Is bird flu quite serious in Indonesia now?
Will it affect North Sulawesi?
I am a little worried.

Blackfish:Not to be a pain, but unless you are travelling with your canary, why are you worried about the bird flu in Indonesia? Thus far the virus is not able to transmit itself from people to people, so all the concerns being raised are hypothetical. I doubt it you'll be living with chickens in Indonesia (okay, they'll be around), but you won't be handling them so the likelihood of catching it is low.
If/once the virus is able to transmit itself from person to person, nobody is safe anywhere---you might do well to move to either the N or S pole. Don't let the gov't BS about buying vaccines (untested) or preparing of the medical community fool you, the medical system in the US and around the World could easily become completely overwhelmed if/when the flu becomes able to transmit itself from person to person.
There is no doubt that the bird flu is in Indonesia, likely widespread amongst omnipresent poultry and I seriously doubt if the gov't is doing much about it.
The Jakarta Post is probably the best source for information (English Indo News).

My opinions are a bit fatalistic, sorry...
