Vietnam Boy tested for Bird flu

In vietnam, a three year old little boy has been tested for the deadly bird flu virus doctors announced last thursday. The situation of the boy is getting worse. Another doctor from the Municipal Pasteur Institute, said that they will test the boy again to make sure the infection is for surely positive. Vietnam has the worlds second-highest bird flu death count just behind Indonesia with 54 deaths. This three year old boy is the 4th infection reported this year. This virus is typically spread from birds to humans by direct contact but many experts fear that it could and will eventually mutate into a virus form that will be easily spread from human to human. If this happends, the virus could potentially kill millions in a panademic.
