Sobre la gripe aviar que a todos nos preocupa (un poco), leo en un periódico turco que han dado de alta a los cuatro últimos afectados y que consideran que la amenaza de pandemia ha terminado. Todo en el enlace de
Turquish Daily News (en inglés):

Four of the last suspected bird flu patients - two of them confirmed to have contracted the deadly H5N1 strain - have been discharged from a hospital in eastern Turkey, signaling an end to the recent outbreak, a doctor said Saturday.

One confirmed bird flu patient was still hospitalized, a Health Ministry official said. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because Turkish civil servants cannot speak to the media without prior authorization.

Among the four released Friday from the hospital in Van were two children who had confirmed H5N1 infections. They had both been in critical condition but then improved markedly.

"The children were under treatment for nearly a month, and they were sent home after they apparently recovered from bird flu," said Dr. Ahmet Faik Öner of Van Yüzüncü Yıl University Hospital, where the four confirmed bird flu deaths in Turkey occurred.

"The crisis in Van is 95 percent over," Öner told The Associated Press. "There might be sporadic [bird flu] cases in the future, but I don't think we'll face a new epidemic."
