Isn't it difficult to contract bird flu from well-cooked chicken? It would seem that his handling of an infected chicken would be the #1 probability, and that eating raw/insufficiently cooked chicken would be a #2 possibility.

From the content of that article, it sounds like eating roasted meat from an infected chicken was the reason for his possible infection.

This is an ideal place to send our boy Wan. He can do a first hand inspection for his training at the Health Ministry.
