Disease Update - Aug. 6(Pic)
(Aug. 07, 2005)
Sichuan - "Streptococcosis Suis"
The official news said there was one new death, two more infected.
Some signals indicate the situation is not good. 1) A few local more officials were fired yesterday, the reason is "obstructing investigation". It is an early indication that the disease is not in control and the government needs scape-goat for revealing more truths to public and international society.
2) Sichuan has started to restrict some TV programs (those based in Hong Kong and still get permitted in China), the government is concerned with stability.
Some messages we got from BBS in China:
Neijiang: Compensation for pigs - weights >100 KG is 300 Yuan, 50-100KG is 200 Yuan, 20-50 KG is 100 Yuan, <20 KG no compensation. Farmers are so poor, some even digged out the dead pigs for food.
It is a problem of social system. ...What a government?! They are dogs that only know how to eat.
I heard there are hundreds dead, 38? no way.
The truth is covered up. I called my family, in my village, a few people were infected when processing one pig, they dead in less than one hour.
How many really dead? I heard a few hundreds, why not allowing WHO to visit? Now it is stopping people moving around, is it under control?
Shenyang Anthrax: 12 infected one dead
Offically admitted there are 12 infected and one dead. People said at least two dead.
The disease was first reported to Health Deartment on July 29th, it made news release to the public on Aug. 6 (BJ time)>
The official news said "it is under control".
