- Four farm caretakers died inside a biogas tank in Malvar, Batangas
- Hong Kong Bird FLu
The government is doing its best. I just came from a Contingency Planning Workshop for Bird Flu. In the workshop, all possible scenarios were planned including us having human to human transmission. If (wag naman sana) an infection in birds is detected, there were provisions for stamping out.
Stamping out is actually easier said than done due to the lack of provisions of funds for payment of farmer's stocks. Imagine the 3 km + 7 km radius that would be stamped out.
