New Strategy for AIDS in China

The Chinese government has unveiled a multifaceted new strategy to deal with AIDS within it’s borders, reports the Shanghai Daily News. The plan calls for cooperation between different levels of government, including local citizen’s groups. The rights of citizens with HIV/AIDS have also been established.

This plan will help China to reduce the harm from this epidemic. There are 650 000 HIV/AIDS cases currently reported in China.

More Mummies

For the first time since King Tut’s tomb was found in 1922, an untouched tomb has been found. Inside were found five mummies. The mummies were in sarcophagi dating from the 18th Dynasty, from 1567 BC to 1320 BC.

According to the director of the dig, “This cache is important because it will tell us what the Valley of the Kings was really like.”
