Jason Pierre-Paul Jersey The H1N1 flu pandemic has peaked in most parts of the country, top Chinese epidemiologists said yesterday, even as the World Health Organization (WHO) said the worst was not over internationally. Justin Tuck Jersey . Since January, the Influenza B virus has replaced the H1N1 strain as the dominant flu virus in most parts of the Chinese mainland, including Beijing, He Xiong, deputy director of the Beijing Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC), told China Daily yesterday. But he said the nationwide H1N1 flu vaccination, which is free and optional, is still underway and has so far covered at least 78.3 million people. The pandemic featuring clusters of outbreaks is over, but the vaccinations will protect people from a possible strong return of H1N1 in the coming fall and winter seasons, he said. China has recorded at least 671 H1N1 deaths by February 7, according to data from the Ministry of Health. The ministry stopped regular updating of its website from Feb 12. Globally, while H1N1 prevalence is steadily declining in some parts, there is still high levels of activity in regions like West Africa, North Africa and parts of Southeast Asia, according to Vivian Tan, press officer of the WHO Beijing Office. By observing that H1N1 transmission has not yet peaked globally, we are advising countries to stay vigilant and be prepared for a possible local upsurge in new cases in the coming months. The flu virus is generally unstable, so we cannot predict how it will behave in the near future, she told China Daily yesterday. The WHO recommends that vaccinations continue because it is one of the best defenses against H1N1 virus infection, especially for high-risk groups like pregnant women and people with chronic diseases. People should also get vaccinated in case there is another wave of infections, Tan said. The H1N1 virus has been responsible for almost 16,000 deaths worldwide.

And thats just fine with the Orlando Magic. "If you listen to what the experts are saying, all the teams are jockeying to play us," Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. Hedo Turkoglu scored 23 points, Rashard Lewis added 21 and the Magic, one of this seasons biggest surprises, locked up the Eastern Conferences No. 3 playoff seed Saturday with a 101-86 win over the staggering Cleveland Cavaliers. The Magic, who have sat behind Boston and Detroit in the standings for much of the season, won despite getting only four points on 1-of-8 shooting from All-Star centre Dwight Howard - 17 below his average. Orlandos defence, though, was the difference. The Magic held Cleveland to 14 points on 17 per cent shooting (4-of-23) in the fourth quarter and didnt let Cavaliers superstar LeBron James get his first points of the final period until there was 1:48 left. By then, Orlando was up by double digits and in cruise control. James, who has been bothered by back spasms, finished with 17 points (on 6-of-22 shooting), nine assists and seven rebounds. But for the second straight game, he wasnt able to score as he usually does and his teammates didnt give him any help. His back was tight, but James refused to blame it for the loss. "I just not been able to come through for my team in the fourth quarter the last two games," James said. "It starts with me." James said the spams are in his lower back and he has been stiffening up during halftime. The Cavaliers, who have been injury-plagued all season, are trying to nail down the No. 4 seed. They have five regular-season games left and James would prefer not to miss any of them. "Right now, I cant afford to," he said. "Weve got to clinch the fourth seed. We still have to get better. Were at a point right now where we have so many injuries that its hard for us to improve." Howard had 12 rebounds, Jameer Nelson had 16 points and 9 assists and reserve Pat Garrity had 13 points for the Magic (48-28), who won 40 games last season and are now two victories from their first 50-win season since 1995-96 - when they lost in the conference finals.

Cleveland outrebounded Orlando 32-11 in the first half, including 14-3 on the offensive glass. At halftime, Van Gundy let his players know that he wasnt happy with the lopsided numbers or their effort. "I was beside myself," he said. The Magic came out much hungrier after the break. "We came out with a lot more energy," Howard said. "We just played harder than they did. " Delonte West scored 19 points and Zydrunas Ilgauskas 18 for Cleveland, which has dropped five of seven and is staggering toward the regular-season finish line. With the score tied 75-all, the Magic ripped off 10 straight points, the last coming on a three-point play by Keyon Dooling with 5:37 left. Ilgauskas finally ended the drought for Cleveland, but Turkoglu, one of the NBAs best performers in the fourth quarter this season, scored five points and Orlando opened a 92-79 lead with 3:02 remaining. Clevelands outside game was almost nonexistent, and with Orlando sagging its defence to stop James from driving, the Cavaliers needed someone to step up. No one did. Wally Szczerbiak and Daniel Gibson both went 1-of-7 from the field. James was only 1-of-7 in the fourth and Cleveland is 10-for-46 in the final 12 minutes of its past two games. "We got lucky. LeBron James had one of his bad nights," Van Gundy said. "Well take it." Notes: Before the game, Cavs coach Mike Brown revealed that James back has been bothering him for some time. Brown wants to get James as much rest as possible over the final five games to have him as fresh as possible for the playoffs. . Orlando won for just the second time in 22 games when trailing after three quarters. . Turkoglu is a leading candidate for the leagues most improved player award. Hes averaging career-highs in scoring, assists, rebounds and minutes played. On top of that, Turkoglu leads the Magic in fourth-quarter scoring (6.1 points) and has won three games with shots in the closing seconds. Eli Manning Jersey.
