Canada anger at 'flu body bags'
Large numbers of body bags were sent to a number of indigenous reserves in Manitoba. The government has said that it was part of a routine re-stocking. The indigenous peoples were alarmed and offended. The Minister of Health, herself an aboriginal, has ordered an enquiry. The indigenous communities had suffered a disproportionate rate of H1N1 influenza (swine flu) several months ago. The latest faux pas came after hand gel was delayed over concerns that alcoholics would abuse it.
