Its never easy - Chen Qi blog closure

As Mike Coston at Avian Flu Diary and Crof at H5N1 mentioned in their blogs the closure of Chen Qi blog. Its never easy to learn a fellow comrade has decided to bid farewell in something which he has done with great effort and hard work.

However I will wait for the time Paul at Chen Qi to start on his new endeavour. Thanks a million Paul, you are one of a kind.

" After years of dedication to this website, I have decided to end it here and now. Too many equal blogs and too little readers make it easier despite the fact that I have done it with great enjoyment and I will miss it badly. Thank you very much for all the years of following and I will definitely start something new.

untill then!"

Japan : 2 superbug-infected inpatients die at Mie hospital

Thanks to Chen Qi :

" Sunday 17th October, 05:33 AM JST TSU : Two inpatients at a hospital in Mie Prefecture became infected with antibiotic-resistant bacteria and later died of symptoms such as blood poisoning, the hospital said Saturday.

The Mie Prefectural Medical Center said a possible causal link between the infection with multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the deaths cannot be denied, and that it is strengthening measures to prevent infection, while testing other inpatients for possible infections.

The hospital said one of the two, an advanced-age man, was found to be infected with the bacteria during a medical examination following his transfer to the hospital with pneumonia on Sept 17. He died of pneumonia on Oct 4.

The other patient, an elderly woman, was found infected on Thursday and died of blood poisoning the following day.Pseudomonas aeruginosa is resistant to many antibacterial agents and infects people with compromised immune systems by contact. "
