Very confusing... everything shows this death was by the new flu but the local govt discharges. The Federal authorities did not made any statement today. They changed the criteria for testing and for reporting cases, just twice a week and later, once a week... few data for public information 
Anyways, another truck driver, this time they say he was not that healthy...
