    Bird flu patients to be prosecuted
    Reported by Amal Abbas

    Citizens who contract Bird Flu will be prosecuted for the charge of "raising birds," warned the Suez Governor, who has referred all patients of bird flu in the city's fever hospital to the prosecutor's office, accusing them of "harming themselves and others."
    "If someone tries to commit suicide and is taken to hospital," said Governor Mohamed Seif Eddin Galal said during a meeting by Higher Committee to Combat Bird Flu in Suez, "then legal measures are taken for his attempt to kill himself. Well, the same applies to those infected with Bird Flu. They harm themselves and others. The law must be applied. They'll be either imprisoned or fined."

      If you think you will be prosecuted you will not take your sick children to the hospital. This is not a wise move.
      Please do not ask me for medical advice, I am not a medical doctor.

        What a terrible policy! This does nothing to promote public health.

          Wow. I can't think of anything dumber. Are we sure that's not a mistranslation of some kind? Maybe they are talking about intentionally infecting others with bf? Otherwise, that is beyond stupid.

            They are trying to keep people from raising poultry in their homes. This is what they will prosecute them for if they become sick with H5N1.

              Fla., I don't think anyone thinks differently. The consequences of prosecuting people who get sick and have birds is what appears to us as a mistake. Given the enlightened response the Egyptians have made up to this point regarding swift action against the flu, I doubt the law will either be followed or stay on the books. If they do they will be inadvertently be forcing parents to either not take their children and wives in to be treated or risk prosecution.
