China swine flu scare confirmed as false

Do you know what your pigs are eating? Phew, it seems like we're safe after all. The Chinese children who were reported sick with swine flu-like symptoms have now been confirmed to be swine flu free. A total of 60 schoolchildren and three teachers in Shaanxi Province were suspected to have contracted the flu after they experienced fevers in mid-April. In perparation for a possible outbreak, health authorities had isolated the students at home nad closed the school. But now all patients have recovered and China can still declare itself untainted... for now. Source: Shanghai Daily
