Re: WHO: Avian influenza ? situation in China - update

Note that this WHO report does not directly identify the location where the initial infections took place for each of these individuals. It only identifies the "home town" of the individuals.

For example, the 16 year old is reported to have become sick in Guizhou Province.
Patients吴某某, M, 16-year-old students, who lives in Qiandongnan Prefecture of Guizhou Province. Patients January 8, 2009 the incidence in Guizhou whose condition had worsened in the January 16 Huaihua City, Hunan Province into hospitalization. Patient is now in a critical condition and are actively in treatment.

The location listed in the WHO update for this individual is Huaihua City, Hunan Province, where he is hospitalized and being treated, not where he was infected.
 
Re: WHO: Avian influenza ? situation in China - update

The WHO update ignores the mother of the 2F in Hunan, just as the Beijing update ignored the HCW (and updates state that contacts are healthy).

WHO updates remain hazardous to the world's health.
