WHO report on Chinese H7N9 cases notes possible human-to-human spread in cluster
After five human cases of avian influenza A (H7N9) appeared in China earlier this month, the World Health Organization (WHO) has said that limited human-to-human transmission cannot be ruled out for some that are part of a family cluster. Three of the five recent cases in humans appear to be in a cluster, the WHO said today in a statement. Two of the five cases had direct exposure to poultry, but there were no reports of direct exposure in the other three cases. The WHO said the three patients with no exposure to poultry were family members. "Investigations are on-going, at this stage human-to human-transmission cannot be ruled out, however to date no further transmission has been reported," the WHO said in a statement today. According to Hong Kong's Centre for Health Protection (CHP), China's agriculture ministry reported positive poultry market samples from 10 of China's provinces between January 2015 and May 2016. H7N9 is now enzootic on China’s mainland. The five cases raise the global H7N9 cases to 807, according to ***********, an infectious disease news message board. http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2016/08/avian-flu-scan-aug-17-2016 http://www.who.int/csr/don/07-august-2016-ah7n9-china/en/ |

we have to expect this - the clusters will be blind - they will get longer and more frequent
and when they get to 100 people long - shut the gates - the pandemic will start withing days |
