Yang Ning: CPC rumor epidemic convincing the?

WASHINGTON, February 28, 2012] the past few days, the epidemic Hebei Baoding came to so many people worried, because the opacity of the news, many people are worried about the horrors caused by SARS in 2003 once again come to the people the head. Admittedly, people's worries were not groundless.

According to the information disclosed by the users as well as the Hong Kong media reporters, the epidemic can be sure of the following points: First, Baoding, People's Liberation Army 252 Hospital has treated hundreds of fever fever soldiers; Second, these soldiers have been isolated, in which the floor has been sealed , stationed at the door by armed police wearing masks; fever many soldiers still can not bring down a fever after the injection; experts of the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Logistics Ministry of Health and the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital (301 Hospital) has been stationed in the laboratory to determine cause.

Patients were isolated, and doctors have been sealed, the hospital floor was closed to patients in addition to fever, other symptoms of the outside world knew nothing, so if the rumors of SARS or other new virus can not light assertions, but the only certainty is that this menacing virus is not simple, it would not outlasted all of a sudden hundreds of able-bodied "iron" soldiers.

At present, the epidemic latest statement from the CPC experts that the virus is adenovirus type 55, that ushered in the soldiers of respiratory infections and fever. The experts also said that the common cause of the virus for human respiratory tract infection, the epidemic has now been effectively controlled.

Communist China experts say, the mainland media widely published, reproduced, adding that this information public, timely, accurate, crushing rumors, thereby eliminating the fear of the public. This really true?

If the epidemic was overseas media disclosure three days after the Chinese Communist experts say before the introduction of view, totally can not be fast, timely, but gives the impression that due to network and overseas media exposure, causing growing concern even concerns, it caused the outbreak of the message can no longer conceal, the CPC had sent a reliable expert rumor.

So, how high the credibility of the rumor by the Chinese Communist experts? Mainland users, said the rumor who did not elaborate, the authority to speak of, so the rumor should be fine, which provides informative materials, so that the people themselves to analysis, thereby eliminating the rumors. But Beijing has experts in addition to a seemingly common cause of epidemic disease name is given, apart from, said the outbreak effective control outside, but also gives detailed information which convincing?

I do not know these experts can honestly answer the following question: fever fever patients when and where? In addition to fever heat, what are the symptoms? Difficulty in breathing? Pulmonary shadow? Isolation for how long? Measures taken to heal? Why injections are still unable to bring down a fever? With what kind of drug fever? They conscious? If there is ill, was cured by what means? What kind of supportive therapy? Cured without sequelae? The so-called epidemic has been effectively controlled. "Refers to the extent to control? How to control? Are there any new infections? Hospital infection was? How the people in the prevention and control? ?? ......

If the experts can openly and truthfully respond to these problems, as the people of course we can analyze the conclusions of the experts is accurate, of course, allows us hanging in the heart floor. However, to date, the Chinese Communists and which experts dared to stand up to give a detailed explanation.

That being the case, the people on the evasive rumor doubt it very much come as no surprise, after all, the credibility of the Ministry of Health of the Chinese Communist Party has already lost, through events such as SARS and tainted milk. Many people probably have not forgotten, after the SARS outbreak in 2003, the Chinese Communists under the policy of "stability overrides everything", where the outbreak be blocked, and vehemently denied the existence of deadly infectious diseases.

Communist China's Minister of Health, Zhang Wenkang jokes at a press conference in early April 2003, only 12 cases in Beijing, three cases of death, to go out wearing not wearing masks are safe. Until the retirement of the 301 military hospital doctor Jiang Yanyong to the U.S. "Time" magazine broke the news, the SARS epidemic in the Mainland was exposed. International pressure, the PRC government had to admit to lying in the SARS issue. Beijing's epidemic digital land rises suddenly from 37 cases to 339 cases, and a significant increase in daily thereafter. For a time, vehicles on the streets of Beijing, few pedestrians on the night in Beijing seems to have a "ghost town" flavor.

This experience how to make people forget? How can this experience fully convinced that the people did not elaborate the rumor? Evasive of the argument, how can people feel doubt, people worried about?

In addition, it is even more incredible is that why the Chinese Communists to strictly control the network on this issue? Users have a "wind vegetable flowers", but in Baoding paste it made a 252-hospital variation of the virus posts title; According to the said hospital is only allowed in are not allowed out, his friend in the hospital work, have been days not to go home, only in the hospital room and board. What are they for?

According to Baoding, Hebei Province Public Security Bureau website news, the new urban branch of Baoding City Public Security Bureau on February 26 after investigation, has on February 19, 2012 posted on the Internet "Baoding 252 hospital confirmed one case of SARS information on an Internet site operators Liu arrested and sent to reeducation through labor for two years on charges of spreading SARS rumors, disturbs social order ". Only made a post, disrupt the social order? The same has been compared to false CPC, what is the crime? Is true, our witness, the police, without any appeal, the defense program, and directly deprive the parties two years of freedom is not exactly a typical offense?？ Authorities in the end be afraid to cover up what?

Chinese Military Hospital in Lockdown Over Suspected SARS Cases

By Ming Chen
Epoch Times Staff
Created: February 27, 2012
Last Updated: February 28, 2012

A Hong Kong newspaper has reported that several hundred soldiers with high fevers and other SARS-like symptoms are allegedly being kept in isolation wards at a military hospital in Boading City in northeastern China?s Hebei Province. Local authorities have denied a SARS outbreak, but Chinese netizens are worried that, just as with the 2003 outbreak of SARS, the authorities are covering up a potential epidemic.
Reporters from Hong Kong?s Apple Daily went to the PLA 252 Hospital in Baoding on Feb. 24, where 300 soldiers are allegedly being isolated, with two said to have died. Three nearby hospitals were said to also have patients who exhibit SARS-like symptoms.

The visit by Apple Daily reporters follows upon posts last week on Hong Kong and mainland China blogs claiming SARS had reappeared in Baoding and in Dalian City in northeastern China?s Liaoning Province.
The reporters noted that the PLA 252 Hospital?s west wing was open to the public, but the east wing was guarded by military police wearing masks. The east wing is the infectious disease inpatient care unit, where many patients were treated during the 2003 SARS outbreak.

Hebei Province in the influenza peak of the epidemic
Hebei Newshttp://www.hebnews.cn2012-02-29 08:28Source: Hebei News
Virus type-based influenza B virus, influenza virus activity in March is expected to gradually weakened

Hebei News Network, February 28 (Hebei Daily News reporter ZHANG Shu), winter and spring, climate change, influenza and other respiratory diseases gradually increased. Today, the reporter learned from the Provincial Center for Disease Control, Hebei Province, is in the influenza peak of the epidemic, the case is relatively large. At the same time this year, extend the peak season for influenza, influenza virus activity in March is expected to gradually weaken.

Hebei Province, the flu this year, extend the peak of the epidemic

The province's influenza surveillance network monitoring data show that: since January this year, Hebei Province, influenza virus-positive rate with the same period in 2011 was essentially flat, and the virus type influenza B virus-based, followed by the A 3 subtype virus. Hebei Province each year from December to next January is the peak of the epidemic. "Provincial Center for Disease virus disease control director Qi Shunxiang said climate special this year, the weather is still cold after the Spring Festival, combined with the whole winter, almost no snow. influenza virus activity strengthened, leading to the influenza peak of the epidemic to extend this year.

8% of upper respiratory tract infection caused by adenovirus

The adenovirus is the common pathogens that cause human infection, there are 55 known serotypes, often can cause respiratory, eye and gastrointestinal tract is mainly transmitted by respiratory droplets and close contact spread. Daily life, about 8 percent of the upper respiratory tract infection caused by adenovirus of Qishun Xiang said, such as a sudden tension, after exertion, cough, nasal congestion and pharyngitis, and accompanied by fever, chills, headache and muscle pain body is not feeling well, mostly adenovirus infection. Simple adenovirus infection and low mortality, contagious than the flu, most of the good prognosis. But the Qi Shunxiang still suggest that you, in the event of the flu-like symptoms should seek immediate medical.

Seven respiratory diseases prone

"At present, the common respiratory diseases in Hebei Province, mainly influenza, adenovirus infection, measles, chicken pox, rubella, meningococcal meningitis, mumps, etc.." Qi Shunxiang said, respiratory diseases through air droplets or close contact, prone to crowded places in schools and collective units and other groups.

This article says that there is a police/security effort to maintain social order in the Taipei district of Baoding. There is a mention of solving all of the explosive cases. I am beginning to seriously wonder if this disease outbreak might be a government detention center for dissidents. Adenovirus patients are not usually hospitalized. Typically, military bases have large buildings that could house patients in a mass disease event. So why bring them into a city hospital? And why are they still hospitalized 10 days (approximately) later for supposedly mild cases?

In any event, it appears that the government has had some problems controlling the population in Baoding.

I am actually thinking that Adenovirus 55 pathogen may represent a more serious public health threat in that area than previously assumed. We know that in 2006, it produced 250+ cases in a high school in China, including several hospitalizations and a fatality. And it has apparently killed two helathy soliders here, and produced hundreds of hospitalizations. It wouldn't surprise me if the reason for the continued hospitalizations is due to severity of disease; perhaps several of them are on respirators?

Re: SARS outbreak in Baoding, Hebei province, China a rumor: says (Taiwan) CDC- Identified as Adenovirus outbreak

"Most cases are mild and there has been no critical or fatal case. [It] is under control."

I saw this repeated in many press releases. The government claims the cases are mild and there are no fatalities - yet they hospitalized 250-300 military personnel, which would be mostly young & fit people, in an off-base city hospital - under guard.

At this point I would believe anything. SARS, severe adenovirus 55, dissident detention camp, other serious infectious disease.......anything.

We are left to wonder and speculate.

Re: SARS outbreak in Baoding, Hebei province, China a rumor: says (Taiwan) CDC- Identified as Adenovirus outbreak

Also worth keeping in mind that there is considerable evidence (http://www.semp.us/publications/biot...php?BiotID=460 for example) from testing in wild animals in southern China, that the 2003 SARS virus does not exist in the wild at all and is instead a mutation of an animal virus.

If that hypothesis is true, the only ways more SARS cases could ever occur is through a repeat mutation (and that mutation apparently has only occurred once in modern times) or a laboratory release.

Take for example the other day when the spokesman of China?s Ministry of Health denied a ?rumor of a SARS case in Baoding City in north China? that has been circulating in recent days. He said instead that it has been verified as a type 55 adenovirus-caused respiratory infection. Meanwhile, the Baoding City Public Security Bureau?s website announced that a person named Liu who first posted the rumor has already been sent to a labor camp for re-education.

A rumor about a SARS case being found in Baoding certainly caused the public authority some trouble. Whether or not the person who posted the news on a microblog deserves to be sent to a labor camp is quite another matter. Press reports quoted Liu's admission to having forwarded the information without confirming it first, in order to attract more attention to his web page. But he did not fabricate the information, he merely disseminated the unconfirmed rumor.

According to the provisions of China?s Emergency Response Law, ?Whoever fabricates and spreads false information about accidents or emergencies ... is to be punished accordingly.? From a legal point of view, the nature of the punishment is based on the perpetrator being subjectively ?aware of? spreading false information.

In the case of Liu, he was indeed told by other people that there was a SARS case found in a hospital of Baoding. Even if he posted the information without verifying it, his intention was to alert the public. He shouldn?t have been punished for that. And he certainly shouldn't be facing two years of hard labor!

This article says that for the month of February there were no flu deaths in Hebei province despite the fact that it was the most prevalent infectious disease. The population of Hebei province is estimated at 71.9 million. No flu deaths for an entire month during flu season defies reason. Just last week in Maryland there were 3 deaths due to seasonal flu. Extrapolated for the month would be 12 deaths. Maryland has a population of 5.8 million. The population of Hebei province is 12.4 times that of Maryland. 12.4 x 12 (extrapolated deaths for a month in Maryland) = 148 deaths possible for Hebei province based on Maryland example.

Re: SARS outbreak in Baoding, Hebei province, China a rumor: says (Taiwan) CDC- Identified as Adenovirus outbreak

This article openly refers to an "epidemic" of adenovirus 55 in Baoding.

Decoding the Baoding epidemic adenovirus


　　
Caused the Baoding epidemic adenovirus 55 attack, though not strong, but a growing number of adenovirus gene recombination and there are mysteries in the increase in the risk of future disease control

With verification of the Ministry of Health of the PLA General Logistics Department, confirmed the outbreak of respiratory tract infection caused by adenovirus type 55. February 27, the Ministry of Health spokesman Deng Haihua on forces epidemic again for clarification.

Statement released two days earlier, on the 25th, the Information Office of the Ministry of Health for the uproar on the network "of Baoding, a military hospital SARS mutant virus" message "of Baoding, Hebei Province People's Liberation Army second five admitted to hospital respiratory tract infection patients with fever, SARS has been ruled out, a stream of human infection with highly pathogenic avian influenza. "This is the same incident, the Ministry of Health within three days to come forward twice, released forces epidemic information.

Baoding public security department later announced as early as February 19, the Internet appeared "Baoding reproduction. SARS rumors. "Financial investigation by the reporter learned that, before February 19, the virus test has been completed, and is locked by adenovirus type 55 (Ad55). The emergence of the epidemic, the patients were sent to Baoding, Hebei Province People's Liberation Army Second 5 Second Hospital for isolation and treatment. Patients showed acute respiratory tract infection accompanied by fever and other symptoms. Medical personnel selected antibiotics therapy, so rule out the possibility of bacteria caused the outbreak. In recognition of pathogens, the medical staff with the patient's throat swab sample, rushed to the People's Liberation Army in Beijing Centers for Disease Control for testing.

"The CDC of the military regions generally do not have the conditions for identification of unknown virus, and more play a role in disease surveillance, and the country samples are sent to the laboratory tests in Beijing." Troops who participated in the testing experts say.

Ad14 is a highly pathogenic adenovirus. 2006-2007, four states were diagnosed 140 cases of Ad14 infection. Among them, 17% of patients admitted to the intensive care unit, the mortality rate of 5%.

But compared with the past Ad14-induced epidemic, Baoding epidemic the performance of their hospitalized patients with fever and sore throat, but mostly for patients with mild cases of death has not yet appeared. Therefore, experts believe that the closer to its pathogenicity and Ad11.

Subsequently, the researchers find a sequence similarity with the Ad11 Ad14 gene skeleton. During this sequence the hexon protein, which often determines the virus can lead to what types of antibodies, so full of antibodies in serum are based on the hexon protein production.

After more than five hours of the gene sequence analysis, researchers ultimately determine that the virus is very similar with the 2006 virus outbreak in Qishan the QS-DLL, belong to the same ancestors, ie Ad55.

See through "Trojan horse"

Completion of the nucleic acid detection, serological groups overtime out of the test results, samples of the virus was determined to be Ad11. "In fact, this is regarded as a nucleic acid test results confirmed. These forces experts explained that the two sets of test results are adenovirus, ruled out the experiment contaminated, the possibility of false detection, coupled with the Ad55 of serological reaction itself and Ad11, therefore, the samples of the virus was eventually identified as Ad55.

Ad55 is first discovered in China was identified in 2009 before being officially named. Generated by the two recombinant adenovirus, a the kidneys virus (Ad11), a respiratory pathogens (Ad14).

2006, an outbreak of fever epidemic in a secondary school in Qishan County, Shaanxi. Chinese Center for Disease Control virus disease prevention control and Shaanxi Provincial Disease Prevention Control Center to study the epidemic, the virus name of QS-DLL. This is also the virus first appeared in China clustered cases.

The researchers found that the virus can be combined with the Ad11 antibodies by serological detection of QS-DLL,. Thus, the QS-DLL is judged to be variants of Ad11's. In the year 2010, the sub-type adenovirus has been subject serotypes. "However, the only serotypes of the virus sub-type is one-sided." Southern Medical University, Public Health and Tropical Medicine, Dr. Zhang Qiwei introduced to the "Financial" reporter, "The serotypes depends on the hexon protein, only about 900 amino acid composition compared to the entire genome of the adenovirus is this is just a very short part of, can not accurately reflect the situation of the virus and other proteins. "

U.S. National Institutes of Health human adenovirus research group, the main Xitangnade Stuart, Donald Seto, long-term studies of adenovirus, in 2009 with the Chinese to cooperate, try re-typing the whole genome sequence of QS-DLL, Dr. Zhang Qiwei also participated in the study. They soon found that this is an unusual respiratory pathogens, "generated by the kidney virus Ad11 and respiratory pathogens Ad14 restructuring, after the reorganization of the virus on the human immune system, just as the 'Trojan horse', it looks like a kidney pathogens, in fact, attack the respiratory system. " Donald Stuart to explain the "financial" reporters.

Thus the QS-DLL is identified as a new type of recombinant adenovirus, and was named Ad55. Donald Stuart specially stressed that the 55 "type" and type 11, the former genome type (type), the latter serotype (serotype). The adenovirus family has been producing paper confirmed a total of 55 kinds, 51 kinds of serotypes, named after the four kinds of genome type named.

Ad55 type is not the first one will not last a recombinant adenovirus. Now more and more of the adenovirus restructuring, "said Zhang Qiwei.

Ad55's unsolved mysteries

The Baoding epidemic virus detection the whole process takes about 48 hours.

According to the publication of the Ministry of Health, ended at 8:00 on the February 25 fever cases are mild, non-critically ill patients, no deaths. But did not disclose the specific number of infections.

The force experts said the the Baoding epidemic before the troops had detected adenovirus. Comprehensive and accurate understanding of the virus, lab on Ad55 genome-wide analysis, results showed that the the Baoding outbreak of adenovirus Shaanxi Qishan epidemic in 2006, the same ancestors, but after six years, the proliferation of the virus also occurred in a slight change in , but overall little change.


snip

However, some information can be inferred from the epidemic. To be sure, the virus genetic variation as small as the characteristics of the virus change will be the less. Therefore, from the outbreak has occurred in a glimpse of the Ad55 pathogenicity and transmissibility.


snip

Donald Stuart also believes that the possibility of large-scale spread of the virus, but does not produce the impact of SARS, as. Because of SARS, highly pathogenic, resulting in healthy people were killed, and adenovirus showed only on the basis of disease, suffering life-threatening.

China is currently not yet been established adenovirus infection routine monitoring point."
