China reports first confirmed case of swine flu
Mon, 11 May 2009 08:29:47 GMT
Beijing - A 30-year-old Chinese man who recently returned from the United States tested positive for the influenza A H1N1 virus, the Ministry of Health
said Monday. The patient, identified by his surname Bao, was the first confirmed case on mainland China of the new strain of flu that originated in North America and has sparked fears of a global pandemic.
The state-run Xinhua news agency said the patient was being treated at the Chengdu Infectious Disease Hospital, and that people having close contact with him were also isolated for medical observation.
More than 130 of the 150 passengers who were on the same flight to Chengdu in western China with the patient have been quarantined. The man travelled from St Paul, Minnesota via Tokyo to Beijing and then onwards to Chengdu. |

Can't comment on everything but this is a real significant one. Heavy on the confirmed. Lots of possibles- in fact we had a whole building of them with protest- but but this will be one to track and really keep an eye on. I am sure China is not happy about this. Will see if I can find some follow stuff to post on your thread. john ar / mc |

Well. Now they know what it's like to be on the receiving end of things.
The big question is, "What will they mix it with before sending it back?". |
