At this time Indonesia experienced the transition from the rainy season to dry. The change often resulted in the human body carrying out the adjustment in an extreme way. As a result body resistance descended and the illness was easy to alight. One of them flu. For you who were not yet affected by flu, guarded the body so that continue to in the first-rate condition. Be enough to eat, was enough sport, was enough to rest. When needing consumption of the supplement to food that could increase body resistance. Maintain the safe distance with the flu sufferer. Do not take a walk in the fresh air the remnants sneezed they. Till at this time flu did not yet have his medicine. His recuperation method was by restoring body immunity.
We knew three type extended families of the flu virus (the A type, B, and C). Respectively the type had however many of his family's members personally. The bird flu virus H5N1, for example, be classed as in the extended family of the virus of type flu of A. One family by that we knew also strain the virus H3N2 (Shangdong and Beijing), H1N1 (Texas and Singapore), and many others were other, apart from the type of B Panama and Yamagata. Nature of the family's their respective member the type of the flu virus also was not the same the level of his ferocity.

1. Ask for the flu vaccine. For that already feeble was recommended to get the injection of the flu vaccine while the flu season came. However, not all the virus kinds could be warded off with the flu vaccine. 2. The prospective virus illness could be only opposed by relying on body resistance. If resistance descended, the defence of the body will be broken, and flu or the illness by the other virus potential will infect. 3. Reinforce the body, in a resting manner and the menu was nutritious high for the rain season, the body was reinforced by his endurance. 4. Avoided went to the busy place, while the rain season. Because the flu virus, including the other virus kind, flew free in air. 5. Reduce cigarettes and alcohol. The two substance kinds had the potential to reduce body endurance. Smoked ?melukai? the respiratory tract mucous membrane, so as to make the respiratory tract to be more susceptible was entered by the virus. 6. Hard-working washed the hands with soap. The hands and our finger could become the source of the transfer of the virus that adhered from our place environment carried out the activity, like the office, the school and the toilet in places
7. Cleaned nostrils every time came home went on a trip. Yes, while going on a trip outside the house, at first while the contagious flu season, almost did not have not dirtiest air the flu virus, at first in the available environment the flu patient. 8.

Apart from the nasal passages must be guarded clean, the mouth must then be firm his defence. So was good him more often berkumur. 9. Did processed the breath.

Efforts processed the breath, that is by means of taking a breath (in fresh air was open) so in us well-off, and kept him was as old we could, would more membugarkan the lungs. 10.

AI-related poultry mass die off in Karanganyar district, Central Java province
AI-related poultry mass die off in Karanganyar district, Central Java province
A local source reported that an unspecified number of chickens died suddenly in Manggung sub-village (Cangakan village, Karanganyar sub-district, Karanganyar district, Central Java province). Rapid testing confirmed the presence of avian influenza. Local authorities are going to vaccinate poultry and monitor the area for any sign of illness among residents. The head of the local livestock agency also noted there is inadequate funding from the regional government to handle avian influenza cases, which required them to work with the private sector. The source did not mention culling procedures.

Fears of bird flu pandemic remain as donations dry upErwida Maulia, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]The number of countries and institutions donating money to combat bird flu has decreased over the past three years despite suggestions the disease still poses a real and immediate threat.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Head of the National Committee for Bird Flu Control and Pandemic Preparedness, Bayu Krisnamurthi, said in Jakarta on Wednesday that 35 countries and institutions had pledged to donate money to combat the disease during a bird flu conference in Beijing in January 2006, but that only 17 had actually made donations at the Bamako conference in December of the same year.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Only nine institutions made donations a year later in December 2007 during the New Delhi conference, and six donated in the Oct. 24-26 Sixth International Ministerial Conference on Avian and Pandemic Influenza in Cairo.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Bayu said the decline in the number of donations had forced Indonesia to cover a budget deficit.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] "Between 2006 and 2008, donors committed to donate up to US$2.7 billion to finance the containment of bird flu. However, the deficit for the period reached $1.2 billion," he said in a press conference on the results of the Cairo conference.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] He said that so far only 73 percent of the money donated over the three-year period had been disbursed.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Most countries cover such deficits using state money, Bayu said, adding that Indonesia had done the same.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] He said Indonesia received $120 million for its bird flu control project between 2006 and 2008, including money submitted by foreign or international institutions operating in the country.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] The amount covered about 50 percent of what was spent on the effort over the period, said Bayu, who is also deputy minister for agriculture and maritime at the Coordinating Ministry for the Economy.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] "We're not worried about the impacts of the declining number of donors. The government is committed to continually combating bird flu," he said.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] The Cairo conference reported declines in the number of confirmed human fatalities resulting from infection since 2007. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Since the first human was diagnosed with the disease in 2004, there have been 383 cases of human infection resulting in 241 fatalities world wide.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] In Indonesia, the figures stand at 137 and 112, respectively. The decline in infection cases in Indonesia is the result of a campaign to raise awareness on how to avoid infection, especially among children, who are most prone to catch it, Bayu said.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] As an example, he cited the results of a recent survey conducted by the bird flu committee on 1,700 students in Greater Jakarta which found the number of school children who washed their hands before eating had increased to 68 percent in 2008 from 37 percent last year. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] The number of children who reminded their parents to thoroughly cook poultry before serving it increased to 92 percent from 57 percent; and the number of children who did not come into physical contact with poultry rose to 66 percent from 23 percent.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] "Children play a strategic role in the control of the spread of bird flu. These changes show the community's active role in reducing the number of bird flu infections," Bayu said.[/FONT]
