Bekasi, (PRLM). - Section Head Kesehatan (Dinkes) the Bekasi City, Wirda Saleh, said, from 12 available subdistricts in the Bekasi City, as many as six subdistricts were stated as endemic bird flu, one of them of Kec. The Lumbu swamp. Five other subdistricts that were recorded as endemic bird flu namely the Subdistrict Bekasi Selatan, Kecamatan Jati Sampurna, Kecamatan Pondok Melati, Kecamatan Mustika Jaya, and the Bantargebang Subdistrict. "Might be considered to be the case" of the "death because of bird flu in the Bekasi City high." Therefore, the Bekasi City was chosen among eight other cities that co-operated with the Department of Health to melakuka the simulation of the prevention of bird flu, said Wirda, on Sunday (9/11). Was based on the number of cases, in 2005 was recorded by four people was stated suspect bird flu. The number increased in 2006, namely four sufferers from total five residents suspect bird flu died.

In the meantime, in 2007 zero and this year was found eight positive poultries avian influenza and two fatalities. [now, if there were no positive poultry last year, and 8 chickens died in 2008 - why did the Department of Health choose them to have the simulation, and determine them, to be at high risk? It is not adding up, in my opinion.]
