What may prove to be the first case of the H10N3 strain of bird flu passing to a human has been detected in China, reports said Tuesday, as local health authorities assured the world the risk of large-scale spread is “low.”
AP reports a man in eastern China has contracted the strain, with the 41-year-old in Jiangsu province, northwest of Shanghai, hospitalized April 28. He remains in a stable condition, the National Health Commission (NHC) said on its website, and his close contacts had reported no “abnormalities.”
No human case of H10N3 has been reported elsewhere, the commission said.
“This infection is an accidental cross-species transmission,” its statement said. “The risk of large-scale transmission is low.”
H10N3 is a less severe strain of the virus in poultry.
The most well-known avian flu strain, H5N1, has a 60 percent mortality rate, but the U.S. has yet to report any infections among people, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
While many different strains of avian influenza are currently in China, there have been no significant numbers of human infections since the H7N9 strain killed about 300 people from 2016-2017, Reuters reported.
No other cases of human infection with H10N3 were previously noted around the globe, the NHC said, with the assurance coming as China continues to be criticized over its initial response to the coronavirus pandemic that began in Wuhan in late 2019 before sweeping the globe.

Bird flu in china is like snow in winter in the US.
Hmmm... Where was Fauci when this happened?
Better get ahead of this one. Shut off all travel and commerce with China. NOW. If not for the bird flu, then for one of the many other reasons.
I say we take off and nuke them from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Why does everything foul come out of China

This smells like the CHICOMS are trying to ramp up the fear knowing the foolish West will harm themselves with more lockdown idiocy.
I remember an avian flu scare back in the 70’s. It amounted to nothing then and so will this, It’s just one more attempt at feeding the sheeples fear because when people are frightened they are far easier to control.
Sure it is. Sure it is.
.....and we all know how well that worked out before.
Let’s see how biden treats this. Are they going to try to cause panic.
I find it interesting that they have increased the allotted number of births to three per family. You think they know something?
Well, coronavirus was such a raging success for Dems/media, might we expect them (Dems/media) to start pushing another little “pandemic” hoax bubbling up out of China?
Why, who wooda thunkit?
More masks and another vaccine needed!
More masks and another vaccine needed!
Was this reported case anywhere near a bioweapons laboratory?
Always China...
