Deadly Virus Spreads Rapidly in China

ANCHOR:
And in China, along with the Olympics, the big story right now is the rapid spread of the deadly foot, hand and mouth virus Enterovirus 71.

The virus first appeared in Fuyang city in Anhui Province. But the disease has recently spread to nearby Hubei, Jiangxi, and Guangdong Provinces.

Chinese authorities had known about the virus since early March, but chose not to release the information for nearly two months.

Just over a week ago, the news was finally released to the public, and since then at least 22 children have died and over three thousand have been infected. But Chinese State Television is still not releasing the total number deaths caused by the virus.

CCP leaders have ordered authorities to deal with the problem before the Olympics, which are less than 100 days away. But it will be difficult because there are currently no vaccines or antiviral agents that can either treat or prevent the virus.

Enteroviruses are spread mostly through contact with infected blisters or faeces and can cause high fever, paralysis and swelling of the brain or its lining.

In China has a lot of diseases and the govt don´t warn the ppl. Poor people. I wish them all the best and I wish that they wake up and send this barbarian govt to hell

I doubt it is from dog eating. It is probably the large population that is causing the spread of so many illnesses.  Viruses are easily passed on.

[TobyLittleDude]

Is it just me or does China have the most viruses?? Then their stupid gov't tries to hide it. Whatever, as a Chinese Canadian, I could care less what goes on in China.... It's Karma for all the dogs they kill and eat over there!

All because of dog eating!? Now Mother Earth cleans this confucian menace called offspring.

I only care for the taoist gnostic children who's place will be at Fravashi since they honor Great Daughter Spirit and don't ever eat dogs.

whenever I see some half-Australoid "Tibetan" I want to vomit. You disgusting niggers have no claim to Tibet in any shape or form. The Dalai Lama is an example of what a true Tibetan looks like- East Asian.

Not a filthy half-nigger like yourself which can hardly be considered human, this is why the Tibetans in Exile are such lowlife, repulsive scum.
