Chinese authorities have confirmed in the past week that three people were diagnosed with the plague. However, netizens believe that there could be more cases as the contagious disease could have spread, and that authorities are covering up evidence.
The latest patient diagnosed with a form of plague was reported to have contracted the illness after consuming a wild hare. He then travelled by train after he showed symptoms of the disease. The patient may have infected those who he came into close proximity with while he travelled.
