| 2006-08-22 |
| (PRWEB) August 19, 2006 -- There is a lot of nervous talk circulating on an online discussion forum, Avian Flu Talk, concerning a mystery disease that has killed 14 people in the last two weeks located in the Nuwakot District of South Asia. This disease was first detected in dogs and chickens in the last week of June and had started spreading to humans in Netini. The symptoms of the disease are high fever along with bleeding from nose and mouth at the time of death, which is similar to that of the bird flu virus. The bird flu virus was previously suspected in Nuwakot District on February 24, 2006 in which thousands of chickens began to die. With the developments regarding a lethal disease now spreading in that area, alarm bells are sure to ring among the local residents. For up to the minute developments on this quickly unfolding story, there is an online discussion forum in which people from all around the world are discussing this latest event. For all of those who are interested in following this story and to see what others are saying, we would strongly encourage you to visit this website located at www.Avianflutalk.com. There is also a developing bird flu cluster in the Bandung area (again). Reports indicate beyween 10 and 16 people infected. |

| #7 I've no idea, wxjames. That's just what everyone says when someone's screen shows Steve White as pink instead of salmon. I imagine, though, it's something one finds messing about with the control panel. |

| #4 Sorry -- you meant the click-through site? I saw that as black text on a white background, with blue bits. Does that help? |

| #3 Ty resetting your colour thingies, wxjames, and perhaps click on the View drop-down menu to increase the text size. I see the text as almost navy blue on white, with the headlines a reddish brown, and the comment thread the same blue against pale yellow. What colour highlight do Steve White's comments appear to you as? ;-) |
