Outbreaks of different types of animal related flu and epidemics in China

Editorial note: The rising outbreaks of different types of animal related flu and epidemics reflect the severity of environmental and ecological damages in China. The appetite for exotic wild life and exotic leather products, being used as a statement to flaunt one's fortune, is the driving factor of exotic and endangered animal poaching and the illegal wild life trade in PRC. Corrupted government officials at all levels are often part of these illegal activities, making it even harder to curb at root sources.

Poor animal captivity and animal trading environments means certain markets become readily become outbreak sites for infectious and deadly diseases. China has a lot to do to improve in terms of
epidemics prevention and monitoring system.

Whether CCP's workers at all level truthfully disclose information to the public timely and transparently matters a lot in the prevention of animal-to-animal or animal-to-human transmission. Yet this is CCP’s darkest side. Under such a tyrannical and authoritarian government, workers from top to bottom report ‘good news’ to appease their superiors. CCP’s self-deception and mutual manipulative practices have become a curse, a never ending one cycling through a vicious cycles of deceit and mistakes.

CCP's secretive ways of handling things often impede and delay proper prevention measures and control outbreaks. Communities are locked in self-reinforcing vicious cycle of repeated contagious
epidemics that cause high casualties.

Summary: Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs announced that a highly pathogen strain of H5N1 has been reported at Hainan Province. Local authority said they had put down all the poultry at the breakout chicken farm.

Daquangou Reservoir, Xinjiang recorded H5N6 bird flu, affecting swans. The reservoir belongs to the administrative region of the league 8 construction unit of the army. There were 190 swans in the reservoir. 19 of them were found to have the bird flu. Another 19 infected swans have already died. Authorities claimed that they have sanitised the surrounding environment while putting the remaining swans in close monitoring.

14 PRC scientists, including bird biologists, epidemics prevention and control experts, forestry and agricultural experts who examined and investigated different types of wildlife epidemics in China warned that the trend of wild life and animal related epidemics will be persistently high in 2020. They recommend the PRC government to strengthen measures to curb wild lives poaching and trading. Traders and buyers should face stiffer penalties.
