Mascots seen as signs of times Bloggers have linked China's earthquake disaster and other recent misfortunes to the five Olympic mascots. The five Olympic mascots are Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying, Nini and Beibei. Jingjing, a panda, is the animal most closely associated with Sichuan province where the earthquake struck.
A Peking University sociologist, Xie Xueluan, told the newspaper: "Chinese see major calamities as divine intervention ... The absence of religion reinforces this trend." Other online prophets of doom say the recent disasters have come on days that are related to the normally lucky Chinese number eight. The Tibet riots (14/3) and the earthquake (12/5) happened on a date whose digits add up to eight. This bodes ill for the opening day of the Beijing Olympics - August 8, 2008 - which was chosen for its auspicious abundance of China's lucky number. Posted: 11:07:07 PM

Bird Flu Medicine Toxic for Teens Although the drug has been the only medicine accredited to be effective against the H5N1 virus strain by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Japanese and Korean governments restricted its being prescribed to teenagers last year. The Korea Food and Drug Administration announced that the drug should not be prescribed to those between 10 to 19 years old except for emergencies. Search "vaccinations" in this site...
