Bird Flu Reaches Chinese Capital

Revelation 6:7,8 NCV When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!"8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse. Its rider was named death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill people by war, by starvation, by disease, and by the wild animals of the earth.

China’s capital has now reported its first official case of H7N9 bird flu.

A seven-year-old girl in the capital has been confirmed as having the virus. An additional 11 new cases have also been reported to the World Health Organization. The WHO has also confirmed two more deaths.

The WHO and Chinese officials continue to deny that the virus can be transmitted from person-to-person holding to their belief the virus is only transmitted through infected poultry. Scientists have said it’s likely that other cases will pop up in towns around the nation that seem to be unconnected to the confirmed cases.

Most of the new cases were around Shanghai, where the virus was first discovered two months ago. The two deaths were also in Shanghai.
