Official number on website KOMNAS FBPI is 108, later 2 more were confirmed, however no overview published.
This is another confirmation.

Dutchy, can you help me understand exactly what this is saying? Especially the part I have underlined.
Before the dialogue agenda was held, the Representative of the Guardian of the Pekalongan City, Abu Almafakhir was accompanied by the Ahli Staff Menkominfo Bidang Media Massa, Henry Subiakto handed over the Puntodewo puppet to the Mastermind Ki Warsetno Slenk. according to Suprawoto, became an epidemic him bird flu that it was identified as the cause of the death of hundreds of people caused the panic for the community because of this illness kind to be able to spread and threaten the health of humankind.Comment

Re: Indonesia: Health Ministry Summary of Bird Flu Cases June 19, 2008 - Current
Reported was a (symbolic) handing over of a puppet. Puppet in Indonesian is "Wayang" . The Wayang theatre is a very old, has many variations.Originally posted by Commonground View Post
Including informing people on recent developments, giving commentary, etc.
So I imagine a Wayang show aimed at raising awareness on bird flu. I assume they will play this show at meetings of NGO's like mentioned in the article.
For some background on Wayang: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayang
Edit: You can look at Youtube for some Wayang video's .
Regarding the underlined sentence:
according to Suprawoto, became an epidemic him bird flu that it was identified as the cause of the death of hundreds of people caused the panic for the community
Guess this will be part of the message of the Wayang show; I feel the message is not "prepare" like in Western Countries, but "watch out" .
Watch out for dying chickens, put them in a pen, wash your hands after touching chickens, go to the Community Health Centre if you have a sudden fever and some chickens died in the neighbourhood , etc.
So the message in the underlined sentence seems to be: bird flu can become an epidemic if we don't "watch out".Comment

Re: Indonesia: Health Ministry Summary of Bird Flu Cases June 19, 2008 - Current
Thank you. You have a much better ability to interpret their language. I would have read it as "it already is an epidemic". And also I would have interpreted it as "hundreds of people have died".
Glad we have you to help us out!

Re: Indonesia: Health Ministry Summary of Bird Flu Cases June 19, 2008 - Current
OKEzone has the story too (see post # 78) slightly different text and therefore different translation. (see also post # 80)
Source is a spokesman from Dep of Information, so the number of 110 is official.
As for the interpretation of the bolded machinetranslation, my take is :
bird flu has become an epidemic, because more than 100 people died, this caused panic etc..
110 casualties Bird Flu died
Monday, July 14 2008
Pekalongan - totalling 110 from 135 affected people the bird flu virus (H5N1) in Indonesia died. Moreover millions of poultries also died, since the discovery of this deadly virus in 2003 till May 2008.
That was revealed by the Head of the Informasi Publik Body, Departemen of Communication and Information (Depkominfo), Suprawoto, in gaps followed the interactive dialogue agenda through the performance of the skin puppet, that was spread out in the Mataram Field by the Pekalongan Municipal Government, on Monday (14 - 7 - 2008).
According to Suprawoto, the case of the spreading of the bird flu virus was almost equitable all over the corner of the homeland. This illness became an epidemic by causing casualties to die as far as hundreds of people. Therefore, this caused the panic in the middle of the community, because of the worried resident to take part in being attacked. 'Therefore, the government afterwards determined this case as the extraordinary incident,' obviously him.
Five years since the virus was found, said he, the government carried out various efforts to overcome. Apart from the vaccination to deal with, also was carried out by the socialisation about the bird flu danger to the wider community with various methods, like with the performance of the skin puppet.
The community's participation to be avoided from the virus, was the key to the success of the handling. His article, the community could do many to prevent him. 'In this case, we necessary mensosialisasikan the bird flu danger, at the same time the method prevented his spread,' he explained.
Furthermore, he explained the handling of necessary bird flu the co-operation of all the sides. That is built by the partnership between the government and the organisation of the agency, the public figure, and the wider community as well as other.

From Dep of Health
Twelve Residents of Dusun IV Air Batu Asahan are AI Negative
09 Aug 2008
Result of Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test by National Institute of Health Research and Development (Balitbangkes Depkes) is negative of avian influenza (AI) virus to 12 residents of Afdeling 5 Damuli Dusun IV Air Batu, Asahan District, North Sumatera .
Now they are hospitalized in Kisaran District Hospital and Adam Malik Hospital, Medan . Those who are in Adam Malik Hospital, Medan (AI referral hospital) are FH (f, 7 year) and MSM (m, 8 year), getting better, while the remains are in Kisaran District Hospital.
This latest information is received by Center for Public Communication from MoH AI Post on August 9, 2008.
The cases were found during active surveillance on August 5�7, 2008 by North Sumatera Provincial Health Office and Asahan District Health Office.
Therefore, some efforts are attempted, such as free hospital treatment, oseltamivir provision, taking and delivering specimen to MoH Balitbangkes, suspect observation, contact surveillance and health information.
By now, MoH team is still implementing active surveillance to detect new cases as well as Communication, Information and Education on Avian Influenza.
Rapid Test by Asahan District Farming Office and Veterinar laboratory research of North Sumatera Provincial health Office to 15 birds (chicken and duck) suddenly dead on July 28, 2008 in Afdeling 5 Damuli Dusun IV Air Batu, Asahan District, figured out AI positive infection.
Mostly people in Afdeling 5 Damuli Dusun IV Air Batu are bird (chicken, duck and wild duck) farmers, usually for consumed and sold out. The coops are usually right next to the house, and sometimes the birds are not cooped.
Children usually wear no sandal when playing around while birds are freely on the surrounding. The sanitation in that village has not met the health requirements. It could be the risk factor, especially in AI infected areas.

Note that this quote, "137 cases 112 including dying" is from an FBPI government official.
The two most recent cases (both died) have not yet been officially reported by WHO. The last WHO update was June 19, 2008, and only shows 135 cases with 110 deaths. http://www.who.int/csr/disease/avian.../en/index.htmlComment

Just for the record: English version from website Min Of Health of the report posted in machinetranslation in post # 86. The Indonesian version disappeared from the overview and was replaced with another report: post # 87 .
AI Control during Semester I in 2008
08 Sep 2008
By today, transmission of avian influenza (AI) is still from birds to human. Laboratory research of National Institute of Health Research & Development (Litbangkes) and Eijkman Institute to AI case contact in 5 infected provinces found that there is no human-to-human transmission. This is the progress of AI control during Semester I 2008.
MOH AI Posts in 12 provinces of infected human case reports that in 7 provinces there is no new case found in the last 10 months to 2 years. Those 7 provinces are Lampung, infection in 2005 (no new case for 2 years 9 months); South Sulawesi, infection in 2006 (no new case for 2 years); South Sumatera, infection in March 2007 (no new case for 15 months); East Java, infection in March 2007 (no new case for 15 months); Riau, infection in April 2007 (no new case for 14 months); North Sumatera, infection in May 2007 (no new case for 13 months); Bali, infection in August 2007 (no new case for 10 months).
On the other hand, another 5 provinces with new case found are: DKI Jakarta (last case 13 May 08), West Java (last case 14 May 08), Banten (last case 11 Nov 08), Central Java (last case 23 April 08) and West Sumatera (last case 29 March 08).
In Banten, the last case is AS (m, 38 year), Tangerang City resident, who works as cargo driver. His onset was on 4 July 2008. On 8 July, he got symptoms of fever, cough, difficulty in breath and progressive Pneumonia on left thorax. The risk factor was birds (chicken and duck) in neighboring area. Bird specimen has been taken and sent to animal laboratory in Wates (Ministry of Agriculture).the research is in progress.
He was hospitalized in Usada Insani Hospital , Tangerang. On 9 July, he was referred to Tangerang District Hospital and died on the next day, 10 July 2008. Research in laboratories of Litbangkes and Eijkman Institute, Jakarta , on 11 July 2008, found that AS was positive of AI infection.
As consolidation of influenza pandemic preparedness, government launched Simulation Exercise on Containment of an Epicenter of Pandemic Influenza in Jembrana District, Bali on 25 � 27 April 2008. This is the first comprehensive simulation in the world. It took place at health center, Control village area, Jembrana District Hospital , Tabanan referral hospital and Sanglah Hospital in Denpasar. The simulation also covered screening in Ngurah Rai International Airport , Despasar.
It involved and was also covered by national and international mass media and observers. In general, many observers appreciated the drill of simulation. Today, the protocol of containment of an epicenter of pandemic influenza is in progress of finishing, relating to the findings during simulation, while film of simulation is being edited.
Government keeps making efforts to control avian influenza. Laboratory research of AI suspects during January � June in 2006, 2007, 2008 covered 335, 507 and 225 cases (of total 1,067 cases). Specimen examination in semester I 2006, 2007, 2008 involved 714, 1025 and 483 specimens (of total 2,222 specimens).
