Thailand Confirms 20th Flu Case
Oct. 31, 2005
(CBS/AP) A woman in a northern suburb of the Thai capital of Bangkok has been diagnosed with bird flu, Deputy Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said Monday.
The 50-year-old woman, who is recovering in Bangkok's Siriraj Hospital, is the country's 20th human victim of the disease since 2003, and the third this year. Thirteen of those infected by the virus died.
"Perhaps what we should do is give each person a gun, and when we see a migrating bird, we can just shoot it down, so Hong Kong would be a much safer place."
Hong Kong lawmaker Tommy Cheung.
Maybe after that we can shoot each other...just to be sure.
