#1 The government's early reluctance to release information about the outbreak fueled concern about a possible cover-up and rumors on Web sites that as many as 120 people had died of the flu. Chinese authorities deny that any people have been infected.

This is going to be the death of us all. If those damned Commies insist on covering up shit, threaten them with some sort of quarantine, or some other punitive action. They need to be made to understand that a global epidemic is a Bad Thing, and is best nipped off in the bud before it gets much, MUCH worse.

#2 Hall urged the Chinese government to carry out more testing for the deadly H5N1 flu virus, saying only 12 dead birds and two people have been tested, with the people coming up negative

Nice effort - slackers and liars

#3 Latest rumours are hundreds dead. BTW, both Japan and Korea have found H5N1 in imported duck meat, while China claimed there were no outbreaks. It appears the tests used are unreliable (or even unable to detect recent variants) and this allows the Chicoms to claim no human/animal infection. If there is human infection in china we will know very shortly. Flu is just too infectious to control through isolation (unlike SARS).
