Snip: Haemorrhagic fever has killed at least five people, including a woman doctor, and infected around 45 people in Pakistan's biggest city of Karachi, health officials said on Saturday. The cause of the death of Yusra Afaq, a doctor in a government-run hospital, last week has been identified as Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever.
Fish products from China may contain carcinogen
Snip: He said the CFIA now is testing just five fish among the thousands that come in as part of each shipment. "If the five fish tested happen to be clean ones, the rest of the shipment has then been approved for sale, even though it can be full of contaminated fish," Cran said.
"That's what happened recently when these fish from an approved shipment were purchased at a British Columbia supermarket. These shipments went through the CFIA inspection process, were approved, then sold to consumers even though they were contaminated. This is not acceptable." Cran said the CFIA has not publicly advised Canadian consumers about the contamination.
Yelm's school water has e-coli
Snip: The E. coli was found during a routine test of the school’s water system. Prairie Elementary is one of three Yelm elementary schools using well water instead of city water. The other two, Lackamas and Southworth, have no contamination.
The source of the E. coli seems to be the 120,000-gallon reservoir from which the school gets its water, according to Tim Tayne, a water quality expert with Clearwater Utility Services, who tests the Yelm systems.
“It looked like maybe that hatch — that’s the lid on top of the reservoir — didn’t fit quite tight,” Tayne said. “With all the rain that’s fallen, it’s hard to tell.”

The above should have read like this:
“It looked like maybe that hatch — that’s the lid on top of the reservoir
— didn’t fit quite tight, after they dumped in the vial of germs, maybe they were in a hurry!!!” Tayne said. “With all the rain that’s fallen, it’s
hard to tell.”
