Indonesia Now First in Bird Flu Deaths
Indonesia has surpassed Vietnam as having the most bird flu deaths. The latest two children to die brings their total to 44.
Ballwin, MO (PRWEB) August 15, 2006
The United Nations World Health Organization WHO confirmed that a 17 year old girl from Jakarta province and a 6 year old boy from West Java province died of the bird flu H5N1 virus.
The two new bird flu deaths raise Indonesia's total to 44. Therefore, it has surpassed Vietnam, which held the record at 42 bird flu deaths.
Both Indonesian children died last week. The boy was in regular contact with sick and dying chickens. The girl kept pigeons in her home. The boy's family were initially told he had typhus. By the time the medical professionals figured out it could be bird flu, it was too late to save his life.
"Indonesia is allowing its children to die," says Richard Stooker, author of How to Protect Yourself and Your Family From Bird Flu. "I understand it's a poor country. But just a few years ago they were taking out full color, multi-page ads in business magazines bragging about their modern improvements. Vietnam and Cambodia are poorer than Indonesia, yet they're taking strong proactive steps to control high pathogenic avian influenza in their countries."
Vietnam has not reported any human cases of bird flu since late 2005, and almost no cases of high pathogenic avian influenza in 2006.
"Indonesia does not seem to realize they're playing with fire," says Richard Stooker, who created a start to finish proprietary 7 Perimeter Immune Defense System that explains how to defeat bird flu at every stage.
"They seem to believe that just because bird flu is not right now a big threat compared to tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanos and the many other infectious diseases that kill both chicken and people -- that it will stay that way."
"If they let the problem go on too long, bird flu could kill enough chickens to cause great hunger. And many more people especially children will die from bird flu and from nutritional deficiencies."
