Thanks to Dutchy, a senior moderator on Flutrackers, we have a translation of a very recent report from Detiknews.com stating that the five suspected cases on Riau have tested negative.
This is an unusually fast turn-around for H5N1 testing, and since reports from the field tend `evolve' with time, this may not be the final word on these patients. Until we hear otherwise, however, I'll take this as good news.
Once again, an extraordinary effort by our newshounds to keep us informed. My thanks to all of them.
