Bird Flu-Alyssa Hamilton

A Bird Flu epidemic has broken out in Beijing. The first case was in late February, an 87 year old man who caught it and died 13 days later. The people are freaking out since it's a new form of Bird Flu. Not much is known about it now, scientists are studying the new form hoping that there is a way to contain it. They're hoping that it doesn't turn into a huge epidemic that spreads world wide since there have been many break outs of different types of Bird Flu that have spread all over the world and caused widespread panic.
Hopefully they'll be able to get the new form of Bird Flu under control.

  1. It's insane how much the flu has escalated recently. Hopefully it doesn't spread anymore.
