Bird flu update

China, Japan and Viet nam have outbreaks, but none so far here in the Philippines...

With the Dengue fever, Red Tide, and an outbreak of Typhoid, the real worry is: If countries can't control easily eliminated disease vectors (i.e. cover open sewers, spray mosquitoes, supply clean water), what makes people think that rural China, Indonesia or the Philippines can find and eliminate Bird flu?
