MS cant even lie well in his blog. The current avaian flu outbreak is H5N8. The more dangerous H5N1 flu outbreak was in 2008.
The 2014 flu is a very different strain of flu (not anywhere near as bad in Korea as the 2008 outbreak). Only one cross species case of the flu has been reported where it moved to a dog over a month ago. The reported cases peaked more than 6 weeks ago and have been coming down quickly.
The flu has migrated north to Korea and Japan (whih isthe normal pattern with avian flu).
If youare looking for a way to guage the impact of the avian flu in Korea you should check out the Yum Brands conference call for Q1. It is on April 23rd. The word on the Street is that the 2014 outbreak in China and Korea did not impact KFC Asia anywhere near a much as the 2008 and 2013 outbreaks. Their restaurants saw some slowdown but are back selling chicken in full force.
