The Avian Flu blog reports that China is mobilizing health department resources in Qinghai Province, where there are unconfirmed reports of 121 human deaths that are possibly bird-flu related.:
…that story from ChinaDaily. Recombinomics has more on the topic. Also from Recombinomics, some pictures of dead birds in the Gangcha County in Qinghai Province. The bottom line:
The massive die off of birds as well as over 200 human cases including 121 deaths has sounded alarm bells. China has denied the human deaths but there has been no independent investigation of any of the infections. The recent reports and photos clearly raise important issues which will not be resolved without third party inspections. (emp added) Until then, the widespread speculation on the significance of the alarming reports will continue.
Have you ever had a feeling of deja vu?
