Dr. Ian Mackay’s most recent `SNAPDATE’ of H7N9 cases

 


# 8207

 

As the chart above, from Ian Mackay’s Virology Down Under blog clearly indicates, the number of H7N9 cases reported out of Zhejiang province is roughly double that of the second place finisher – Shanghai – and it continues to climb like a homesick angel.

 

For the 6th day running, Zhejiang Province is reporting another 3 H7N9 cases today, further extending their less-than-desirable lead.
