China Announces First-Ever Human Case Of Rare Bird Flu


China announces first-ever human case of rare bird flu from ‘accidental’ transmission

Some 18 months after COVID-19 began spreading through the world after originating in Wuhan, China recently announced the first human case of a rare form of bird flu.

On June 1, the Associated Press reported that Chinese authorities announced a 41-year-old man had been hospitalized on April 28 and was now in a stable condition. The outbreak occurred in the Jiangsu province, northwest of Shangai, when the man developed a fever some days before he was hospitalized.

An entire month later, May 28, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention finalized genome sequence testing and discovered that the sample was positive for the H10N3 variant of the bird flu virus. The patient is now reportedly recovered and ready to be discharged.

In its statement, Beijing’s National Health Commission (NHC) declared that “this infection is an accidental cross-species transmission. The risk of large-scale transmission is low.”

Authorities ordered medical observation of all the patient’s close contacts as well as contact tracing, but did not detect any cases of transmission, and so far no other cases have been detected globally.

  1. CCP & an obviously contaminated, dirty country need kept at a distance; With their pollution, animal to humans experiments gone awry, all their threats; China has much work to do to improve quality of life rather than taking life indirectly or directly, in my opinion!
    After all the trouble they bring to the world, and sounds like more to come, USA needs to limit our risks, beef up our National Security against CCP doing evil against our populace, IMO! Also protect Allies near CCP's sights, our interest as well! China should clean up their own backyard, their quest for power over-rides logic
    and clashes with our Western Civilization, In MY Opinion!Prayers for the good people in China to overcome communism!

  2. Right on schedule. Covid is both fizzling out and being exposed as a fraud.
