Via Hangzhou Network: Zhejiang Province, three new cases of human infection of bird flu H7N9. "Moumou" means, I think, "name not given." The Google translation:
According to the Zhejiang Provincial Health and Family Planning Commission website news, the Zhejiang Provincial Health and Family Planning Commission January 19 briefing, the province today added three cases of human infection with the H7N9 avian influenza.
Patient 1: Moumou, male, 53 years old, Shaoxing Zhuji people. January 18 confirmed human cases of avian influenza H7N9 infection. Hangzhou is now a hospital for treatment for severe.
Patient 2: Shao Moumou, male, 54 years old, Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou people. January 18 confirmed human cases of avian influenza H7N9 infection. Hangzhou is now a hospital, was critical.
Patient 3: Moumou, male, 61 years old, Binjiang District, Hangzhou people. January 19 confirmed human cases of avian influenza H7N9 infection. Hangzhou is now a hospital for treatment for severe.
I know China deserves praise for its general transparency about H7N9, but it's still a tightly defined transparency. We rarely hear about the progress of cases; someone gets sick, and we won't learn anything else unless they die. Recovered cases usually go home without publicity, and we never know how many cases are under treatment at a given time. Nor do we see much commentary on the disease, apart from boilerplate on how the local authorities are working hard and how everyone should really cook the daylights out of their chicken.
