If legitimate doubts should arise after reading recent human H7N9 cases detection figures in China, it may be useful to re-read an editorial from Ifeng published earlier about the influence of poultry industry in local governments: http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=218207

It is possible that live poultry markets closures or activity limitations may have slowed the reproduction of new human cases, but it is also possible some degree of concealing, that may hurt confidence both locally and internationally.

I hope to be wrong. gm
