 Breaking news out of China today. A factory worker recently hospitalized with the avian flu is now dead, according to reports from the Chinese government. Hei Wang, a 22-year-old woman from South China, was diagnosed earlier this week with a deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu. The Chinese government is reporting that Wang contracted the virus while visiting her family's farm in South China, where several chickens were infected with avian flu. The government claims that Wang's family had not reported the deaths of several chickens for fear their poultry would be killed. The farm has now been quarantined and its animals slaughtered. Meanwhile, the Chinese government has kept a quarantine in place at the electronics factory where Wang worked. Many workers, including two Americans employed by US cell phone manufacturer Vaxxon, are still not being allowed to leave the facility. Owned by Taiwan company Jeeling Industries, the factory is a supplier for a number of leading American companies, including the New Jersey-based Vaxxon. Jeeling is calling on the Chinese government to lift the quarantine, saying that it is costing more than $1 million a day in lost business, and the company may have to lay off workers if the restrictions are not lifted immediately.
