Also a Cambodia case from same site - did a search but didn't find anything, which I thought was strange.

Cambodia case reads:

A five-year-old Cambodian girl has died from bird flu, the World Health Organisation said Wednesday, in the first reported fatality from the virus since early last year. The girl fell ill in the capital Phnom Penh on January 30 and was taken to hospital with symptoms of coughing and shortness of breath, a joint statement from Cambodia and the UN's public health arm said. She died on February 4. "Despite intensive medical care, the girl died 12 hours after admission from complications,"

I didn't get a flu shot last year and guess what, I got the flu. So I got one this year, and so far so good. I always drink orange juice everyday and I really think that helps too.

Well, I have allergy problems and seem to get sick easier than some. Not advocating flu shots or anything, just a personal note. I just seem to get sick less when I get a flu shot.

Thats why my personal account matters along with yours, we are each different genetically, lifestlye, culture, geographic etc etc and life will effect us accordingly.

Just to add I am now 41 I have never had a flu shot and Ive had flu once when i was 23 (not pleasent i must add but then its the flu not a cold so not unexpected)

Well, I work in a school and there are always lots of sneezing, coughing, fevers and I'm the one they come to when they're sick and need to call home. I usually get sneezed on a couple of times a day So, I have to be a little extra careful. The orange juice, though, I think really helps alot too.

That would be a lifestyle difference as i described but just to throw a spanner in the works I worked until a couple of years ago in a large school of 1750 kids and I did not get the flu

OMG...If I worked around that many kids, I think I would wear one of those bio-hazard suits.
