It is a new type of bird flu. Influenza A H7 viruses mainly affectbirds but sometimes they can also affect humans. Most people infected with H7N9 virus look like they had a common flu. They had a fever, a cough and shortness of breath. Some had bad pneumonia. This March, H7N9 virus hit Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Up until April 11th, the number of people infected had reached 35. Nine of these people died.
But don’t be afraid , some cases are curable. A 4-year-old boy in Shanghai and a 67-year-old man in Hangzhou got the virus, and they are getting better. Besides, it's not easy to be infected by the H7N9 virus.
