Bird flu claims another victim after pandemic cost warning
STEPHANIE NEBEHAY, Geneva November 08 2005
VIETNAM confirmed the latest human death from bird flu early this morning, after the World Bank warned that a pandemic lasting a year may cost the global economy up to $800bn (£458bn).
The country's 42nd victim of the disease, and its first in more than three months, was a 35-year-old man from Hanoi.
He tested positive for the H5N1 strain after his death at a Hanoi hospital on October 29, said Nguyen Van Binh, deputy director of the Preventive Medicine Department under the Ministry of Health.
