Post your news stories that don't seem to be H5N1 news, but might be notable or possibly related. Also, apparent outbreaks of other easily-passible diseases...

This question is directed primarily, but not necessarily exclusively, to each of the Wiki's M.D.'s. What are your overall thoughts about how today's approach to the H5N1 threat could (should?) be affected by the recent findings about bacterial pneumonia infections in the 1918 pandemic deaths?
I'm guessing you're going to get more than a few specific questions from everyone else, but I'll go ahead and start with these:
My understanding is that so far, autopsies on human H5N1 deaths have been sparse. I also understand that the average time between onset of symptoms and the human H5N1 deaths that have occurred so far has been on the order of 8 to 10 days, with a lot of variance. How compatible is this with deaths being caused by secondary bacterial infections?
Have many of the human H5N1 cases so far been treated (aggressively or otherwise) with antibiotics? The results?
What changes, if any, do you think you might make in your own preps?

DH and I have had either pneumonia or bronchitis. He's goin on his 3rd week, though much better, he still has a bit of a cough, and feels a bit of malaise. I must have caught it from him, and I'm going on my 2nd week, and feel very worn out, though a bit better every day. (You may ask, "Why didn't you 2 fools go to the doctor, and have it diagnosed????" Well, we're stubborn fools, who never seem to get around to making the appointment! :-) )
There are a lot of my co-workers, who say they have "walking pneumonia"; a family friend's wife and kids had what we had. I've also heard about a sharp increase of this thing DH and I had in our general area. Everyone comments on how strange this is, especially so late in the season. I just wondered if anyone else has noticed this where they live. You all know how paranoid I am!
