New human cases of H5N1 in China, Egypt and Indonesia

China's latest death from H5N1 is a 16 year old boy. The case is a bit unusual because so far they can find no history between the teenager and poultry and there have been no reported outbreaks in poultry in his area.

Two deaths have initially been attributed to H5N1 by local laboratories in Indonesia. If confirmed by WHO, that will make the 70th and 71st deaths in Indonesia.
