Indonesia announces human bird flu death
An Indonesian boy has died from bird flu in the capital, bringing the country’s death toll from the virus to 88.
Since Indonesia has been sharply criticized for being slow to act in its fight to control bird flu, we hope the Government should take a serious effort on this matter.
Officials say the boy, who had tested positive for the H5N1 strain of the virus, died Saturday in a hospital in Tangerang.
More than 200 people worldwide have died from bird flu since the outbreak began in 2003, mostly in Asian nations.
