If there is no local Health Center to monitor people in case of a bird flu outbreak, Health Service can install a temporary Health Center, called "Bird Flu Post".
In the comment Ida refers to the "Karo cluster".

IMHO the main difference in the current "bird flu situation" in North Sumatra and Garut- Java is the difference in press coverage.

Both seem to be standard situations, happening almost everyday in this season: bird flu outbreak in birds, people are monitored, some with fever receive Tamiflu.
