| Bird flu kills 121 in China? |
| 2005-05-26 |
| This is a babelfish translation of a chinese language report that contains highly specific data on what appears to be a bird flu (H5N1) outbreak in China that is spreading rapidly. The report claims the Chinese government is trying to cover it up. Make of it what you will but it has a certain ring of authenticity to it. The strange names are literal translations of place names. |

| #3 In addition, the areas rural population is ethnic Tibetan and apparently abuses by Chinese CP officials are widespread. International agencies would be extremely unwelcome and may help explain a coverup. I'm watching this closely. |

| #2 The report claims the Chinese government is trying to cover it up. That comes as no surprise. |
