Bird flu has not been effectively contained. The threat of it mutating so people can transmit it is still there, and the threat is very large.

The degree of a country's modernization shouldn't be reflected just by GDP growth. Social development is just as important.

The government's approach is more active.

Some people there (in the countryside) are not alert for bird flu.

The threat of bird flu is now getting closer to the human species. The possibility for the virus to pass from infected animals, which haven't shown symptoms, to human beings has increased.

An urgent task at present is to carry out nationwide publicity as quickly as possible.

It's possible that live poultry may also carry bird flu virus.

Some people there are not alert for bird flu. They don't report serious pneumonia cases to relevant departments when they hear of them.
