I hope it is finally starting to slow, even if almost no one out of China has noticed all these sick people.
Channelnewsasia.com: "The number of Chinese children confirmed dead from hand, foot and mouth disease has risen to 34 with nearly 25,000 people infected but the outbreak's spread may be slowing, state media said on Friday.
Xinhua news agency reported four new deaths, including an eight-month-old girl in southern China's Guangdong province and a one-year-old boy in the southwestern Guangxi region.
Two more children also had died in the hard-hit eastern province of Anhui, it said, adding that the number of cases nationwide had risen to 24,934 as of Thursday.
However, the national Health Ministry said those discharged from hospitals in Anhui now exceeded new cases for the first time.
Most new cases there also were less severe than previously, it said in a statement on its website."
