China reporting five new cases, two more people dead! A total of 14 cases of a new deadly H7N9 since the end of March, five deaths.
The latest cases are in Zhejiang Province and Shanghai. One man who died worked with poultry. Four of the five deaths took place in Shanghai.
The new flu is not picky about your age. Most sick people are in their 20s to 40s, but one man who died was in his 80s. One of the new cases is a four years old girl.
China’s Ministry of Agriculture say they’ve found the new strain of H7N9 in pigeons in Songjiang District of Shanghai.
