Vietnam's reporting of the poultry and human outbreaks has been the most inclusive of any country, and so the high mortality of recent human cases has serious implications of one form or another; either non-lethal cases are being overlooked and the human tally for this one tiny country is understated, with implications that it may be a paradigm for what's going on in all of Indonesia. Or, the virus has gotten nastier and the high mortality throughout Indonesia is reflective of that.
