50 Dead in this Jail , mainly respiratory problems , but nothing to worry about folks ( Ha ! )
Deaths linked to extreme overcrowding, says warden Multa Fidrus, The Jakarta Post, Tangerang Overcrowding and poor sanitation at Tangerang Penitentiary (LP Pemuda) are said to be the main causes of the deaths of 50 inmates over the past four months. "The prison was only designed for 800 people but it is now home to 3,816 inmates," warden Kosad Purwanto said Wednesday. He said that many of the deaths in the prison had been linked to overcrowding, poor sanitation and a lack of access to proper healthcare. Penitentiary data shows that 10 inmates died in January, 18 in February, a further 18 in March and four more this month. "Based on our records, most of the inmates died of respiratory problems. None of them died after an accident or violent encounter," he said, adding that 85 percent of inmates in the prison were drug users. He said the existing 418 cells measured 1.5 square meters each and were occupied by eight to 10 inmates. They are designed for one. Overcrowding is a widespread problem in the country's prison system. The Justice and Human Rights Ministry, which oversees prisons, should be held responsible for the deaths, Jakarta Indonesian Legal Aid and Human Rights Association (PBHI) head Dedi Ali Ahmad said. "The fact that there are hygiene problems in the (Tangerang youth) prison, which are related to overcrowding and poor sanitation, is against a UN resolution on the basic principles on the treatment of inmates," Dedi said as quoted by Antara. Inmate numbers have recently increased at the penitentiary because it also receives prisoners through the West Jakarta Prosecutor's Office, the West Jakarta Police and the West Jakarta District Court, warden Kosad explained. The number of inmates increased from 306 in January to 1219 in March. "The poor conditions have made inmates susceptible to disease. We have asked the Tangerang municipal health agency to provide more paramedics for inmates but there were no response," Kosad said. "There are only four doctors working here, which is certainly not enough." Kosad said it was possible some of the prisoners had died of AIDS-related illnesses because many of them were drug-dependent and shared needles. "They even share toothbrushes, shavers and many other things," he said. The last three inmates who died at the prison were identified as Karsim, 22, Muhamad Awage, 29, and Sudar, 25. The three died on Monday morning and their bodies were taken to Tangerang General Hospital's morgue. Jaelani, who works at the morgue, said no autopsies had been performed on the bodies as the penitentiary had reported the causes of their deaths. Prison doctor Ahmad Rivan said that he and three other doctors had difficulties in regularly examining inmates because of limited resources. "Sick inmates should be isolated but this never happens here," he said, adding that the health facility in the prison could only accommodate 20 people while there were 100 patients a day on average in the penitentiary. He said the team of paramedics assigned to the prison consisted of two doctors, two dentists and three nurses. |

Clear case of Bird flu victim being initially mistaken as Dengue
Jakarta post 7 mar 2007 W. Java regulates poultry to curb bird flu Yuli Tri Suwarni and Blontank Poer, The Jakarta Post, Bandung, Surakarta West Java Governor Danny Setiawan has signed into law a regulation aimed at curbing the spread of bird flu in the province, three months after neighboring Jakarta passed a more stringent regulation. Unlike Jakarta, the West Java regulation does not ban backyard farming or impose sanctions for violators. West Java has been hit the hardest by bird flu, with 27 deaths out of 29 reported cases of the H5N1 virus. Nationwide, 73 people have died out of 93 confirmed cases. Rahmat Setiadi, the head of the West Java Animal Husbandry Office, said in Bandung on Thursday the governor signed the regulation this week in response to an earlier presidential instruction to intensify the fight against bird flu. "West Java is still reporting bird flu case due to the lack of monitoring of poultry. We hope to solve this problem with this gubernatorial regulation," he said. The regulation states that all poultry must be kept at least 2.5 meters away from all houses, and should be placed in an area that receives direct sunlight. It also says the technical details governing the movement of poultry in the province would be agreed upon by West Java's 25 regency and municipality administrations. However, the regulation could prove to be toothless as it does not contain sanctions for violators. "It is mentioned in the regulation that a bird that tests positive (for the bird flu virus) should be destroyed. But when it comes to healthy pens, all we can do is offer advice to the public," Rahmat said. He acknowledged the regulation might not be sufficient to eliminate the virus from West Java, but expressed optimism it would help reduce the number of bird flu cases in poultry. Rahmat said that in the first three months of this year, more than 19,500 chickens had died in 24 regencies and mayoralties. Bird deaths were recorded in 189 villages and 132 districts, while more than 12,000 birds being destroyed. Meanwhile, a 29-year-old man suspected of having bird flu died at Dr. Moewardi Hospital in Surakarta, Central Java, on Thursday. Test results are expected Saturday to confirm whether he had the virus. In the meantime, his remains are being handled as if he died of bird flu. The man's coffin was not allowed to be opened by relatives before his funeral in Sapen village, Sukoharjo, also in Central Java. "We asked all those who bathed the body to wear masks. We also placed the remains in a coffin and sealed it so the family would not open it. These are just safety precautions," a doctor at the hospital, Suradi, told journalists. A cousin of the victim, Sumardiyanto, criticized the hospital's handling of his relative. He said his cousin arrived at the hospital on March 30 and was placed in a shared room, being moved to isolation only four days later. He claimed staff at the hospital panicked when they first suspected his cousin had the H5N1 virus. "All of the patients (in his shared room) were moved out and the room was sterilized. After that (my cousin) was taken to an isolation room." Dr. Suradi said the victim was initially thought to have dengue fever. "But it's not true that we did not give him proper attention. We used standard procedures in dealing with avian influenza suspects." The victim purchased about 200 kilograms of chicken meat at the Semanggi traditional market on March 15, which is when he is suspected of having contracted the virus. A day later dozens of his neighbors' chickens died. |

29 year old man dies of Bird flu after initially being mistaken for Dengue Fever.
( see prior post for details of error ) . Indonesia bird flu toll rises to 74 Jakarta (dpa) - A 29-year-old man has died of bird flu in Indonesia, bringing the country's total number of human deaths from the H5N1 strain of the virus to 74 - the world's highest, a health official said Saturday. The man, identified as Suramto, died Thursday after undergoing nearly a week of treatment in a hospital in Solo town in central Java, said I Nyoman Kandun, director-general for infectious diseases at the Indonesian Health Ministry. "Two local tests for him came back positive," the doctor told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa. Suramto's death brings the toll from the H5N1 virus in Indonesia to 74 deaths out of 94 human cases, and is the highest in the world for bird-flu deaths. Vietnam is second with 42 deaths, but has not had a human death from the virus in more than a year. The number of bird flu cases has increased rapidly in Indonesia. This year alone, the H5N1 avian influenza virus has claimed the lives of 17 people in the country. On Friday, the killer virus claimed the life of a teenager from central Jakarta. Alarmed by a sudden spike in bird-flu deaths early this year, the Indonesian government declared a ban on backyard poultry farms in residential areas of nine provinces. The ban, which took effect in mid-January for Jakarta, West Java and Banten provinces, was later extended across Java and beyond. The government also placed tight restrictions on the movement and sale of poultry and poultry products across the nine provinces and is preparing more hospitals to treat human cases of the virus. Most bird-flu victims around the world have had direct or indirect contact with sick birds, but scientists fear the virus could mutate into a form that is easily transmissible among humans, sparking a global pandemic that could kill millions. The United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization said the avian influenza virus may spread from Indonesia, Egypt and Nigeria to other countries in Asia and Africa because the three countries have not been able to contain the disease. Indonesia has agreed to resume sharing virus samples for research in exchange for a World Health Organization (WHO) pledge to restrict drug company access to them. Indonesia began withholding samples from WHO last month after an Australian company developed a vaccine for commercial sale using an Indonesian sample without Jakarta's knowledge. Amid a standoff with WHO over sharing its bird flu samples, Indonesia in February signed a memorandum of understanding with US vaccine producer Baxter International about possible future collaboration or supply agreements. |

Ross On Dengue ..............
[2] Indonesia Date: 3 Apr 2007 From: A-Lan Banks <A-Lan.Banks@thomson.com> Source: Jakarta Post - Jakarta, Indonesia [edited] <http://www.thejakartapost.com/yesterdaydetail.asp?fileid=20070403.C09> Fatmawati Hospital in South Jakarta is struggling to keep pace with a large dengue outbreak, with 30 people administering [receiving? - Mod.TY] treatment for the mosquito-borne disease on Monday [2 Apr 2007] alone. Tempointeraktif reported that, as of Monday [2 Apr 2007], the hospital was treating 152 patients, including 27 children. 36 late arrivals are sleeping on foldable beds in the hospital's corridors because the wards are full. Hospital spokeswoman Rahmawati said dozens of dengue patients had been admitted daily since last week. From January through to February 2007, the hospital treated 1259 people for the disease. In March 2007 alone, it saw 861 dengue patients. In January 2007, 8 patients died due to late treatment. -- ProMED-mail <promed@promedmail.org> [ProMED requests any information available about action taken for vector mosquito control or about the dengue virus type or types that are circulating during this outbreak. A map of Indonesia can be accessed at: <http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/middle_east_and_asia/indonesia_pol_2002.jpg>. The WHO describes dengue fever as a severe, flu-like illness that affects infants, young children, and adults but is seldom fatal. The clinical features of dengue fever vary according to the age of the patient. Infants and young children may have a non-specific febrile illness with rash (although some infants and very young children may develop shock syndrome, with sudden loss of circulating fluid volume, and die). Older children and adults may have either a mild febrile syndrome or the classical incapacitating disease, with abrupt onset and high fever, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, muscle and joint pains, and rash. Dengue hemorrhagic fever [DHF] is a potentially deadly complication that is characterized by high fever, hemorrhagic phenomena -- often with enlargement of the liver -- and in severe cases, circulatory failure. The illness commonly begins with a sudden rise in temperature accompanied by facial flush and other non-specific constitutional symptoms of dengue fever. The fever usually continues for 2 to 7 days and can be as high as 40-41 C (104-105.8 F), possibly with febrile convulsions and hemorrhagic phenomena. In moderate DHF cases, all signs and symptoms abate after the fever subsides. In severe cases, the patient's condition may suddenly deteriorate after a few days of fever; the temperature drops, followed by signs of circulatory failure, and the patient may rapidly go into a critical state of shock and die within 12-24 hours or quickly recover following appropriate volume replacement therapy. There is no specific treatment for dengue fever. However, careful clinical management by experienced physicians and nurses frequently saves the lives of DHF patients. With appropriate intensive supportive therapy, mortality may be reduced to less than one percent. Maintenance of the circulating fluid volume is the central feature of DHF case management.

"Reported" death rate from Dengue in post below as at 9 April 2007 .
This year to date ......... 41/10942 = approx 0.37 % in Capital Last Year .......... 51/24932 = approx 0.2 % Note - the above figures appear wildly out of line both with previous Indonesian dengue death rate figures and the reported , national death rate given below . National figure .......... 144/8019 = approx 1.795 % for January A death rate of 1.795% is approx 4.8 times difference from a 0.37% death rate. ( The mind boggles ! ) Sutiyoso sounds the alarm as dengue cases keep rising The Jakarta Post, Jakarta Jakarta Governor Sutiyoso declared Monday the city's dengue fever outbreak was already at the "extraordinary occurrence" stage, after a sharp rise in the number of victims over the last four months. Sutiyoso made the announcement to reporters in City Hall on Monday. The last four months has seen 10,942 cases of dengue fever in the capital, resulting in 41 deaths. By comparison, the whole year of 2006 saw 24,932 cases with 51 deaths. The governor, who accepted a recommendation letter from the health agency to declare an extraordinary occurrence Thursday, said he had sent letters to the Health Minister Siti Fadillah Supari over the weekend asking for additional drugs and insecticides for a mass fumigation throughout the city. "There is no other way to exterminate the mosquitoes except fumigation," he said, adding that he has called on all city residents to destroy mosquito nests in their houses once a week. "I also suggested a regulation to the city council to give fines or whatever the form of the punishment if we find any mosquito larvae in houses," he said, adding that he was also asking for help from the Indonesian Military to supply additional officers to enforce the plan. The city's assistant for the people's welfare, Rohana Manggala, said that the schedule for the mass fumigation would be decided later after a meeting tomorrow between the head of the health agency and the governor. She said the governor's letter to the Health Minister Siti Fadillah Supari on April 5 asked for an additional 104,788 liters of insecticides for the fumigation. On a national level, the Health Ministry previously predicted this year's dengue fever outbreak would be harder to manage than previous outbreaks, due to the increase in the number of cases. According to data from the ministry, as of the end of January, the national total of dengue cases stood at 8,019, with 144 deaths. However, the government has yet to declare the nation-wide spread of the virus an extraordinary occurrence, despite the fact that the number of victims has risen sharply in many regions.(05) http://www.thejakartapost.com/detailcity.asp?fileid=20070410.C02&irec=1 |

COMPARE THE PREVIOUS POST WITH A POST I PUT ON THIS FORUM A
FEW MONTHS AGO. BELOW IS THE OLD POST ====================================================== Other diseases being called Dengue Fever ??? The article posted below is over a month old , but interesting because it says there has been 120% increase in the percentage of people dying from Dengue since Jan/2006 . Not an increase in the actual number of Dengue cases but an increase in the percentage who die by 120% on the base month of Jan/2006 . The figures are a bit confusing because they relate to different areas but what is , or should be common to all areas is the percentage of people dying . Has Dengue become more fatal or is mis-diagnosis occuring ? Year/Month Dengue Deaths Deaths Percent Cases Percentage Increase 2006 Jan 18941 192 1.02 % 0 2006 Dec 5400 77 1.43 % 40% 2007 Jan 4862 75 1.55 % 52% Most startling is the figure given for West Java . 2007 Jan 1889 42 2.23 % 120% The article says that the increased death rate is due to people seeking medical help later. Given the early stage symptoms similarities with Bird flu that does not sound very plausible to me . Interestingly if we assume that the true death rate from Dengue is in fact the same as it was in Jan/2006 that would mean that in West Java approx people 22 died from some other disease but were mis-reporteded as Dengue in Jan/2007 .
75 Deaths From 4,862 Dengue Fever Cases In Indonesia In Jan Alone By Mohd Nasir Yusoff JAKARTA, Jan 30 (Bernama) -- A total of 4,862 dengue fever cases with 75 of them ending in the patients' death have been recorded in January alone in Indonesia, according to the Health Ministry report. The cases occurred in 14 of the country's 33 provinces with the special region of Jakarta registering the highest figure, Dr Erna Tresnaningsih, the head of the ministry's directorate of animal-borne disease control, said. Jakarta has the highest number of dengue fever patients, followed by West Java, Central Java and Lampung on Sumatera Island, she said. She said in December 2006, a total of 5,400 dengue fever cases were reported in 28 provinces leading to 77 deaths. In January 2006, the number of cases reached 18,941 in 33 provinces and leading to 192 deaths, she said. The health ministry had taken several measures to reduce the rate of fatalities from the disease that always spread ahead and after the rainy season through the aedes aegepti mosquito. "The key to its prevention is the environment and the people. If the environment is free of pools of water which can be used by the mosquito to breed and the people maintain environmental health, the disease is surely more controllable," she said as quoted by Antara news agency Tuesday. She admitted that efforts to control the disease had not yielded the desired results because public participation was still relatively low. Meanwhile in West Java, a total of 42 people have died in the outbreak of dengue fever in the province since early this month. The province recorded 1,889 confirmed cases of dengue fever between Jan 1 and 29, Head of the Provincial Health Office Dr Yudhi Prayudha said, adding that the number of deaths rose sharply from only 27 in the same period last year mostly because the patients sought medical treatment only at a very late stage. |

http://www.playfuls.com/news_006377_Dengue_Fever_Kills_41_Sickens_Over_11000_In_Jakarta.html
Here is another Version of the Same story 41/11000 = 0.37 % 51/24942 = 0.204 % 595/89866 = 0.6 % ( figures as at 5 april 2007 across the nation ) . Clearly these different death rates are not easy to reconcile with the previous posts below. A seasonal dengue fever outbreak in the Indonesian capital has killed at least 41 and sickened more than 11,000 others this year, sparked the city authorities to declare the outbreak an "extraordinary occurrence," local media reports said Tuesday. Governor Sutiyoso said that the mosquito-borne disease cases in the capital had risen drastically since January, with a total of 11,094 people were infected and claimed the lives of 41 residents, The Jakarta Post reported. By comparison, the whole year of 2006 saw 24,942 reported cases of dengue fever recorded with 51 deaths in Jakarta. "I declare the Jakarta's dengue fever outbreak extraordinary occurrence status late last week because the number of infected people has sharply increased," Media Indonesia daily quoted Sutiyoso as saying. He said he had sent letters to the Health Minister over the weekend asking for additional drugs and insecticides for a mass fumigation across the capital of more than 12 million residents. "There is no other way to exterminate the mosquitoes except fumigation," Sutiyoso said, calling all city residents to destroy mosquito nets in their houses once a week. "I also suggested a regulation to the city council to give fines or whatever the form of the punishment if we find any mosquito larvae in houses," the governor said. In addition, he also asking for help from the Indonesian military to supply additional officers to enforce the plan. As of April 5, a total of 89,866 cases of dengue fever were recorded across the world's fourth most populous nation and claimed the lives of 595 people this year, said an official at the country's Health Ministry. Health officials had previously warned this year's dengue fever outbreak would be harder to manage than previous year, and several measures had been taken to reduce the rate of fatalities from the seasonal disease that spreads ahead of and after the rainy season, carried by the aedes aegypti mosquito. Dengue infects up to 50 million people worldwide a year, and South-East Asia and the Western Pacific are the worst-hit regions. Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a lethal complication of the disease, and is a leading cause of hospitalization and death among children in several Asian countries, according to the World Health Organisation. |

What bothers me about all this , is that Indonesia ( as far as I know )
is still not updating WHO about confirmed cases of H5N1. As I understand it , the last WHO confirmed case was 29/Jan/2007 . Suggestions that they are fiddling the books on Dengue carries implications for their reporting of H5N1. |

8 April 2007 Dengue fever kills 15 people in Kediri district of E. JavaKediri (ANTARA News) - At least 15 people were reportedly killed by dengue fever in Kediri district, East Java, in the past few weeks. Dr Adi Laksono, head of the infectious disease eradication and healthy environment section of the Kediri district health office, here on Sunday said the last dead victim was identified as Noviana Sari (12), the daughter of Khoirul Huda, a resident of Branggahan village. "Information obtained from the local public hospital, the victim was rushed to that hospital on March 31. After getting medical treatment for three days, Noviana then passed away on April 2," he said. When she was admitted to the hospital, Noviana was in a critical condition. Many efforts had been made to help and cure her, but the fact turned to be different, he continued. From time to time, the number of dengue fever-stricken victims tended to rise. In fact in the past four months, there were about 817 dengue fever-related cases. Adi described that the number of people killed by dengue fever in the past few weeks stood at 15. In January dengue fever cases recorded in January 250, followed by 375 cases in February, 5 cases in March and in this month (April) 192 people were reported to be suffering from dengue fever. According to him, almost all sub-districts in Kediri district were stated as endemy of the disease which was spread by the beating of `Aedes Aigypyi` mosquitos. Until now, the local administration has yet to state the spread of dengue fever in Kediri as an extra-ordinary pandemy. (*) |

Jakarta Post 18 April 2007 Do you mean I have to register my bird?' The Jakarta administration recently endorsed a bylaw to control backyard poultry farming in response to outbreaks of the deadly bird flu in the city. The Jakarta Post asked people for their thoughts on how the administration can make the ordinance work. Melissa, 27, is a housewife. She lives in East Jakarta: I think it's a good idea to separate birds from residential areas. It won't only protect us from bird flu, but also from other diseases. But I doubt the administration can implement this over the long term, because usually they only come up with good ideas but fail in the implementation. While the middle and upper class would probably accept the ordinance, it would be harder to handle for the poor. It will take an extra effort to communicate this idea to those poor people who raise chickens in their homes. The government also has to come up with a fair compensation scheme as an incentive for them. Arik, 37, is an entrepreneur. He lives with his family in Bekasi: Do you mean I have to register and take my bird for a health check-up if I want to keep it at home? I think this would be hard because I doubt the government has prepared a scheme for implementing the ordinance. I understand that this (new bylaw) is for the good of all the people in the city, but the government really has to make it easy for everyone to follow it. The government has to think about the details, including the impact on the people, how to approach them, as well as providing the infrastructure for the certification process if it wants this new bylaw to be implemented properly. |

I keep posting the Dengue situation because of the potential to
confuse early stage or mild Bird Flu with Dengue . The Jakarta Post, Jakarta Wed 18 April 2007 A lack of transparency in the process of providing free treatment and medication for dengue fever patients may become a potential breeding ground for corruption. The Jakarta administration enacted the policy in February following a wide-spread outbreak of the disease. More than 11,000 cases of dengue fever have been recorded in the last four months, with 44 casualties occurring. "All dengue fever patients are treated for free," Zuraidah, a spokesperson for city-owned Tarakan Hospital in Central Jakarta said Tuesday. A nurse at the hospital, Darsini, said that as soon as a patient was diagnosed with dengue fever, no further medical expenses would be incurred. "This policy also covers patients that have been referred from other hospitals and community health clinics as long as we receive their blood test results," she said. However, many patients claim to have not known about the policy because the hospital management did not provide them with the relevant information. Several patients said they had paid for their blood tests at Tarakan Hospital. "The treatment and medication was free but I paid Rp 20,000 for the blood test," said Sugiatmi, a resident of Jelambar district, West Jakarta. His daughter was admitted to the hospital after being diagnosed with the illness at a neighborhood clinic. Darsini said the hospital would reimburse payments made by patients for blood tests if receipts could be produced. But like Sugiatmi, many patients and their families have been left in the dark over the reimbursement policy. Yayan, the parent of a dengue fever patient, also had to pay for blood tests. "My daughter had been diagnosed at a clinic in Pluit, North Jakarta. She was asked to take another blood test upon admission here for which I paid Rp 20,000," he said. Tarakan Hospital, which has treated 1170 dengue fever patients in total since January, currently has 95 inpatients suffering from the illness, including 22 children. Three people have died from the illness in the last week at Tarakan Hospital, according to Zuraidah. "We have admitted 21 patients in the last 24 hours," she said. The Jakarta administration last week declared that the city's dengue fever outbreak is at the "extraordinary occurrence" stage. Despite the rising number of victims, the administration has not allocated further funds to conduct consistent mass fumigations, a process required to effectively kill aedes aegypti mosquitoes, the carrier of the virus. To fight the outbreak, the city administration will use some of the money required from this year's additional budget, which will be released mid year. Governor Sutiyoso has also asked the Ministry of Health to provide insecticide for the fumigation process. (08/09) |

This is the scenario which keeps me up late and from sleeping some nights. All they really need is for one incidence of bird flu (like mentioned in the above posts by Ross and others here), to slip through the crack. It has the time to go H2H and it's all over for everyone all over the world, not just in Indonesia.

By Steve Nettleton SRAGEN, Indonesia, 27 April 2007 – In a small village in Central Java, Wiyatno, a farmer, surveys the dark and empty chamber that was once his chicken coop. Dried droppings and the odd feather are the only proof that the gloomy structure was once home to 1,000 chickens. Wiyatno had his entire flock slaughtered in 2005 after avian influenza spread rapidly through the coop. He fed some of the dead birds to his stock of catfish and burned and buried the rest. The culling was a financial blow. Wiyatno wants to try raising chickens again, but he is waiting for the price of feed to go down. While the community is aware of bird flu, many see it as more of an economic nuisance than a life-threatening concern. “Most of the community takes it for granted, because they think avian flu only strikes chickens and not people,” says Wiyatno. In reality, however, Indonesia has suffered a high human cost from avian influenza. More than 90 Indonesians have been infected with the H5N1 bird flu virus, and about three-quarters of them have died. Particularly at risk are rural villagers who keep small backyard flocks of chickens and ducks to provide food and supplement their income. Participatory learning projects Sitam is a shopkeeper who keeps a pen of about 20 chickens behind his home in Central Java. He regularly disinfects the area and has vaccinated his chickens against the virus. “We are afraid of avian flu,” says Sitam. “But we are doing whatever we can to protect ourselves.”
UNICEF Indonesia and its partners have been raising awareness and encouraging such prevention efforts through print and broadcast media campaigns. UNICEF has also trained journalists across the country on reporting about the disease. In addition, the organization is working with local communities on Participatory Learning and Action, or PLA, projects. Through these projects, community members create songs, dramas and posters to which local people can relate. Community leaders also seek to ensure that their neighbours are taking action to stop the spread of avian influenza. Community approach is working Srirahayu is a kindergarten teacher in the village of Kecik who tends a cage of chickens at home. She is an enthusiastic participant in local PLA activities, joining in songs and performances and speaking to her peers about keeping safe. She believes the community approach is working. “The PLA has an impact,” says Srirahayu. “One thing I noticed is that if we put into practice those messages we learned from the PLA, it will actually help the economy. The community has learned to identify the symptoms of bird flu and to report it immediately.” Yet many Indonesians still say they don’t know enough. In a recent independent audit of UNICEF’s campaign in Western Java, about half of those surveyed said they were not well informed about the virus. In addition, two-thirds of poultry farmers felt the risk of avian flu in their communities was small. Need for more knowledge Only a few hundred metres down the road from Srirahayu’s home, chickens and ducks roam freely. Their owners show little concern about their poultry getting infected. “I don’t really know anything about avian flu. I just know it’s contagious,” remarks Darsih, whose family tends to the birds. “I’m not worried about it. All my chickens look healthy.” It’s an appearance that may be deceiving and potentially deadly – and a suggestion that providing more technical knowledge about the disease and its spread may be necessary to keep avian influenza in check.

More human cases , handing-out free Tamiflu in East Java !
I worry that .......... 1. The use of Tamiflu Prophylactically like this will reduce its effectiveness before the main event even starts. 2. That the use of Tamiflu like this maybe causing many false negative PCR readings and disguising actual recoveries. 3. Unless there has been clear evidence of H2H transmission why would you handout Tamiflu like this . Although it is not clear whether the Tamiflu is being used or put in the cupboard for a rainy day ( or both ) . On the other hand if I was in that area , I would probably want Tamiflu available also, so I guess that makes me a hypocrite. Jum'at, 27/04/2007 21:40 WIB was also dirty. |
