Vietnam: Commentary: What if this was a mutation or a combination of H5N1 & H1N1?

What if this was a mutation or a combination of H5N1 & H1N1. What if it mutated to become more transmissible and was more lethal?
Do you want to wait for the English language AP Reports, or do you want to rely on the translated material from the Country?

9 days – from the initial story to the first AP report.

Thank you Treyfish. Going into Countries and translating their news, and bringing it to our attention, takes dedication, patience, and is very time consuming.

Monday, April 5th:

Treyfish broke the story of the 22 yo, confirmed. Also 4 others hospitalized.

Friday, April 9th:

Treyfish broke the story of 9 more cases (suspected) hospitalized, with shortness of breath, fever, cough. 5 of them family members.

We waited 4 more days.

The first AP Report came on April 13th.
