Re: China - Guandong Province H1N1 - 3 Villages Quarantined - 1 Possible Death

A couple things come to mind here. There first is whether the cases are confirmed H1N1 or merely suspected. It seems the deceased woman was elderly, and this could just be seasonal flu.

What scares me a little about this outbreak is the location. While I am relieved slightly to see there is some history of travel to the US, there are a lot more scary things that have come out of Guangdong than H1N1.

I would felt a little more at ease if these cases were confirmed as something, even H1N1 to rule out H5N1 or SARS.

Re: China - Guandong Province H1N1 - 3 Villages Quarantined - 1 Possible Death

OK. I feel a little better. It appears that at least one case in this cluster is confirmed H1N1, and on closer reading, the mother's death might not have had anything to do with any illness.

It might have just been a "surprise" by nautral causes.

Re: China - Guandong Province H1N1 - 3 Villages Quarantined - 1 Possible Death

It is correct that we do not know what the mother died from. Hence the word "possible". It is interesting that 3 villages have been quarantined (blocked) for only 1 confirmed H1N1 case.

Re: China - Guandong Province H1N1 - 3 Villages Quarantined - 1 Possible Death

No, the mother died on 5/17, and he arrived the next day. She couldn't have died of H1N1. She died before he arrived.

That's one heckuva surprise for someone flying to China to see his mother.

And if he was 62, she was likely over 80, so natural causes is a good guess.

But is the mention of 26 patients in the first article a date (5/26), or are there 26 other possible cases?

Re: China - Guandong Province H1N1 - 3 Villages Quarantined - 1 Possible Death

What's your reading on the 26 patients in your article though? Do you think others are ill, or is 5/26 a date involved?

I just compared the two articles, and 5/26 happens to be the date the case was confirmed. I think there is only the one case so far, and an over-reaction like blocking villages is understandable given the history Guangodng has had with emerging respiratory diseases.

I think can also be translated as 26th, which may reference a date two days earlier rather than 26 individuals.

I agree with you. I know little about the Chinese language, so I thank you for that information.

I think maybe we should take the death out of the headline of this thread due to timing issues.

It seem like the article you posted from sina.com (#11) is the same as the original article, minus the translation error(s). That article seems consistent with the other articles on this case. The case on the 17th is a DIFFERENT imported case. The two articles seem consistent.

The clean translation in #11 also indicates that his mother's death was the reason for his trip, not just an unpleasant surprise, which is certainly more believeable than what I had originally assumed.

The articles do differ on the number of contacts under observation, but do any of the articles mention any illness in any contact? My reading of the articles doesn't find any.
