At Least Two Dead in China from Bird Flu with Confirmed Cases on the Rise

Chinese state media is reporting that two people have died of the particularly deadly H7N9 strain of avian influenzain one of their Eastern provinces, and that 15 cases of human infection with the disease have been confirmed already in January 2015 (a double-digit count in less than three weeks). This is significant because this particular strain of the disease was one of the things I mentioned a few days ago in an article asserting that health officials are wary of the new mutation, due to its potential for causing a devastating worldwide pandemic. In addition, one must also realize that the regime in power in China is not very forthcoming and is notorious for downplaying situations such as this in the world press, so if they are admitting to 15 cases and two fatalities in less than three weeks then there is a good chance the numbers are actually higher in reality.

Add that to five dead already in Egypt this year from the more typical H5N1 strain and the recent discovery that the H5N2 strain of the disease (which has not yet mutated to be able to jump species and infect humans, but eventually could just as H7N9 did in 2013) has popped-up in infected geese, ducks, and chickens on the coast of Washington state right here in the U.S.
