New main streamer news media reports say a new study says H7N9 is resistant to tamiflu. No shit Sherlock, I’ve been reporting that for weeks now (go over my past H7N9 updates)!
In China, the city of Beijing reports its second case of H7N9 human infection. A six years old boy got sick, went to hospital where blood samples were taken. He was allowed to go home and return to school. It was later confirmed he has H7N9. However, health officials say he has not shown any symptoms since being sent home.
Beijing health officials have ordered that H7N9 must be tested for in all suspected flu cases, and must be reported to officials.
Chinese news media reporting another person has died from H7N9. China’s National Health and Family Planning Commission says 131 people have been infected, with 36 of them dying (by my count it’s 133 including the case in Taiwan, and 37 deaths).
