Flu Burung Terbanyak Di Dunia Terjadi Di Indonesia

Indonesia negara dengan kasus flu burung terbanyak di dunia

Kematian pasien flu burung di Bengkulu pekan lalu menjadikan Indonesia sebagai negara dengan jumlah korban H5N1 tertinggi di dunia, menurut Organisasi Kesehatan Dunia, WHO.

Menurut WHO, dari 349 kematian akibat flu burung di seluruh dunia sejak 2003, 155 diantaranya terjadi di Indonesia.

Pejabat Kementrian Kesehatan Rita Kusriastuti Rabu (07/03) mengatakan bahwa pasien wanita berusia 24 tahun di Bengkulu tersebut merupakan korban kelima flu burung di Indonesia tahun ini.

Dua korban meninggal dunia sebelumnya adalah seorang bocah berusia 12 tahun di Badung, Bali dan seorang perempuan berusia 19 tahun di Banten.

Sejak 2003, ada 186 kasus penularan flu burung terhadap manusia di Indonesia dan hampir 80 persen berakhir dengan kematian.

Pemerintah sampai saat ini belum mencabut status Kondisi Luar Biasa atau KLB untuk flu burung.
Virus ini menyebar dari unggas ke manusia melalui kontak langsung, tetapi pada ahli mengkhawatirkan kemungkinan adanya mutasi virus sehingga dapat menular dari manusia ke manusia.

Berdasarkan laporan WHO yang dirilis di situs resmi organisasi tersebut hari ini, selain Indonesia kasus penularan flu burung ke manusia juga terjadi di Bangladesh.

Kementrian Kesehatan dan Kesejahteraan Keluarga Bangladesh mengatakan ketiga pasien yang semuanya lelaki adalah pedagang di sebuah pasar burung di Dhaka City.
Semua korban selamat setelah mendapat perawatan di rumah sakit.

Sementara itu, Thailand melaporkan adanya 25 kasus flu burung antara 2003-2006 dan 17 orang diantaranya meninggal dunia.

Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 in Vinci, Italy.  He was the illegitimate son of Ser Piero, a Florentine notary and landlord, but lived o n the estate and was treated as a legitimate son.

In 1483, Leonardo da Vinci drew the first model of a helicopter. It did not look very much like our modern day “copter,” but the idea of what it could do was about the same.

Leonardo was an artist and sculptor. He was very interested in motion and movement and tried to show it in his art. In order to show movement, he found it helpful to study the way things moved. One subject he liked to study was birds and how they flew. He spent many hours watching the birds and examining the structure of their wings. He noticed how they cupped air with their wings and how the feathers helped hold the air. Through these studies, Leonardo began to understand how birds were able to fly.

Like many other men, Leonardo began to dream of the day when people would be able to fly. He designed a machine that used all the things he had learned about flight, and thus became the first model of a helicopter.

Poor Leonardo had only one problem, however.  He had no way to give the necessary speed to his invention. You see, motors had not yet been invented and speed was an important part of the flying process. It would be another four hundred years before the engine was invented and another fifty years before it was put to the test in an airplane. Leonardo’s dream of a helicopter finally came to pass in 1936.

The Italian painter, sculptor, architect, engineer, and scientist, Leonardo died on May 2, 1519, and was buried in the cloister of San Fio rentino in Amboise.
