Heda Bayron: WHO Says Bird Flu Outbreak in China Worse than Reported

From Voice of America:

The United Nations health agency says an influenza outbreak among migratory birds in Northwestern China is far worse than the government had reported.

World Health Organization experts who recently visited China’s northwestern province of Qinghai told reporters that five times as many birds have died of the avian flu there as originally reported.

Meanwhile, the Xinhua headline reports “Int’l organizations ‘impressed’ by China’s commitment in fighting bird flu.”
