(Canadian Press) - Two medical workers practise on a dummy during an emergency drill at a Hong Kong hospital Tuesday as the government gears up for a possible flu pandemic. Hong Kong recorded the first known instances of human infection of H5N1 in 1997 when the virus infected 18 people and killed six of them in the territory. But the territory has so far been spared in the wave of infections that began in Asia in late 2003. (AP Photo/Vincent Yu)
