The translation is confusing - are they blaming common cold infections while ruling out avian flu? That wouldn't make sense as colds usually only cause low grade fevers.

"Common cold" is often what we get in translation when the actual intent is something like rhinovirus or adenovirus (which can cause common colds, but can also cause more severe infections).

It is unclear from the article how severe these cases are.

I understand - machine translations are often the only information available, but the ambiguous nature of the end result makes it difficult to accurately ascertain their true meaning sometimes. Anything of this nature in China is most definitely worth watching, especially given their government's poor record on transparency and the fact that those working closely with animals appear to be involved again. I appreciate the OP taking the time to post it.
