This is a strange story -- and, of course, might not have anything to do with H5N1, but ... an Indonesian man working in Taiwan has died -- the initial diagnosis the doc gave him was influenza, but it sounds like the cause of death is not yet clear. I *think* the article is saying that he's been working in Taiwan since Aug 1 and died around Sept 8 (other interpretations are welcome!).
The thing is, the story appears in the Jawa Post's 'Radar Tulungagung' section so the guy must've been from somewhere near there. We've already seen bf in Tulungagung, including suspected human cases. What came to mind was the case of the Egyptian guy who worked in Jordan and who, apparently, caught bf at home in Egypt and brought it with him to Jordan....
