I don't understand the translation ... are they saying over 40000 or 80000 tests were done with only 39 positive?

I interpret this sentence: "So far, the provinces and the National Avian Influenza Reference Laboratory were collected sample 84,444 to complete the detection of the 47,801 samples..."

As: 84,444 samples were collected, 47,801 analyzed so far. They have detected 39 positives among the 47,801 samples tested.

Ok. Gotcha. Makes more sense now.

It seems like a really low positive rate. Either the disease would be more prevalent in the sample source or the disease is extremely infectious from birds to humans.
What are sample sizes and positives for H5N1 in similar tests?
