UPDATE 3

    They found "patient zero"! Turns out, he is an adorable looking little 5 year old who got sick in March. Since the doctors did not know what they were looking for, they sent him home. Since the outbreak started, they re-tested his blood back then and discovered he tested positive for the flu. He has fully recovered since then. Now the other question is this...how did he get it? Well, there is a pig farm near his village and the villagers are a little skeptical about it because they feel that it may come from that particular farm. They didn't want them to open the farm there because it was a little too close to the village. The owner of the farm claims that the virus did not come from their farm. Tehy followed all protocols needed. Monthly vaccinations and monthly testing for the pigs. I don't know if they are telling the truth, but who knows. I guess the only way to find out now is if the owners allow their pigs to be re-tested. Just to be sure.

Don't you think?
