New Flu Virus in China Worries and Confuses
Jon Cohen*
A novel bird flu virus, designated H7N9, has infected three humans in China, killing two of them. While the Chinese government has won praise for aggressively pursuing this outbreak and openly discussing its findings, how the confirmed cases became infected is a mystery. Still, many researchers are guardedly optimistic: There is no persuasive evidence that the virus spreads between people, an ability it would need to set off the next flu pandemic.
