Re: CHINA: QINGHAI, PNEUMONIC PLAGUE (from ProMedMail.org, edited)
I on the otherhand don't trust the Chinese MOH info.
The second herdsman either contacted the same herd of animals which were transmitting pneumonic plague (a possibility, but just a possibility) or he was close, as in very close to one of the 11 members of this family who are now all currently ill.
We are entering into the Twilight Zone when we see spontaneous outbreak of a disease which has the sign of Pandemic Flu, which occurs in the correct region, rural Central West China.
As Niman is won't to say, "More information would be helpful."
Folks, they quarantined the town. This was diagnosed, obscure as it is, quickly, and the response is appropriate.
But I want to see more info.
Of course, this is among the first times China has decided not to deceive. Congrat's China!
