Dead sparrows not infected with H7N9

Ten dead sparrows that were discovered in the city of Nanjing in east China's Jiangsu Province were not infected with the deadly H7N9 bird flu strain, local authorities confirmed on Sunday.

The sparrows, which were discovered Friday in a residential compound in the city's Jianye District, all tested negative for the H7N9 virus, according to an examination from the Jiangsu Provincial Animal Health Inspection Center.
The cause of the sparrows' deaths is not yet known.
A netizen from Nanjing posted a photo of the dead sparrows online Friday evening. The post was widely forwarded and stirred concerns regarding the possible appearance of the virus in Nanjing.
Eighteen H7N9 cases had been confirmed in China as of Saturday, with eight in Shanghai, six in Jiangsu Province, three in Zhejiang Province and one in Anhui Province. Four of the Shanghai cases and two of the Zhejiang cases have resulted in death.
The cases mark the first known human infections of the H7N9 strain.
The Nanjing municipal government ordered the suspension of all live poultry trade and the immediate closing of poultry markets on Saturday.
The city's 11 administrative districts have been required to report relevant information daily.

This is what happens when the filthy Chinese sleep with their equally filthy livestock.

I cant prove this but it is my conjecture that this strain of bird flu is not an actual bird flu but one which had caused the pig epidemic which killed off 80,000 pigs just a couple of weeks before all this broke....

the PRC govt being a bunch of untrustworthy fascists would hide all connections and try to label this epidemic as a "bird flu" when all signs should point to the fact that many thousands of pigs have died and are already probabl;y in their water systems......

[h=1]Chinese Asked to Change Eating Habits as H7N9 Infections Rise[/h]
China asked its citizens to avoid contact with live poultry as it tries to stem a deadly outbreak of H7N9 bird flu that’s killed six people and infected 15 others in three eastern provinces and Shanghai.
Consumers should avoid markets where poultry are butchered as authorities increase monitoring for the new influenza strain, Feng Zijian, head of emergency response at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said in Beijing today. A vaccine is being prepared in case the virus starts spreading from human to human, health officials said.

“Consumers should no longer pursue the kind of eating habits where they buy fresh chickens that are butchered on the spot,” Feng told reporters at a briefing held jointly with the World Health Organization. “Stalls and markets in cities where live poultry is being butchered need to be closely monitored as possible venues of infection.”
Shares in Shanghai (SHCOMP) and Taiwan fell on concern that infections may become more widespread, with airlines leading the slump after trading resumed today following a two-day holiday. The H7N9 infections tally rose to 21 after Chinese authorities reported three more cases yesterday. Asian makers of medical gloves rose, led by Supermax Corp., which said the outbreak in China will bolster earnings.
China “is confident” of controlling the virus, Ma Xiaowei, a vice minister at the National Health and Family Planning Commission, said in an interview in Beijing yesterday. The nation has adequate stocks of flu medication and is developing a vaccine for possible production, he said.
[h=2]Vaccine Production[/h]A new vaccine will take six to eight months to produce, said Liang Wannian, head of the H7N9 working group at China’s National Health and Family Planning Commission. The nation will share information about the latest cases in a timely manner and boost hospitals’ ability to handle them, he said.
“If the virus become transmissible between humans, and especially if it becomes a pandemic, then we will have to speed up the production of vaccines,” Liang told reporters today. “For now, we are still making preparations because there is no clear evidence this virus can be transmitted between humans.”
The new strain “may hurt investment sentiment in the very near term,” Minggao Shen and Ben Wei, analysts at Citigroup Inc. in Hong Kong, wrote in a note today. “If the cases of infection continue to rise in the following days, the transportation sector could be hit first, followed by the food and retailing sectors.”
[h=2]Travel Demand[/h]Airline stocks in China fell on concern the outbreak will curb travel demand. Air China Ltd. (601111), the nation’s biggest carrier by market value, fell 3.4 percent to 5.15 yuan in Shanghai trading, the lowest price since Dec. 13. China Southern Airlines Ltd. (600029) lost 2.6 percent and China Eastern Airlines Corp. (600115) declined 3.2 percent. The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index fell as much as 2 percent before closing down 0.6 percent.
Taiwan’s Taiex Index dropped 2.4 percent. China Airlines Ltd. closed 6 percent lower and Eva Airways Corp. (2618) fell 6.8 percent.
Supermax, Malaysia’s third-largest maker of medical gloves, gained as much as 6.4 percent, headed for the highest closing level since August. The H7N9 outbreak “augurs well” for the company’s growth plans and a surge in glove demand would lead to a profit increase, Group Managing Director Stanley Thai said in an e-mail. Top Glove Corp. (TOPG), Malaysia’s biggest rubber-glove maker, advanced as much as 4.7 percent.
Melbourne-based CSL Ltd. (CSL), the Southern Hemisphere’s biggest maker of flu vaccines, is ready to assist the Chinese government if needed, the Australian Financial Review quoted Chief Executive Officer Brian McNamee as saying.
[h=2]Genetic Hallmarks[/h]H7N9 has some of the genetic hallmarks of an easily transmissible virus, Ron Fouchier, a professor of molecular virology from the Netherlands, who showed how H5N1 avian flu could become airborne, said April 5.
More than 600 people have been infected with the H5N1 bird flu strain since 2003, and almost 60 percent have died, according to the WHO. Most had direct contact with infected poultry, and the virus hasn’t acquired the ability to spread easily between people.
The H1N1 virus responsible for the 2009 swine flu pandemic originated in pigs, then mixed with human and avian viruses, touching off the first global flu outbreak in more than 40 years and killing about 284,500 people, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Health authorities are still investigating how individual patients in China were infected by H7N9, and the WHO isn’t recommending travel or trade restrictions be applied at this stage, said Michael O’Leary, China representative of the Geneva- based United Nations health agency.
There has been no human-to-human transmission of H7N9, and no connection has been established yet between human infections of the virus and dead pigs found floating in aShanghai river, O’Leary said at the Beijing briefing today.
[h=2]Newest Infections[/h]All confirmed H7N9 infections have been in eastern China -- in Shanghai and in Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui provinces. Shanghai, the financial capital, has been hit hardest, with 10 infections including four deaths.
Of the three latest cases, two were residents of Shanghai while the third was a 55-year-old man from Anhui, now in stable condition, the WHO said.
The Shanghai cases are a 59-year-old man from Anhui province who fell sick on March 25 and was hospitalized for treatment on April 4, and a 67-year-old male Shanghai native who became ill on March 29 and whose condition is stable, the city government press office said on its official microblog.
[h=2]Bird Cull[/h]The cities of Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou have ordered live poultry markets to close and have seized birds, according to reports in the state-run CCTV and Xinhua News Agency.
The government in Nanjing, the capital of eastern Jiangsu province, banned non-farmers from raising fowl to help contain the outbreak, its city management bureau said. China’s Ministry of Agriculture also said today that visits to poultry farms nationwide would be strictly controlled to contain the virus.
In Hangzhou, where two of three people diagnosed with the disease have died, trade at a farm-produce market was suspended after the virus was found in quail and a cull started on April 6, Xinhua said.
Minimizing the risk of human infections will hopefully help reduce the danger of the virus mutating to a form where it can spread between people, said Benjamin Cowling, an infectious disease epidemiologist at the University of Hong Kong’s School of Public Health, in a Bloomberg Television interview today.
“The main concern is that this virus can suddenly acquire the ability to spread between humans, maybe by infecting a pig or human who has also got seasonal flu infection,” he said.
China may have to adopt similar measures to Hong Kong, which kills unsold live chickens at the end of each day to prevent viruses from spreading in a poultry market, he said.

Deadly H7N9 Bird Flu Cases At 24, Deaths At 7 In China; Chicken's Off Menus


Three new cases of the deadly bird flu H7N9 were found in China yesterday, increasing the total in the country to 24, the government’s Xinhua news agency reported. Seven people have died from the disease, an increase of one from Sunday.
The latest death was a 64-year-old retired man in Shanghai, which has been the city hardest-hit by the disease so far with 11 cases and five deaths, the state-run Shanghai Daily reported today.

Some airlines and schools in the country have been removing chicken from their menus. The Shanghai Education Commission has asked primary schools to stop offering chicken, the newspaper said. Taiwan’s China Airlines has “enhanced sanitation and disinfection measures in cabins,” it also noted.
Chinese airline stocks rebounded overnight on hopes that fallout from the spread of the disease would be limited. Shares in Shanghai-based China Eastern and Guangzhou-based China Southern both gained 3% overnight in trading in New York. Shares in Yum!, the U.S.-based company that has relied on China for much of the growth in its KFC fast-food business in recent years, gained 0.5%. However, Shanghai’s main stock index lost 0.6% yesterday amid worries about the impact on spending.

Eastern Chinese cities have been closing live poultry markets and taking other precautions to limit the spread of the new virus. China was the epicenter of the SARS epidemic in 2003 which killed several hundred people worldwide.

The World Health Organization said yesterday it was in talks with China about sending experts to China to investigate the new H7N9 infections.
The timing of the H7N9 may also be unfortunate for the auto industry. One of the country’s key auto shows this year, the Shanghai InternationalAutomobile Exhibition, is scheduled for April 21-29. U.S. companies with regional operations in the city include GM and Ford.

H7N9 Bird Flu Cases Rise To 28 in China; Shanghai Alone Deaths Reach Five

Four new cases of the deadly bird flu H7N9 were found in China yesterday, increasing the total in the country to 28, the state-run Shanghai Daily Newspaper reported today, citing Reuters. Shanghai has 11 cases, including five deaths, the paper said in an article written by one of its own reporters. A total of nine people have died.
Eastern Chinese cities have been closing live poultry markets and taking other precautions to limit the spread of the new virus. China was the epicenter of the SARS epidemic in 2003 which killed several hundred people worldwide. The Chinese government has been lauded for increased transparency in its handling of the H7N9 spread.
Shanghai Daily, in said in a separate AFP report today, said that chicken sales have been “devastated” around China in the wake of the H7N9 deaths. Shares in Yum!, which has relied on sales of its KFC fried-chicken chain in China for much of its growth in recent years, fell 0.8% in New York overnight.

[h=1]H7N9 Bird Flu Cases Rise To 33, Deaths Reach Nine in China; KFC Sales Slump[/h]

Five new cases of the deadly bird flu H7N9 were found in China yesterday, increasing the total in the country to 33, the state-run Shanghai Daily Newspaper reported today. Nine people have died to date.
The government expressed confidence yesterday that the outbreak was under control. “Overall, the outbreak is at a stage where it can be prevented and contained,” Premier Li Keqiang was quoted as telling state television.
Eastern Chinese cities that have been hardest hit have been closing live poultry markets and taking other precautions to limit the spread of the new virus. China was the epicenter of the SARS epidemic in 2003 which killed several hundred people worldwide.

H7N9 has already been hurting the poultry industry. Shares in Yum!, which runs the big KFC chain, lost more than 2% in afterhours trading after the company said same-store KFC sales in China in March fell 16% amid consumer worries about the flu.
Shanghai has had 15 H7N9 cases so far, more than any other city.
