Extortion, Bribery and Sex Trafficking: The Truth about Hunter Biden
China reported the very first human in the world infected with H10N3, a strain of the avian bird flu. Sounds terrifying, particularly as the world is digging itself out of a devastating global pandemic from yet another virus first detected in residents of China. Fret not, however, “China says not to worry about human-to-human transmission in this case of bird flu,” reports Hot Air.
The 41-year-old man in China developed multiple symptoms, including a fever in April, hospitalized days later, and diagnosed with the bird flu roughly a month after. However, Chinese government officials released a statement saying the risk of large-scale spread is low.
“This infection is an accidental cross-species transmission. The risk of large-scale transmission is low” claims the statement. If nothing else, we have learned variants of viruses can be more deadly or problematic.
However, just last week, China’s version of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention put out a warning about bird flu: “Following recent avian flu outbreaks in Africa and Eurasia, the head of China’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention last week urged stricter surveillance in poultry farms, markets and wild birds.” So, which is it?
Hot Air questions if the timing is a coincidence, and notes “Bird flu has crossed over before, and not just in China. On the surface, there’s no reason to suspect that anything else is afoot, or that new influenza might spread this year, complicating global recovery from COVID-19.”
Hot Air also addresses that given China’s opacity and misdirection on the origins and emergence of COVID-19, it’s tough to put much stock in their explanation of this new month-old case with claims that ‘there’s nothing to see here.’
CBS News gives a look into the history of avian-human transmission:
The NHC said there had been no human cases of H10N3 previously reported in the world.
Several strains of bird flu have been found among animals in China but mass outbreaks in humans are rare.
The last human epidemic of bird flu in China occurred in late 2016 to 2017, with the H7N9 virus.
The H7N9 has infected 1,668 people and claimed 616 lives since 2013, according to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization.
