Description
CHAN: A Beijing woman's died from the bird flu virus, yet despite this Communist China's denying there being any indication of an outbreak. The Ministry of Agriculture says experts found no trace of the deadly H5N1 virus after searching Tianjin city, where a 19-year-old woman reportedly bought and gutted ducks, before passing away. A spokesman was swift to say the case would be closed within seven days if no further evidence is found. This comes almost a year since China declared the bird flu had been eradicated. Experts believe this latest incident reveals holes in surveillance of the virus. Part of the problem lies in that hundreds of millions of farmers raise poultry in their backyard, complicating the process.
