Bird flu takes roost

Bird flu takes roost

The Indonesian Ministry of Health has not done very well in
preventing avian virus flu from spreading and killing
Indonesians. It is obvious that much tougher measures should be
taken by the Ministry of Health in Jakarta.

Why don't they learn from the tough measures taken by New
Zealand to combat the avian flu virus before it kills more
people. The media should also play a role in urging ministers to
care more about the nation's health.

New Zealand has adopted a very good approach to dealing with
the threat. Our government should contact the Ministry of Health
in New Zealand to as to learn what needs to be done. The Ministry
of Health in Jakarta has to stop being arrogant and should start
working harder to prevent the virus from spreading.
