Thailand:

Since December 2004, 41 people have been infected with H5N1 in Vietnam and 16 have died, but none have been infected in Thailand. Why this difference? Thailand has pursued a massive surveillance of poultry in its 'X-ray programme'; trained personnel visited all villages in late 2004 to collect virological and serological samples. The culling of ducks in Thailand (with farmer compensation) has reduced the flocks of ducks that were positive for H5N1 from almost 40% infected in October 2004 to almost undetectable levels in March 2005. Thus, reducing H5N1 infection in poultry clearly reduces the threat to humans.

Das geht doch vollkommen am Thema vorbei:

1. Wie oben gesagt, lhaben wir es in diesen Ländern mit einem ganz anderen Szenario zu tun. In europa besteht das Problem mit humanfällen gar nicht in vergleichbarer Weise. Warum wohl?

2. Es steht ja schon in deinem Text: The culling of ducks in Thailand (with farmer compensation) has reduced the flocks of ducks that were positive for H5N1 from almost 40% infected in October 2004 to almost undetectable levels in March 2005.

Ducks, that were positive . Deutsche Behörden vernichten Herden schon, bevor H5 festgestellt wurde, stellen hinterher fest, dass gar kein H5 vorlag, und verkaufen dies dem stockdämlichen Publikum auch noch als Erfolg.

Ausserdem ist von reduktion zu [I]almost undetectable levels die Rede. Almost undetectable ist nicht virenfrei.

Ausserdem heisst es: reduced. Nicht: Eliminated
