Things are just Ducky in Indonesia

They finally did mention a human case of bird flu and happened to let slip of another from 4 months ago. There are probably many more,  but they don't want to tell you yet. Most of todays stories are about the 2 new cases

I figure the bird deaths are way over 500,000 by now, as I can hardly keep up with all the reports. I guess all reports of birds and ducks are on here so far with more every day. Start with 350.000 and add them up. Some gov'ts  should be mentioning the large and spreading outbreak in official notifications..any time now.

Soon they will have to tell you they are running out of Tamiflu , with so many outbreaks spread out over the island of Java, they can barely keep up with them. The villagers are scared, but continue to handle the birds without masks or gloves and  don't have gov't supervision. This is not new. They continue to cut and sell the birds at market before they die, and  are throwing the birds in ditches and creeks and rivers. They know those chickens can't fly nor the ducks swim.
This outbreak will not be limited to Java.

 Every day there is a new area infected..oh..here is one now

The strain is the same as in a few other countries and now has arrived in Indonesia. There is no huamn or bird vaccine for it, so expect the totals to continue to rise.

Being a tourist  area, they are trying to keep it all on the downlow, but it will be alarming to others once the MSM starts to mention it. They hate to tell you actual news.

The new human cases have prompted the Indo gov't to go on alert in that area. They don't want to declare a KLB because ONE OF THE PATIENTS DIED 4 MONTHS AGO..and they just told you about him. Here are some reports..
  SLEMAN - Sleman area now declared bird flu alert. Sleman District Health Office to explain the disease's incubation period of bird flu for three days after virus exposure.   http://jogja.tribunnews.com/2012/12/17/ini-gejala-penyakit-flu-burung/

Some stories even deny that the birds are dying from bird flu even though chickens are now dying out the ass..and no KLB is declared yet.
