Indonesia is doing the right thing by planning for the worst. However, the media should not focus exclusively on bird flu, but report on the 60+ other potentially deadly diseases birds can cause. Humans who are exposed to bird droppings are particularly susceptible. Bird deterrents like those from Bird-X should be installed in any area humans frequent. People should purchase them for their homes if there is a large bird population present. The media should use Bird flu as a segway to inform the public of all bird risks.
