For the Tangerang urban area, the Head of the Pilot Project Pengendalian of Bird Flu is estimating a local Attack Rate of 20% for an H5N1 pandemic along with a 30% CFR.

Because Indonesia has the largest number of human H5N1 infections in the world, we must assume that the estimate of a 30% CFR is based on something other than a wild guess.

WHO and government officials should consider this CFR estimate very carefully. Pandemic planning based on a 1918 pandemic CFR of 1-2% is not the "worst case scenario". We now have an estimate from Indonesia of 30%, a CFR that exceeds the CFR for the 1918 pandemic by 15-20 times. Indonesia should know what the current CFR is if they have been unofficially keeping track of all the recent reported and unreported human cases.

Would underdosing be widespread and lead to resistance?
http://www.tamiflu.co.nz/
Adults and adolescents 13 years and older OR children 12 years and older over 40 kg

Take ONE capsule twice a day for 5 days (in the morning and evening) preferably with food. It is important that you complete the entire treatment course even if you start to feel better half way through.

Jum'at, 06 Maret 2009 | 15:19 WIB

TEMPO Interaktif, Bekasi: Penanganan pasien flu burung di Bekasi, Jawa Barat, mengalami masalah karena obat Tamiflu dari Departemen Kesehatan belum juga ada. Obat yang kini dikonsumsi pasien terduga flu burung hanya berasal dari bantuan PT Sampoerna sebanyak 1.500 kapsul.

Kepala Bidang Pengendalian Masalah Kesehatan Dinas Kesehatan Kota Bekasi drg Laniwati Setiadi mengatakan obat Tamiflu dari Departemen Kesehatan telah kedaluwarsa atau habis masa berlakunya per 29 Februari lalu. "Kami bahkan sudah membuat surat pemusnahan obat yang masa berlakunya telah habis itu," kata Laniwati, kepada Tempo, Jumat (6/3).

Tamifu kedaluwarsa itu merupakan pasokan 2005 lalu yang disebar ke 30 pusat kesehatan masyarakat dan Rumah Sakit di Kota Bekasi. Dinas Kesehatan, kata Laniwati, telah mengirim surat penarikan obat Tamiflu kepada seluruh Puskesmas dan Rumah Sakit, segera dikumpulkan.

Kepala Seksi Wabah dan Bencana Dinas Kesehatan Kota Bekasi Herlin Susilawati mengatakan pasokan obat untuk pasien terduga flu burung praktis mengandalkan bantuan Tamiflu dari PT Sampoerna, yang masa berlaku konsumsinya empat tahun ke depan.

Karena minimnya pasokan, distribusi Tamiflu dibatasi. Dinas Kesehatan langsung mendistribusikan, tidak dibagikan lewat pusat kesehatan masyarakat dan rumah sakit. "Kami hanya memberi kepada pasien suspect dan keluarganya," katanya.
[above word for word with dictionary:
Because minimum supplies, distribution Tamiflu restricted/limited. Government Health direct/straight through to distribute, not dispensed by way of central place/center health the community and hospital/clinic. "We just/only to give to patient suspect and family/relatives.]

Padahal, Herlin melanjutkan, potensi penyebaran virus H5N1 masih tinggi di seluruh wilayah di Kota Bekasi. Banyaknya unggas asal luar kota yang masuk Bekasi, merupakan faktor utama tingginya angka transmisi dari unggas ke manusia.

Hanya dalam rentang waktu dua bulan, telah ada tiga pasien terduga flu burung meninggal dunia dengan gejala demam, sakit tenggorokan, dan sesak nafas. Mereka adalah R, warga Karawang yang meninggal Rabu malam lalu sekitar pukul 21.01 WIB; N, 4 tahun, warga Teluk Pucung, Kecamatan Bekasi Utara, meninggal 24 Februari lalu; dan J, 42 tahun, warga Perumahan Galaxi, Kelurahan Pekayon, Kecamatan Bekasi Selatan, meninggal awal Januari lalu.

As we see, even in hot spots places, people didn't take at least semi-protective measures (ordinary masks).

In such frangents the health/security personnel must put in force personal shield equipment as a preliminary condition to be in such place.

Seems that in many places people are more afraid to be ironized/laughed by unconscious individuals, than to wore gloves, and masks as a precaution ...

Indo: Prevent Bird Flu

Sabtu, 07 Maret 2009 pukul 00:30:00

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.

Suspect H5N1 Bekasi Fatality In Indonesia
Recombinomics Commentary 18:36
March 9, 2009


An eight-year-old kid who was suspected to be positive disease have a positive bird flu, finally exhale the last breath.

Andriansyah (8), fourth child of the couple and Mimin Ilyas, the village of Kandang, Sukakarya Village, Kecamatan Karang Bahagia, Kabupaten Bekasi died in this Friendship Hospital, East Jakarta, Sabtu (28/2/2009).

"My child has been sick since a week ago.

The above comments describe the recent fatal suspect H5N1 case (8M) in Bekasi (see updated map). One confirmed case was described in the latest WHO update on Indonesia. That case developed symptoms last year and died Januray 2. A second confirmed case was acknowledged by the MOH announcement last week and was subsequently acknowledged in local media.

However, most of the cases have died recently, and although at least one was said to have been lab confirmed, none have been officially classified as confirmed cases. WHO updates have lagged and have not confirmed the cases recently announced by the MOH. WHO updates on Indonesia and have only described two cases which developed symptoms last year.

Only one of the suspect cases has survived, but remains hospitalized. This clustering of cases in Bekasi this year has raised concerns that transmission to humans has become more efficient and exposure to the sub-strain commonly isolates from human cases has increased. Initially most poultry isolates did not mach human H5N1, which had a novel cleavage site. However, more closely related poultry isolates began to appear in 2007, which may be higher today. Phylogenetic analysis of the H5N1 isolated from patients in 2008 indicates those recent human cases have retained the novel cleavage site.

The continuing increase in fatal Bekasi cases, coupled with the lack of WHO updates on these cases, continue to increase concerns.

Depok Residents Are Tested for Bird Flu

March 10, 2009

http://news.okezone.com/index....

Depok: The H5N1 virus has increasingly spread in Depok where all the subdistricts are stated as endemic for the spread of the bird flu virus.

That was marked by the number of chickens that suddenly died in six Depok subdistricts. These chickens died suddenly resulting from being positively attacked by the avian influenza virus. This was in accordance with results of the rapid tests that were carried out against these chickens. The Section Head the Health of the Depok City Agriculture, Animal and Veterinary Agency, Arifin, said that at this time the deaths of poultry resulting from the bird flu virus has reached 300 tails. "Finally there were 23 chickens that died suddenly in the Sukamaju District, Sukmajaya, Depok," he said, on Tuesday (10/3/2009).



Arifin added that the residents in and around the environment where there were cases of chicken dying suddenly have had their blood samples take to be tested in the Laboratory in IPB Bogor.

"We took blood samples of the residents and the chickens, moreover we continued spraying disinfectant in the chicken coops. Basically for us the officials are always on the alert," he said.

In the meantime the Depok City Veterinary, Agriculture and Animal Service surgeon, Alfian said that many communities did not yet understand how to handle poultry that died suddenly as a result of bird flu.


"Moreover there were residents who threw these chicken carcasses into the river, in a way that precisely makes the virus H5N1 increasingly spread," he explained.


Furthermore, said Alfian, the characteristics of the chickens that died suddenly as a result of the bird flu virus was blue and the saliva had phlegm.


"The main thing that is necessary is that residents reported with a maximum of 1x24 the hour if they find cases of chickens suddenly dying to the Agriculture Service," he appealed.


Previously it was suspected that a bird flu case claimed one fatality in the Pancoranmas Subdistrict, Depok. The Depok City Agriculture officials also continued to carry out the socialization in cooperation with students from the Indonesian University to give counselling to the community in order to interrupt the spread of the bird flu virus.

There seems to be a lot of confusion surrounding the names, ages, and dates of onset and death for recent cases in Indonesia. Indonesian officials have failed to clarify the confusion surrounding information on these suspected and "locally confirmed" cases. Reviewing the translations in this thread suggest the possible presence of a family cluster in South Jakarta.

From post #259 on March 4th, we learn that 3 year old Isnaelia Rahmadiyanti from RT11/02 Petukangan South, Pesanggarahan, Southern Jakarta, died from a suspect bird flu infection on February 2.

"Positively his bird flu was just known on February 13 after being treated in RS Persahabatan," obviously him. It was further that he explained, after the Isnaelia death, totalling 170 poultries in the subdistrict already in-swepping. Today swepping the poultry was done in the New Hut Ii RT02/06, Pesanggrahan, Southern Jakarta. According to the resident around, Rasmatin (50), 3 were from his 100 chickens taken by the official. In the place, said he, at least had 200 chickens that were maintained by the resident.

"That was taken by three chickens, but that was cut off only one," he said. In the meantime, parents Isnaelia Rahmadiyanti apparently still the trauma on the death of his only child. He permitted his child to die on February 2.

The "death one hour after being treated in RS Persahabatan." Beforehand my child could be treated in RS Aminah, said casualties's father Tri Santono (27) when being met in his house.

We also learn from post #317 on March 7 that Simadiah Rahmayanti (3), also a resident RT 011/02 the Pesanggrahan District, the Pesanggrahan Subdistrict, Southern Jakarta, died on Monday March 2 and that the government took fast measures to immediately destroy poultry in the area.

The death of the patient suspect bird flu from Pesanggrahan, Southern Jakarta, made the Government of the City of Administrasi Southern Jakarta (the South Jakarta Municipal Government) immediately took fast measures. So that the similar case is not repeated, the South Jakarta Municipal Government direct men-sweeping the poultry that still was maintained by the resident around. Results, eight tails of the poultry succeeded in being destroyed. The South Jakarta Municipal Government gave time till two weeks in the future so that the resident destroys his kept poultry. The patient suspect bird flu that died in the maintenance in the hospital (RS) the Friendship was Simadiah Rahmayanti (3). The resident RT 011/02 the Pesanggrahan District, the Pesanggrahan Subdistrict, Southern Jakarta, this blew out the last breath last Monday (2/3).

Uptil now, to prevent spread him bird flu, the South Jakarta Municipal Government continued to intensify the certification activity and sweeping. “Kita not robbed, sweeping and certification of the poultry continue to still was carried out by us through the official kelurahan,” Mangara Pardede words, the Secretary of the City (Sekko) South Jakarta to the reporter when leading the activity sweeping the poultry in Street Merpati Raya, RT 01/06, Pesanggrahan, South Jakarta, on Wednesday (4/3).
-snip-
Therefore, he chose Pesanggrahan as the main priority to prevent the spreading of bird flu in Southern Jakarta. In the meantime, since 2009, in the Pesanggrahan Subdistrict has been destroyed totalling 178 tails of the food poultry that consisted of the chicken, the duck, the duck, et cetera. Whereas 144 other tails have gotten the maintenance certificate of the pet poultry. “Sesuai with No Regional Regulations 4 in 2007 about the Control of the Maintenance and the Circulation of the Poultry, actually the community already was not permitted still maintained the poultry, obviously him. Except, if being maintained to the best of 25 metre from the radius of the settlement of the resident and got permission as well as was supplemented with the certificate. In sweeping this poultry, the official only succeeded in pacifying eight tails of the poultry belonging to the resident who was still wandering in the settlement region. “Karena heavy rain, we just could eight ekor,” firm Chaidir. These poultries were at once destroyed by the official by means of being cut off. Chaidir also added, gave tolerance for two weeks so that the community could destroy his property poultries. “Jika was not destroyed also, be forced we will return to the place we will return to this place and would memusnahkannya,” he accused.

Because the two individuals have similar surnames, ages, and are from the same geographic location but died exactly one month apart, they may be a pair of siblings or neighborhood playmates that died from bird flu. Alternatively, there could be some serious news reporting discrepancies and only one young child from Petukangan South, Pesanggarahan, Southern Jakarta, actually died.

It is unfortunate that the Indonesian Government is not willing to clarify information on suspected and confirmed human bird flu infections in Indonesia. In contrast, the Egyptian Government quickly and decisively repudiated an internet rumor regarding the "confirmation" of bird flu in two individuals in Cairo, Egypt. see: http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/sho...6&postcount=62

All of this leads one to ask: Is the failure of the Indonesian Government to respond to and clarify news reports about human bird flu infections a function of deliberate obfuscation or is it a simple case of bureaucratic incompetence?
