Bird Flu Update in Iraq Kurdistan

"With little information coming out of Iraq Kurdistan concerning the bird flu, it is appreciated to see some information. Kamal Mirawdeli wrote an article about the bird flu and other issues beseeching the Kurdish people. As I do not get political, I will not comment on most of the article; I believed it covered too many issues at once....

...Back to the bird flu before my temper rises, this is a very serious issue in Iraq Kurdistan and in fact the entire region without consideration to borders and nation states. I am surprised the major media networks have not covered it with deep concern (maybe they are barred from footage or information). I consider Sulaimaniya my home and it is very difficult to be away from my home especially during this crisis. Kamal reports the following:

"Today the story is different. Bird flu epidemic is gripping Kurdistan. Two other people have already died; four are under intensive care. Until yesterday the minister of health was talking about 18 people being isolated for the suspicion of the disease. Today, according to DPA news “a fresh bird flu scare has erupted in the Kurdish region in northern Iraq with reports of 162 suspected cases almost two weeks after a 15-year-old girl died of the deadly strain.”..."
