Dying to get out

Move over David Copperfield, it's actually China that's discovered the fountain of youth....well at least the secret to immortality:

A third of deaths were not reported to the country's national surveillance system, it says. About one in five hospitals did not report any deaths at all.

Even where deaths were reported, there were often delays and mistakes. In about a quarter of cases, the cause of death given just related to symptoms, such as heart or lung failure.

If bird flu hits, you know you'll be safe in one of these hospitals.
