Two more Indonesians have bird flu - ministry
JAKARTA, Feb 6 (Reuters) - Two more people in hard hit Indonesia, a 15-year-old girl from an upscale Jakarta neighbourhood and a 30-year-old man in West Java, have caught bird flu, a Health Ministry official said on Tuesday.The girl, who lives in the capital's Menteng district where many high ranking officials and foreign diplomats reside, had caught a wild bird which died two days later, Joko Suyono of the ministry's bird flu centre said. The West Java man lived in an area where many poultry had died, he said. There will be a big surge in reported cases when the Jakarta floods recede. Suspect/possible cases were running at 5 to 10 a day prior to last Thursday. Is this where the big P starts? Buggered if I know. Posted by: phil_b 2007-02-06 |
