China offers bird flu insurance:
Minsheng Life Insurance has been given the go-ahead by the China Insurance Regulatory Commission, according to the state-run China Daily newspaper.
The scheme will pay out a maximum of 100,000 yuan ($12,400; £7,000).
People in the main cities will pay 200 yuan for the policy, while those outside only 100 yuan, although for a reduced payout of 50,000 yuan.
Thankfully, this story also qualifies as a China story, thus fulfilling the required daily quota.
