I will not make a comment about medias in India or other countries. But medias in Indonesia do not exaggerate the epidemic because they only announce official data from ministry of health. In my country, when people see their avian suddenly die, they immediately report it to community leader that will forward this report to govt health agency. Then the health agency send rapid action team to handle this.
Rapid action team when sterilize chicken farm that suspected of hit by avian influenza.
Alhamdulillah, it decrease the cases of avian influenza (bird flu) in Indonesia.
