BLOG 10: BEJING
A new
factor has been discovered about the bird flu H7N9 that showed up in China
during the winter. A four-year-old boy who displayed no symptoms is adding to
the unknowns about the latest outbreak that caused 63 confirmed cases and about
14 deaths. The boy tested positive for
the H7N virus and is considered carriers of the strain and has been placed
under observation to see if he develops symptoms. The boy was found in contact
with a seven year old girl who was confirmed as Beijing’s first case of the
H7N9. A neighbor of the boys bought chicken from the girl’s family. This is
making the virus even more difficult to detect but it could also mean that
cases with mild or no symptoms do not get seriously ill and recover much more
quickly making the virus less deadly than it appears.
The boy’s
case puts another spin to the already weird and indifferent new bird flu. The bird flu originally couldn’t be
transferred between bird and human but quickly the tables changed and humans
began getting the virus now humans we have seen that humans can carry the
virus. This makes the virus even harder to keep up with. This virus is much different than any seen
before because of how hard it is to trace.
However it is reassuring to know that health specialist are on constant
research of the new strain and that some are getting lighter strains of the
virus. Because of these new factors the virus could be less deadly than the
world is imagining and all we can do is hope! People in Beijing are beginning
to wear facemask because of the uncertainty of how they could catch this flu.
People are working around the clock to keep the spread of the H7N9 from heavily
populated areas where it could spread like wildflowers!
