        National health and family planning commission reported yesterday, Shanghai and anhui found 3 cases of human infection H7N9 avian influenza. In the bulletin attached quiz "outbreak", health and family planning commission asking "Shanghai confirmed two cases of patients were died in early march, why national health and family planning commission" was released on March 31, epidemic, and its replied, H7N9 avian flu virus was first discovered in the world, has not yet been incorporated into the legal infectious disease monitoring report system in China.

        To follow the law normally yes, but it could not reassure the public. Own health and family planning, that it is aware of the public may doubt. Shanghai is the earliest cases come on February 19, on March 4 the nikkei died; Another example of February 27, March 10 deaths. Released from the onset to the 42 days from the first death to also released after 27 days apart, it is people's doubts: why can't publish to the society the disease more earlier?

        A possible reference to, is the first occurred in China's Hong Kong and the mainland in 2009 influenza outbreak. April 30, a Mexican man who arrived in the port was diagnosed with influenza a (H1N1), the SAR government, announced late on May 1, will the outbreak alert series by the "serious" ascend to the highest of "emergency". On May 13, diagnosis in a patient with influenza a (H1N1) in shandong province, the ministry of health also immediately issued a notification.

        Compared two outbreaks, we feel that the government before and after the reaction is quite different, 2009 fast reaction, the reaction is very slow. Understandably, in 2009 the outbreak of influenza a (H1N1) is registered, diagnosis does; And H7N9 avian flu virus is the world's first discovery, accurate judgment outbreaks have a process.

        Said the H7N9 avian flu "in accordance with the" publish to the society, is according to the law on the prevention and control of infectious diseases, H7N9 avian influenza viruses are not listed in our catalogs of infectious disease, do not belong to "legal infectious diseases", a series of management systems are not suitable for it. Shanghai, March 29 cases samples will be sent to Beijing authorities H7N9 avian flu virus was isolated, March 31, health and family planning to publish to the society. Look, also not be slow.
