Hi, Sharon-san! Long time no see you!
(Since I am now fighting for recovering the lost USB-memory data for these three months, my checking network news is lesser and lesser...)
Might H5N6 becomes the mainstream of avian flu in China instead of H7N9?
Today, Hunan province announced another new outbreak of H5N6 among poultry.
I happened to know this by chance when I was checking Tencent news!

The system still has "Working..." on top of the site...

As for the H5N6 missing incident, I checked the Guangdong Provincial HFPC, but I could not find this Meizhou incident.
It was erased completely.
From this, we can say the news itself was not H5N6 avian flu. Their diagnosis was wrong.
Your thoughts?
