Hi Smash

From July 18, ABC radio interview:
Queensland Health's Dr Brad McCall said:
Quote:
"In these cases I am not permitted to comment on how serious or otherwise the nature of the situation is for these individuals. However I can say that they are well, continuing under medical supervision."
So that was from over a week ago... we can only presume they are still alive????

Same interview, Dr James Gilkerson from the Equine Veterinarians' Association said
“I think that veterinary research in Australia in general is woefully underfunded, particularly in the horse area. Hendra is particularly important because it's one of the few diseases of horses that are going to infect people, right, and have caused deaths in the past.”

Lets hope someone was listening.
