A doctor from the city of Yulin in the southern China says that four or five patients with H1N1 die every day. "All hospitals have deaths," he said. "We have deaths in the morning, afternoon and evening. When a reporter asked the doctor in the city of Yulin about the details of the victims, such as names, ages and occupations, the doctor was very cautious. "I dare not tell you any specific information. The victims are young and old," he said.
According to reports, the Chinese Communist Party is covering up the spread of H1N1 in the country. Doctors in many hospitals in China have been warned not to diagnose H1N1, according to a recent study by New Tang Dynasty Television (NTDTV).
Instead, doctors were asked to diagnose patients with "flu season" or "pneumonia." Only selected critically ill patients who underwent a confirmatory test of H1N1.
"No, we do not tell [about the H1N1], only saying it's flu," says a doctor on condition of anonymity. "The government does not care ... There are many rules-if 10 people die, you can not report the 10, you can report only one. Now only lies. "
A doctor from the province of Shandong in eastern China, has about 40 patients with symptoms of H1N1 have been treated since September day in his clinic, but the clinic reported zero patients.
Fever patients are sent home, too many to examine all
Patients with fever are asked at the Center for Disease Control in Yulin city to remain in quarantine at home, doctors say.
"At first we examined the patients, but now there are too many. The Center for Disease Control does not examine the samples we sent them, "says a doctor in the fever clinic of the First People's Hospital of Yulin City. He said that 90 percent of patients with fever may have H1N1.
"We do not examine patients, because even patients who test positive in the test can only be quarantined at home and take medication for the common cold," he continues. "There are too many patients. Now, hospitals in level two and above are all hospitals designated as H1N1.
Note: Hospitals in counties and cities of medium size are classified as level two. Some large industrial sites may have their own hospitals and are generally classified as level two, such as hospitals in the mining or oil companies.
An official of the city of Yulin, Guangxi province, the Center for Disease Control telephone communication cut off immediately when he showed a reporter from The Epoch Times.
While doctors are saying that many people have died of H1N1, no media reports on the official Chinese death toll higher. According to Guangxi News, the Guangxi Health Department reported two deaths in 14 cities across the province of Guangxi during the week of 14 to 20 December.
Regional health departments to identify cases of severe flu if they have a fever between 38.5 and 39 degrees Celsius or more for three consecutive days can not be down with common medications for fever and if they have other symptoms, including severe cough, pain pectoris, mental confusion, vomiting, or diarrhea.
Schools suspended classes.
A citizen of Yulin said that almost all primary schools, secondary schools and universities suspended classes again. "The epidemic has started again," he says. "Most schools suspended classes for two weeks. Students do not dare to go to school, and nobody dares to go out at night, the streets are quiet. A teacher at an English school in the city of Yulin also note that the school closed for two weeks after three students and one teacher were positive with the H1N1 test.
"They found a student with fever and then called their parents to ask that the child take the test of H1N1," says the teacher. "Later, the Center for Disease Control sent people to school to test students, the students sent to hospital when the results were H1N1 positive."
Experts in Guangxi Disease Control say the H1N1 epidemic is intensifying, with the coldest months still to come, January and February are the winter months in Guangxi. Many people travel during the New Year and Chinese New Year, a key period for the prevention and control of the epidemic of H1N1.
