What "worsening situation"? Do they mean that they can't keep up with surveillance sampling with only one lab? Is that what "worsening situation" refers to (i.e. that they have a backlog of samples or something?)?

Thailand, Laos discuss bird flu
KHON KAEN, Sept 13 (TNA) ? Laotian officials said here on Thursday that the only laboratory for bird flu in the capital of Vientiane was insufficient to cope with the worsening situation and that more laboratories were needed.
In a conference between Thai and Laos medical officials to discuss the bird flu situation in the region, both parties discussed on cooperation to establish a bird flu surveillance network.
The Laos eight-member delegation was headed by Dr. Kampae Pongsawan, chief of Laos Rapid Response H5N1 Bird Flu Unit.
Kampae said Laos had been on vigilant for bird flu spread after two persons were dead from infecting H5N1 virus which could transmit from human to human.
?The Laos government, supported by World Health Organization, World Fund and Japanese government, has encouraged health education for Laos people to raise the awareness and understanding of bird flu,? said Kampae. ?Laos also receives technical assistance from Thailand as there is not much language barrier between the two countries.?
