Sorry, I did not mean to make you frown. I'm not frowning, well I am a little, but it's because I have a headache from studying for an 8-hour-long medical exam I have tomorrow. Don't frown. It's just simply that the public, the international media and the WHO are behaving very differently from what they would if they really knew what was going on on the ground in Indonesia, very differently from what they would be behaving like if anyone really had a clue as to what the disease situation in China, or Thailand for that matter, was, if real H5N1 testing of poultry, pigs, and people actually occurred in India, and if there were any labs in Africa that ever were even able to find a positive result of anything. It would be a very different situation indeed. We wouldn't be mulling over discussions of recombination versus reassortment or waiting for the results from a couple of random geese in Washington State, no, we would be undertaking a far bigger, global, multi-disciplinary, medical and societal version of the Manhattan Project, that's all.

I take this [below] to mean that one of their other children, RS (11), died after their poultry died. Subsequently, the rest of the family got sick and were "run off" to the hospital:

One [the] family was affected suspect began with several tails of their chicken died suddenly last week. Not several old one of his [their] children experienced the high fever, coughs that finally had died.

CG - the last I heard, this 2 yr-old was stable and the family wanted to take him/her home, but s/he was still being treated in RS Adam Malik -- that was on Sept 12:

"We continued to monitor the condition for casualties to results of the sample of blood that was sent it was known. However, casualties at this time did not yet make use of respiratory aids (the ventilator)," said Adlin. Adlin added, the condition for casualties at this time was stable, but still was treated in isolation space intensively to guard matters that were not wanted. In fact, casualties's family ask for to come home.

[ Pardon me for "snipping" a bit of your post there, but that's actually the street address of the 2 yr-old (not his/her name) and we're trying to keep suspects' home addresses off the board here. Village is ok -- but not street address. Thanks! :) ]

[*snip*]
From Wikipedia:
Deli Serdang is a regency in the Indonesian province of North Sumatra. Deli Serdang is located south and east of Medan. The capital of the district is Lubukpakam, located approximately 30 km east of Medan.

Boundaries of the district:

To the north: the Langkat Regency and the Strait of Malacca
To the south: the Karo Regency and Simalungun Regency
To the east: the Asahan Regency and the Strait of Malacca
To the west: the Karo Regency and Langkat Regency
This map doesn't give the precise location of where this family is from, but just a general idea of the area/distances we're talking about. Lubukpakam is the capital of Deli Serdang, the regency where this family is from. Kabanjahe is the capital of the Karo regency. We've also seen some bf suspects from in/around Tebingtinggi. And, Medan, of course, is where the hospital, RS Adam Malik is located.
