Leaked Mail app message might reveal H7N9 cover-up (Middle East possibly involved)!

So far, we've been told that H7N9 is nothing to worry about as long as you aren't near any birds. According to some reports, the new virus is characterised by a lack of human-to-human transmission.

According to a leaked What'sApp/SMS message (I can't really tell between the two to be honest), this may not be the case at all.



This message was sent by a certain daily tabloid in Hong Kong (I won't say which, but it's the best-selling newspaper if I remember correctly). The exact contents are as follows (rough translation by me):



The company has just announced that the company has privately got hold of the actual situation. The H7N9 outbreak in Eastern China is extremely serious. Halt all journalistic activities in Eastern China and the Middle East. We suggest that all employess do not go to the above mentioned places if it is not necessary to do so, including Southern China. If you have been to the Mainland, please report and monitor your body temperature. If you have a fever, request a day off immediately and do not go to work.


I did not take any liberties with the translation and have translated it nearly word-for-word. If you speak Chinese, please verify my translation. Thanks.

If this is true, then the paper (which is somewhat pro-Beijing, and thus may have access to censored information from the Mainland) may be holding up info. The date on the message says 4 April, but it's the 6th now and they haven't reported anything of this gravity.

I really hope this ends up in the hoax bin because if this were accurate, it would be really scary.

ATS is best for major and quick updates for about any news as it and contributors have done here (which we can probably safely assume is not a hoax).

To round out the lack of up-to-date reporting on this topic and for a more detailed examination at what is at play with these different viruses, I suggest that people also check out Rense.com and Dr. Henry Niman's reports.

Personally, I don't see any material conflict between Rense.com and ATS as each has their niche and compliment each other. I understand, however, the powers that be at ATS might feel differently, so let's see how gallant they may be. If this post remains, great for ATS!

BTW: The headline is incorrect. China is not considered to be in the Middle East.

According to a leaked What'sApp/SMS message


I Google searched screenshots of the WhatsApp and I wasn't able to find any that remotely resembled the format shown in the photo you attached. Not saying that's the case definitively however, just that I couldn't find anything to validate with a comparison.

You won't provide the source, or can't?

So far that's 2 red flags for me at least. The only thing to go on for credibility at this point is your wavered speculative theory, which is not enough imho.

Won't; don't want the company to get mad about it. How about that: It's listed under 'Pro-Beijing Leftist' on Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org...) and the name is closely related to the place of origin; an English word referring to a direction, in fact.


There might be a temporary problem with Google (maybe google.com.hk is updating faster) because there are three pages with this screenshot (www.facebook.com..., hkreporter.loved.hk... www.facebook.com...) and no, I wasn't the poster on any of these pages.

What can i see from the screenshot is certainly a "Mail" app that can be found on iPhones

Well that is quite evident...but that still doesn't suggest it's genuine. But I don't know...

I got a strange email this morning...

Scary why? It's flu. Despite the doomy overtone of the text the best medical advice it provides is what? A day off work. Not seek immediate medical attention, but a day off work. Hell, maybe even 3 or 4 days. Is there a chance you could die? Sure, flu kills thousands every year. So what?

Officially, there has been 16 cases so far and six deaths. That's nearly a 40% mortality rate.

Besides, if it's nothing, there would be no need to cover up anything...

They wouldn't cover it up if there was nothing to hide.
I cannot find anything, therefore they must be covering it up.

non sequitur.

No, there is evidence that they're hiding things other than the fact that I can't find it. According to the message, they have got hold of information about the disease, that it is much more serious and, although this was implied rather than explicit, affected the Middle East.

They didn't cover this on their paper. Surely, if the message is genuine, they're hiding something?

As long as there is no human to human transmission it won't be that much of a problem.

The culled like 40 thousand birds in the last few days to try and get rid of the problem. I don't expect China to be very forthcoming with a lot of things, but something like this, if it was that serious, would be reported everywhere.

China would not attempt to quell a pandemic outbreak on it's own. It knows that the majority of the best labs in the world are located outside of China and they would no doubt want their assistance.

That's what the news says, but from the message, and from the fact that an elderly man and his two sons all got the flu (www.abovetopsecret.com...), I suspect that there is.

I'm not sure about that... they're not bad at covering things up to avoid this kind of behaviour. I think it could be that the major powers, rather than just China, have decided not to reveal anything yet, to keep observing for the time being.

I don't trust screen shots from anonymous sources, that are easily replicated in a 5 min Photoshop tutorial.

SO I can't really lend any credence to what is in the OP, other than I think the outbreak is a big deal, but nobody wants a global pandemic.

Don't get too hung up on the app design.

You know it was sent through one of those cheap Chinese knockoff iPhones.

The most worrying aspect would be how quickly the virus will mutate,at the moment it seems to be confined to avian-human contact,however,when the avian hosts are being slaughtered on such a large scale as that being reported,will we shortly begin to see evidence of Human-Human transmission? Viruses are the most adaptable organisms on this planet after all.

That is true, but from what I gather they needed to actually ingest the meat to contract the virus. If it's a fluid transmission, and not in the air, then there's not much to worry about.

It would be very unique for a virus to jump so far off it's original course in such a short period of time. Then again, it does only take that one jump.

According to an RSOE EDIS update, a sample of the strain was sent to the CDC about three or four days ago in order to develop a vaccine.

We need a good plague with 10% or less survival rate. The more people their are the worse things get economically and politicaly. Governments need to reconsider all laws because all governments are based on religion. Religion is just an outdated form of government. Religion must die. It can and will happen. Religion just makes people stupid. Going to a church of any kind is like going to an insane asylum.
