So...I'm not quite sure if there has been news in the United States about this, but there have been recent developments with the flu virus in Hong Kong. As of now, 5 school-aged children have died and the Teaching in Hong Kong program (with CU/IAS) has been suspended for now. Could it be the government is downplaying the health issue?
This past Sunday, China Daily has reported that the Guangdong province in Southern China (The Canton province in Mainland) has had an outbreak of the bird flu (29 cases in China, 19 fatal). Quite scary, huh?
Not to mention what's happening in Tibet right now. The U.S. Embassy has issued a travel alert. Good thing I'm not studying in Tibet...or planning to travel there any time soon.
Perhaps there will be a travel alert on Hong Kong....
