A/H1N1 claims 4th victim in China

swine-flu.jpg A student from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics has reportedly died from A/H1N1, marking the fourth death in China from the Swine Flu. The death was brought about from the contagion spreading during obligatory military training, where twenty eight students were infected with the virus and quarantined. The student was also the first in a major city to die from Swine Flu, although there have been related deaths. As the flu season descends on us in Shanghai, it might be a good idea to go get a flu vaccination. Or at least refrain from licking pigs. Photo from badgirlsrpeople2 @ Wordpress
