Doctor are very worried about the discover of a 4 year old carrier of h7n9 bird flu virus. The boy shows no symptoms of the virus but Beijing is worried that it would spread and create a breakout of the virus. The boy might have gotten it from his parents business, they work in the poultry and fish trading business. Researchers are trying to figure out if the virus is spreadable between humans. The virus is only found in bird until they found this on boy. It could cause a huge discovery and problem. In China 71 cases of h7n9 have been reported and 14 have died from it. Some cities in eastern China have suspended trading in live poultry.
Its scary to think that there are still viruses we have not found. I fear that it could spread to the US.

This bird flu really has been a mystery on where it comes from and how it is spread.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how it started. That's so scary. I hope they catch it before anything else happens.
