If I understand this report, a family living across the street from the Yao family has a four-year-old boy who has tested positive for H7N9 but is showing no clinical symptoms. He was tested with a lot of other poultry dealers' family members. If he's asymptomatic, that's probably a bigger story than if he's sick.

Here is the government of Beijing translation. It appears a small child who is asymptomatic has tested positive for H7N9. Apparently his parents work in the poultry industry and may be a neighbor of the 7 year old who is in a Beijing hospital improving:
