New Bird Flu Strain Kills Two

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.

Two men in Shanghai, China have died after contracting a new strain of bird flu.

The H7N9 strain has reportedly never been found in humans.

A woman has also contracted the virus and remains in critical condition. Doctors are dumbfounded as to how the three contracted the virus as they had no contact between them prior to their illnesses. The Chinese National Health and Family Planning Commission said the three became ill with coughs and fevers before developing pneumonia.

There is no vaccine against H7N9.

The World Health Organization states that most avian flu viruses to not infect humans and that most of the H5N1 cases around the world can be attributed to infected poultry.
