The important thing is how the authorities handle the outbreak, how swiftly it is addressed and how quickly birds are culled. China in that practice has plenty of experience, so we are confident from the animal point of view the outbreaks are tackled as quickly as they can be.

It is very possible that people will catch the bird flu virus.Roy Wadia
It's not a surprise. It shows that China like other countries that have bird flu in poultry can have human cases.
Roy Wadia
In large parts of China, especially in the countryside, over the last 20 or 30 years, the health system has been crumbling. You've got problems in terms of being able to provide basic health care to people. Surveillance is key to containing any outbreak, and to preventing any pandemicnot only in the animal sector, of course, but then you have to be able to also survey the human population.
Roy Wadia
This is a psychologically telling moment for a country that has never had bird flu cases in the past in humans.
Roy Wadia
To put it mildly, it's a serious problem everywhere, not just in China. We haven't confirmed (the two deaths) in the sense that this is information given to us by China. It's not that we went out there and found out ourselves.
Roy Wadia
This is a way to drive home to all the people in China how dangerous bird flu is. We are certainly very encouraged that they are raising the alarm.
