"Mutated" Bird Flu Kills 19, Infects 96 In 2014 Already; China Says Epidemic Risk Unchanged
The H7N9 mutation of the bird flu virus is "more prone to human infection" than the H5N1 virus, with the fatality rate reaching 20-30%. China's National Influenza Center (CNIC) has reported athat H7N9 has killed 19 in China this year already and the total number of infections has reached 96. Although , as always, details are few and far between, CNIC's Shu Yuelong states that "the risk assessment of H7N9 epidemic outbreak is unchanged," despite the admission that the virus is more difficult to prevent as there is no obvious symptom for H7N9 infected poultry. South Korea has expanded a poultry cull on fears of contagion.
Via Xinhua,
H7N9 bird flu has killed 19 in China this year already, and the total number of human infections has reached 96, according to the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Shu Yuelong, director of the Chinese National Influenza Center (CNIC), said on Monday that a large-scale H7N9 epidemic is unlikely during the Spring Festival holiday, as no H7N9 virus mutation that could affect public health has been identified so far.
"There is no evidence of constant inter-human transmission, and the risk assessment of H7N9 epidemic outbreak is unchanged," said Shu.
Shu reiterated that H7N9 is more prone to human infection than H5N1, with H7N9 case fatality rate reaching 20 to 30 percent.
The virus is more difficult to be prevented as there is no obvious symptom for H7N9 infected poultry, and at present the CNIC is not able to precisely predict the direction of the mutation of the H7N9 virus.
"We will continue to strengthen monitoring and carry out research," said Shu.
On Sunday, the National Health and Family Planning Commission issued a paper on H7N9 diagnosis and treatment, noting that early report, diagnosis and treatment are the best ways to prevent and control the virus.
And South Korea is slaughtering 1.4 million farm birds...
South Korea is expanding a poultry cull in a bid to contain the spread of bird flu that has been found on an increasing number of farms around the country and in migratory birds.
The country's agriculture ministry said the H5N8 strain of bird flu had been detected on six poultry farms and that there had been 13 cases in migratory birds since the first outbreak earlier this month.
No human infection has been reported, while the ministry is looking into four additional reports from poultry farms and more than 50 other suspected cases in migratory birds, it said in a statement on Monday.
...
South Korea will slaughter over 1.4 million farm birds, including 644,000 that have already been killed, according to the ministry. That would be under 1 percent of the country's total 160 million poultry population.
The first case of H5N8 bird flu was found on January 17 at a duck farm in the southwestern province of North Jeolla, about 300 km (186 miles) from Seoul.

Here in America, we're so stupid people are lining up to intentionally get the flu
http://www.sciencedaily.com/videos/653260.htm
I think.i.had bird flu this weekend ....thought that was it gonna die.
This type of event is exactly why we need a global government with strong legislative and executive powers over the nation states. How are we going to manage a global disaster of these proportions when we can't even pass a global tax on carbon emissions? I detailed the preperations that every government should be making in anticipation of a global disaster in my article at the Accredited Times, "Are We Equipped for a State of Emergency?". If I had to answer that questions today, I'd sadly have to say that we are far from prepared. Movies like "World War Z" indicate the logistical challenges that will be required by our governments in order to manage a disaster of this scale. We urgently need a set of global emergency protocols that allow us to declare a state of global martial law and swiftly escort people to designated safety camps during such an event. I fear that if we don't act soon, it may be too late, and the world may be caught unprepared in an event that could change the course of history.

Fascinating. $3K may be quite the incentive for any patsy who has been unemployed for any length of time. Of course, a suspicious person might wonder what ELSE is being studied.
I like the idea of safety camps, but I was thinking, maybe call them "Hope Zones"?
Promise Zones sounds more tame.
How about "Freedom Incubator"?
+1 that was fucking funny.

Just remember Doc... when god curses you, he answers your prayers.
Well played, sir. I'm smiling under my surgical mask.
Remember, airborne viruses are small enough to easily penetrate a surgical mask. You'll need something with better filtration properties.
So what you are saying is, doctors wear those mask simply so we can't see their facial expressions when the fuck up, right? I knew it!
Yeah cuz global martial law is a really great idea....moron!
Sounds like you should be getting to it, rather than jaw boning about it. You don't have much time left.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha
Read your accredited times piece. Truly idiotic, or perhaps very good satire. Leaning toward idiotic.
You're an 'acredited writer' with a piece of dong artilce such as the one you referenced? Are you kidding me? This is my favorite piece of dong part of the article:
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Restrictions on Firearms
The Bush administration had the foresight to identify the need for strict gun control during hurricane Katrina. Firearms may be a danger we can afford during times of peace, but in a state of chaos the risk of armed robberies and assaults is exacerbated by the presence of dangerous firearms. Politicians are slowly introducing sensible gun control laws to curb our country’s primitive gun loving culture. But in the meantime we need to pass legislation that authorizes heavy firearm restrictions during states of emergency.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
How do you still not comprehend that the assailants in Katrina were CRIMINALS, and by taking away our firearms you are simply making perfectly good CITIZENS more vulnerable and less able to protect ourselves? Oh wait, that's what you want, isn't it. You must have your head stuffed incredibly far up Bloomberg's ass. By the way, what's your million dollar bonus worth in 1950 dollars?
Crap. Is MDB and that website pure satire? If it is, then it takes on a whole other shade and he is great at baiting the unexpected. Otherwise, if he honestly believes what he writes then he's still a disinformant.
Just my opinion, but whether MDB believes it, or not, is immaterial -- he's a propagandist. Belief is optional.
I had the respiratory flu two weeks ago. Only went to the doc cause I felt like I had bronchitis. I didn't. I had to listen to him lecture me to the importance of getting a flu shot which I didn't and won't. Those fuckers are really trained to push that shit. He wouldn't shut up about it.
they push it because they are taught that it is effective. I think studies (which may/may not be flawed) indicate 60% effectiveness and that would assume there is no mutation in the strain.
I think a better idea might be to minimize any cytokine storm rather than focus on prevention. It might be to someone's benefit to actually suffer through the flu even though it sounds crazy to do so.
"killed 19 in China" means a mortality rate of zero.
I`ll get me some birds before prices are up in spring right
now !
I thought the mortality rate was about 60% (from the CDC) - that's why it's an issue, if it starts spreading like the flu can. Not zombie apocalypse bad, but a mess.
It's more like 30% - 40%, and then only based on a biased sample of the most sick patient. There are probably lots of people getting the virus that only get a mild illness. These viruses lose their potentcy when they evolve the ability to efficiently transmit from person to person. That said, it needs to be remembered that you don't need these high ebola-like mortality rates to cause a global pandemic. The H1N1 virus that caused the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 had a mortality rate of 2 - 10% depending on whose research you look at. A 50% infection rate (typical for flu season) and a 5% mortality rate on a 7 billion global population is 175 million people. Imagine the 15 or 20 largest cities being emptied in the span of a couple months.
"... will slaughter over 1.4 million farm birds, including 644,000 that have already been killed, according to the ministry". So 644,000 have risen from the dead? God help us....

Tyler, this guy is totally lacking in appreciation for bad puns, which makes him an anti-Peabody and Shermanist. Please ban everything retroactively.
Be optimistic, let's hope the culling begins in earnest soon.

7 Billion people and we haven't had a good population culling disease for quite a while. If we get a virulent and deadly disease, it'll be interesting times with globalization.
Seems like a lot of waste for an event that isn't even a statistical blip. Here in the U.S.S.A 36,000 people die a year from influenza, but you don't see them dialing up the fear nob. It sounds more like a scare tactic in order for big pharma to make money to me.
Mother Nature is granting a warning.
She has seen to many.
No worries, she'll take care of her problem.
She ALWAYS does.
mother nature? is that what the umbrella corp's bio-warfare labs are calling themselves these days?
Mother nature really has nothing to do with it. They are made made, though not in the insidious way the Conspiracy Corp would have you believe. The main animal reservior for all these flu viruses is chickens and ducks. The main vector for the human transmitable variants is pigs. Birds --> Pigs --> People. Where there no domesticated poultry or pigs, influenza would be an extraordinarly rare disease in humans.
Pump up the volume! (as in more units sold)
PLAY LOUD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGPhUr-T6UM
I look at these statistics all the time. The flu probaby kills more but in cases where a person has a compromised immune system they can die of pneumnia, kidney failure, cardiac arest, etc. so the death isn't listed as flu as the cause.
One of the things that struck me was that flu deaths in the US are declining, even if it is only slowly. This is interesting since our populatio is aging, It should be slowly going up.
I do not get flu shots. The last round available to the public had three strains in the same injection. When I see these "outbreaks" (people should understand what health care means ina 3rd world country) I don't give it a lot of weight.
When someone you know loses their health from one of those "safe" injections, it will change your thinking about EVER getting the needle.
The older population, if otherwise healthy, are more resistant to flu having been exposed to so many different types over their lifetime.
That is, if they didn't get vaccinations, but instead, actually got the flu.
There are flus and then there are flus - this one (if it's like H5N1) turns your lungs to soup (or more accurately causes your own immune system to turn your lungs to soup). If it mutates to efficient human to human transfer we are in deep trouble.
I hope the State can protect us from this!

U want rice or noodles with your pandemic ?

Speaking of mutated bird viruses...
Last year they got the wrong memo...they thought it was pig flu and they killed all those pigs....now they are killing chickens....seems like they got it right..but you can bet they will sell those chickens to someone....probably fed them to the pigs...its a visious circle
Quit nitpicking and think of all the economic growth that Asia is creating...

The naming conventions alone are an in-your-face insult.
Why don't more people see it?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henny_Penny
A whole 96 infected! OMG! This has actually killed more people than the dreaded ARCTIC VORTEX.
More fucking sensationalism, keeping the drinking their cocoa with both hands crew on the edge of their couches between episodes of dancin with the Fattashians.
Wake me up when a million have dropped dead.
Ya know, vortexes really suck.
Short KFC.
the virus is more difficult to prevent as there is no obvious symptom for H7N9 infected poultry
Take twelve peyote buttons. They'll tell you what's wrong with them.
Anyhow, not to worry, depleated immune systems from the smog are what's causing people that live in China to get the bird flu.
ummmm....buy buy buy?
That would be under 1 percent of the country's total 160 million poultry population.
No more than 10-20 millionkilled.

Evolution is at work, it is possible this will die out, or it is possible the right mutation turns it into a deadly wildfire. Only fate and time will tell. I for one hope we luck out, I don't fancy getting a deadly flu virus. The normal flu is bad enough!
These "mortality rates" are in all likelyhood completely exagerated. There are probably thousands of sub-clinical cases that are not reported.
But a 20% mortality rate sure gets everybody exited, doesn't it?
Epidemic definition: affecting or tending to affect a disproportionately large number of individuals within a population, community, or region at the same time
96 infections / 1.3 billion Chinese = .00000007%
We now have the poster child example for statistically insignificant.
Have the same issue here in N.Texas. Fear language and push those vaccines. I'm trying to remember when the flu vaccine craze started, about 5 years ago or so I guess. Someone is making a lot of money pushing it or there really is something in these vaccines TPTB want people exposed to.

The Alex Jones in me says that the elite might try to use this on us to cull the herd. The voice of sanity in me says that nobody could be that stupid as you don't know when that 30% kill rate might mutate into an 98% one.
