Bird Flu Radio Story


I have filed a story on bird flu with a PRI radio program called The World, which is produced at WBUR in Boston. This is the story which took me to Medan, to Kaben Jahe, and to Sumbul for a look at the culling and bird flu containment operations there. I’ll let the story speak for itself – please let me know what you think!

Excellent.

The chicken/pork BBQ could not have been the source of infection if symptom onset occured within hours, much too fast.

Keep them coming, this gives a great insight into the fears & level of understanding in the population without which the refusal of treatment and fear of reporting infections seems perplexing.

frustrating file format! (.asf)

I've installed windows media components for quicktime, and I still can't seem to get it to play:(

If anyone has any good suggestions for playing these files on a mac, please let me know!

Wow, great story! And Congratulations on getting such a lengthy spot. I agree with jjackson - it puts the population's refusal of treatment and reporting into perspective. Who was that translating Grandma's words? Trish? Love and hugs, Marie
