A virus needs to show five key mutations to be extremely transmissible (one, for example, confers the ability to “stick” in the upper respiratory tract); H7N9 possesses two of them. Experiments with ferrets should reveal over the next fortnight whether it could take those last three steps towards pandemic potential in mammals.

The new H7N9 bird flu virus can be transmitted between mammals not only via direct contact but also in airborne droplets, and may be capable of spreading from person to person, Chinese and American researchers have found.

Saudi Arabia lamented Thursday that foreign drug companies had patented the new SARS-like novel coronavirus that has killed 22 people worldwide in less than a year, slowing down the diagnosis process considerably.

One of Britain's leading scientists has hit out at Chinese researchers who created new strains of a killer flu virus in a bid to develop vaccines.
They claim the 'hybrid' flu, which mixes bird flu virus with human flu, could escape the lab and lead to a global health crisis pandemic killing millions of people.
It comes amid rising fears of a flu epidemic as China struggles to contain an outbreak of the virus.

At solar max we have pandemics. Viruses seem to mutate rapidly during the solar max period. Several viruses mutating.........well....let's hope they don't get together and start a 'party'.

The head of the United Nations health agency has sounded the alarm over novel coronavirus, and stressed the need for countries to work together to adequately address the threat posed by the rare illness.
“The novel coronavirus is not a problem that any single affected country can keep to itself or manage all by itself. The novel coronavirus is a threat to the entire world,” said Margaret Chan, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO).

Laboratory tests have revealed resistance in H7N9 bird flu patients to the only available treatment,
"The apparent ease with which antiviral resistance emerges in H7N9 viruses is concerning,"

The world's only known working anti-viral flu drug Tamiflu has been rendered ineffective against the bird-flu strain H7N9 virus. Essentially, the virus has mutated. It won't be long before global pandemonium erupts unless a new effective drug is created and immediately made available to humans.

The ongoing spread of H7N9 avian flu across Asia could be much more serious than the mainstream media is currently leading on, as some reports now suggest that the actual number of infections and deaths may be at least double what is being reported.
Researchers from the University of Hong Kong (UHK) say there could already be as many as 120 adults with H7N9 that are flying under the radar due to milder infections that have not yet been detected.
