China: New epidemic?

Lots of "below the headlines" stuff about Japan and Indonesia killing chickens to stop bird flu...

and a lot of worry that Indonesia's inefficient culling of chickens is allowing that disease to persist, meaning the chance of it's mutating is getting higher.

But this rumor, that China is covering up either human bird flu or SARS in GuangGhou, is really worrysome, especially with the Chinese New Year celebrations coming up soon.
