Chile detected the first case of H5N1 bird flu in a human, the country’s health ministry reported on Wednesday. The ruling class is “investigating” the source of contagion as well as others who were in contact with the patient.

Isn’t the source birds? That’s what they keep telling us anyway.  This case was detected in a 53-year-old man who presented severe influenza symptoms, according to a statement issued by the ministry, but they noted the patient was in stable condition, according to a report by Reuters.
