It looks like it is spreading fast when the numbers infected on Aug 1 were 1,291 and the numbers four weeks later are 23,000.

Well... one possibility is that the thing that started and went undiagnosed for several week is still unknown, but that they have gotten a flu outbreak in the middle of it. The fatality rate during the first month seems to have been around 12%, four times higher than now. Assuming that the count for the first month is reasonably correct.

I've been checking google everyday since I read this thread, and there doesn't appear to be any new information since Aug. 31. And it's nowhere in the mainstream media. I'm going to keep my eye on this one.
