We received the confirmation from WHO on Tuesday morning.

He had a history of contact with sick poultry. The results of his local tests came in today [Friday]. We have sent them to the World Health Organization (WHO) accredited laboratory in Hong Kong for confirmation.

The results from Hong Kong arrived earlier today and confirmed that the two had died of bird flu.

There is lip service and there is reality. The fact is the teamwork is not balanced. The U.S. prefers taking control of key operations (rather) than letting us handle the matter.

If Indonesia is to develop a bird flu vaccine for humans it is best to produce it from the H5N1 virus found in infected people here. That's because the sub type of the virus may be different here.

I have just received confirmation from Hong Kong.
