If a person is infected with a human influenza and also contracts avian influenza ... the two kinds of influenza could mix and re-assort themselves into a more dangerous strain that could cause easy human-to-human transmission.

As of Wednesday, we haven't seen further outbreaks or human infections.

We need more information to confirm or deny any association with avian influenza or not.

China has learned from the SARS experience and has been more open and more willing to respond to disease outbreaks.

From the information that we have we do not have details that would enable us to deny or confirm the two cases' links to avian influenza.

Some of these people are literally suffering a second tsunami.
