Just a Reminder of What is on the Horizon

Influenza A H7N9 (Newfangled Bird Flu)

The WHO confirmed two additional cases of high path avian influenza H7N9 in China the other day, one of which was fatal.  While the situation is under control, it is definitely worth watching!  As of now, H7N9 principally requires contact with infected birds, though limited human-to-human transmission has been reported.  The sky is not falling, but keep an eye on this.
