It's just past midnight on Sunday morning in China, after an eventful Saturday. Even the Hong Kong government is having trouble keeping up with the number of cases, with one report on 5 cases and this Saturday-night post updating it: 6 Mainland H7N9 cases reported. Excerpt: 
The Centre for Health Protection has learned from the National Health & Family Planning Commission today of one human case of Influenza A (H7N9) in Beijing, two in Jiangsu, one in Shanghai and two in Zhejiang.   
The Beijing case involves a seven-year-old girl who is currently receiving treatment in hospital and is stable. Her two close contacts have no symptoms.   
The cases in Jiangsu involve a 72-year-old man and a 77-year-old woman. They are receiving treatment in hospital and are critical. Their 16 close contacts have no symptoms.   
The Shanghai case involves a 56-year-old man whose wife was earlier confirmed to have the illness.   
The two cases in Zhejiang involve two men aged 38 and 65. Both are in critical condition.
