The spreading of bird flu increasingly spread. Until this, was recorded 20 provinces that were the sporadic area of the spreading of bird flu. This means that, almost two divided the province that was attacked by this spreading into three. Unfortunately again, this affected province was the densely-populated province, like Java, Sumatra, and partly Sulawesi. Along with the spreading that increasingly spread, casualties died then continued to fall. In this last week, at least three bird flu patients died, one in Depok and two in Bekasi, both of them were below 10 years old. Several patients suspect also was treated in the hospital with the critical condition, there is mature and had children.

The bird flu virus or avian influenza apparently emerged sank. Could several months were seen cool and calm, but currently again raged claimed casualties. Apparently, like the annual cycle, this plague attacks us generally in the month January-March, that is when the rain season was to his peak. Saw casualties who continued to fall as well as the spreading that increasingly spread, the government must be more serious in overcoming this deadly flu. The instruction take the form of pelarangann the maintenance of the livestock poultry in the settlement, obliged certification of the poultry decorated still did not reverberate. Some time could be carried out by the raid, but now has decreased. The poultry has come back roamed about freely.

Moreover, the obligation merelokasi livestock breeding and the reduction in the poultry that was adjacent to the settlement also were not implemented with should. Including, the regulation of the poultry traffic decorated from one area to the other area that at this time in no way was controlled. The condition like that that caused the spreading of this deadly virus to become so fast. At this time, according to Komnas Pandemi Flu Burung and Menghadapi Influenza Preparedness, Bank Dunia gave Rp help 52 billion to overcome bird flu. Unfortunately, the fund that was allocated for the extermination of the poultry with Rp compensation 15 thousand per the tail the road in the place. The hindrance is, the price of the poultry, moreover that his maintenance was more expensive, made the owner reluctantly destroyed.

In overcoming this bird flu, apparently we must learn from China and Vietnam. The two countries were first attacked by bird flu in 2003. But, since several last years, the country could have been it was said safe towards the bird flu attack. At least, the spreading of this virus was relative could be controlled. The number of casualties who died then to not totalling in Indonesia. We must be more serious handled this problem. The procurement of the vaccine for the prevention was very necessary. But, that did not lose important was the implementation of the prevention rule of the spreading that was made. This current reconciliation hospital already 100 hospitals must be increased, especially in small cities, considering his spreading that increasingly spread.

The government also must dared to and firm took action against whoever carried out the violation. If quite dangerous, should not let the resident maintained the poultry around his house, should not let livestock breeding and the reduction was in the settlement. Don't also favouritism for the extermination of the poultry. This was the task of the government of preventing the fall of casualties even more resulting from bird flu.
