News Reporters Blamed for Spread of Chicken Flu
The Weekly Post - Mar 15 - Mar 21, 2004
Chicken flu is spreading throughout Japan. In one incident in Kyoto, more than 100,000 chickens died in the epidemic.
The Japanese government should have taken all possible measures to prevent it before it spread, however, as usual, neither the Ministry of Agriculture and Fishery nor the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, had done it. .....reporters rushed to the farm. When they entered the farm for reporting and taking news photos, their shoes, clothes and skin must have been infected by the chicken flu virus.
The reporters did not clean droppings and ground soil they picked up at the chicken farm.
