting the potentially fatal disease, a spokesman for the Department of Health said.

Health officials said the 59-year-old woman tested positive for Influenza A (H5), a variant of avian influenza, after she was first diagnosed with pneumonia and she was now in a serious condition in hospital.

No, ...   
hope this will not end up in travel restrictions or time consuming checks at the airport or on the ferries.
Last year hysteria was quite bad. Even during check in at the Hong Kong hotel they measured temperature

This will be a good time to invest in stocks of companies producing those thermal scanners or bird flu vaccines. But I suppose since the news is already a day old, the prices of these companies' stocks have already gone up. Hopefully, it doesn't diminish the Macau mongering scene much.

Now is the good time to go out and buy your face masks before the prices go up like last time.

Hahah...remember the SARS times when the prices of these masks skyrocketed. Saw some pictures in the newspapers where ppl resort to using bra cups to cover their nose/mouth instead

If this is the case, would there be a chance that there will be less working girls going to HK or macau? Will they also reduce their rates? hahaha (a far shot) since if there really is a serious case of bird flu in HK, people, or punters, might be less likely to go to HK
