With case reports, statements, and studies on the H7N9 virus coming out several times each day, it is easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information coming over the transom.
Luckily for us, Lisa Schnirring at CIDRAP News did her usual terrific job last night, and has pulled together the important developments of the past couple of days and put it all into one report called:
H7N9 cases in China surge past 200

The number of new infections in China’s H7N9 outbreak continues a steep ascent, with 23 more cases reported over the past 4 days, along with four deaths, one of them in a health worker at a Shanghai hospital.
The daily number of new H7N9 cases equals the pace of disease activity seen during the peak of the outbreak last spring. The disease is thought to be spreading from poultry to people in settings such as live markets, and the surge of new cases comes at a time of increased demand for poultry ahead of China's Lunar New Year celebrations later this month.
Highly Recommended.
