 “‘Bird Flu’ victim a drug mule?: A man who sparked a bird flu scare when he became ill on a flight to Sydney from Vietam may have been a drug courier suffering after a heroin-filled condom in his stomach burst.
   Federal Police and the Ambulance Service of NSW declined to comment on reports that the man was a drug courier trying to smuggle heroin into Sydney.
   Ambulance officers reportedly saved the man by giving him Narcan, used to treat heroin overdoses.”

> Nothing about ineffectual quarantine or even a letter to the editor. Does anyone care!?

MAN CLEARED AFTER BIRD FLU SCARE IN ADELAIDE:

There has been a bird flu scare in Adelaide, with a man reporting flu-like symptoms after returning from China.

The 50-year-old man was taken to Royal Adelaide Hospital this afternoon complaining of flu-like symptoms.

He had returned from China yesterday and had a fever and breathing difficulties.

Ambulance crews took immediate precautions, treating the case as suspected bird flu.

But the Health Department has now issued a statement saying the man was not carrying the potentially fatal virus.

 No word on Quarantine specifics….what about_(Who seems to care???)
