In each deck of 54 cards the individual cards have cartoons relaying information about what bird flu is, how to prevent getting it, what to do if you have symptoms, how it is transmitted and the like. Disease prevention and control centers across china have their addresses and phone numbers printed on the cards showing up in China's Shanxi Province. The cards were developed by a hospital in Yuncheng City which is in Shanxi Province.
