Yesterday, this reporter Zhuji authorities to verify, confirm that these are rumors. Currently Zhuji police have launched investigations.
　　
From the beginning of the night before, two on Zhuji new cases of human infection with avian influenza began to spread the news on the Internet. The first version, said: "January 7 in the afternoon, the provincial CDC confirmed, Zhuji City, the second confirmed H7N9 avian influenza infection in individual patients, Ms. Lu, female, 26 years old, who lives in the town dock in Zhuji City, on the. wangcun people, career-killing poultry farms dock currently Zhuji City has launched emergency plans, and timely follow-up report, "Another version is even more frightening:.". 7 January afternoon, the provincial CDC confirmed, Zhuji 6 confirmed cases of human infection with H7N9 avian influenza due to save her ...... where the surname Wang, was dead. currently Zhuji City has launched emergency plans, follow-up and timely reporting. "
　　
This two news spread like wildfire on the Internet, but there are users that Xiaoxibushi. However, many people still see these messages after some concerns, have asked the authenticity of the message.

In fact, careful scrutiny of these two arguments circulated on the Internet, it is not difficult to find obvious flaws. For example, the second source said six people infected, but then he lists the names of seven people many terms are very colloquial, not unlike regular reports such as "which is less than the surname Wang because she died." .
　　
Reporters also learned that the current Zhuji police have carried out investigations on this, and summoned the six officers after they learned that access to information is forwarded, not the initiator of these people have come to realize his mistake.
