Sudden Flurry of Bird Flu Cases: Indonesia

Scientists are worried about a sudden flurry of human bird flu cases in Indonesia, warning that a failure to control the situation may raise the chances of a virus mutation and lead to a pandemic.

When I saw my GP and asked him about the bird flu virus and what travellers could carry with them to assist or cope with an infection, he told me Tamiflu was the only medication available.

My GP then went on to tell me that you will know when you have the bird flu because it&339;s the same symptoms as the common flu. So, when I sneeze constantly&@44; run a temperature, my bones start aching and I feel like shit, then I am to surmise I have the bird flu. Huh, I’ve had the flu in Indonesia many times before but not the birdie type. Go figure.

I just want to reiterate Indonesia averaged one human bird flu death every two and one half days in May, putting it on pace to surpass Vietnam as the world’s hardest hit bird flu country.

That sucks.
