China's Bird Flu By Lucy Hinderliter

There are about eighteen cases of the bird flu in Shanghai, China. It has claimed the lives of six people. Because of this, the Chinese government has furthermore banned trading poultry in the the city of Nanjing. The source of the virus has not been proven to be caused by the birds but locals think that it's just a safety measure. So far, the World Health Organization has double-checked that the virus is not human transmitted.
