The number of human infections in China is now at 77, a result of 14 more people testing positive in the past 24 hours.  16 people now dead.

Two people died in Shanghai.  The UN’s World Health Organization is sending medical researchers to China, to help study the new killer virus.

Health officials are even disinfecting the homes of people who’ve tested positive.

Ministry of Agriculture officials say H7N9 was detected in one pigeon sample from Jiangsu Province, and four chicken samples from Zhejiang Province.  Reports say the pigeon is the first wild bird to test positive.  Last week pigeons tested positive in Shanghai, but they were domesticated.
