The WHO's figures as of August 5, 2005[2] indicate the H5N1 avian flu in humans was reported as follows (deaths/total cases):
* Indonesia: 1/1
* Vietnam: 40/90
* Thailand: 12/17
* Cambodia: 4/4
Total figures are 57 deaths with a total of 112 human cases.
You do the math, according to those stats, the death rate is 51% And that does not include the other person who died last week.
