BREAKING UPDATE August 11, 2015 / 591 cases / 300 deaths from H7N9 . MERS CoV 1352 Cases, 479 deaths

It will kill most of the human population

Reports say most of the infections came from handling poultry.. The key word I picked out there was 'most'.

does anyone know what killed all the pigs floating in the river in China?

China is very unhygienic, so I'm not suprised people are getting sick so easily.

I was in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou six months ago. Each of those cities are over 20 million in population. People are jammed together like sardines in trains, buses, apartments, etc.

There are dead meat carcasses in the streets, restaurants reuse utensils without washing them (I brought my own plastic utensils when going out), people spit everywhere, pick their noses in public like no big deal, etc. don't wash their hands, sneeze on you, regularly use the streets as a bathroom, and the water is not potable even in the 5 star hotels I stayed at. My guide wore the same clothes for a week. Not sure she took a bath either.

I resorted to drinking only bottled water or boiled water with purification tablets. But that probably wasn't good enough either. Did not eat any fruit I didn't peel myself, didn't drink juice or eat salad in case someone used tap water to prepare it. Used bottled water for tooth brushing.

I seriously feel awful for the people there. It is impossible to live safely.

Not to mention the horrific smog.

In Shanghai, I felt like I was smoking 10 cigarettes at once; I had a horrible time breathing on certain days _inside_ my "non-smoking" hotel room.

I don't understand how people who are so smart refuse to even make an effort at treating their water and do something about food safety issues and basic hygiene issues. One colleague had the horror of having to go to a Chinese emergency room where blood and vomit lay in the floor with nobody doing anything about it.

It's like they just don't care.

So, yeah, no surprise. It was a miracle I got through 2.5 weeks without an illness.

The reason why swine flu made so many headlines last time was because of the danger of it mutating and spreading from bird to other animals and mixing with common strains to become a super virus easily passed on by humans. It didn't though and governments were called scaremongers because it didn't.

This strain sounds like it is well on its way to becoming what they and the sensibly cautious of us feared but governments will be more reluctant to warn against it now because of what happened with it last time.

I can see this exploding one day when it is far to late to prevent and the world will be asking why...

Too early to tell, but so far 35 - 40%

Shanghai tests show H7N9 bird flu in chickensChicken samples in Shanghai were revealed last night to be infected with the H7N9 virus.

It prompted the agriculture ministry to increase checks for the deadly strain of bird flu as the city temporarily closed live poultry markets and suspended live bird sales elsewhere.
