The Bangkok Post reports that avian H5N1 has apparently re-emerged in northern Thailand, big time. Reports vary, but 30-34 people are under quarantine with flu symptoms. No test results yet.
Thailand is under review for an extension of their EU poultry import ban, so I expect major spinning from the government. Remember, this is the home country of CP and their powerful poultry lobby.
