Had a terrible sleep despite being tired. Couldn't stop coughing for an hour at about 5am.
China, which has yet to record any human bird flu cases, mobilised its massive military to try to stamp out the H5N1 virus in poultry after thousands of birds started dropping dead in a village east of Beijing.
The signs are there that bird flu is beginning to travel through the human population. http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/

What makes the above case extremely alarming is that it occured at a school, and official say they 'cannot rule out the possibility of human transmission'. There are new cases reported in China (3 I believe) and 5 more people have died in Indonesia (follow link below).

These reports may seem negligible, but it's analogous to people who call TV networks to complain about an offensive remark. Usually these few cases are symptomatic of a much wider infection that is harder to identify.
There seems like so much to do in this week.
Fortunately the flu has gone from a sore throat to a cough, so I seem to be getting healthier. The body ache is gone.
Going to send another box off today. Time seems to be running out in more ways than one.
