   10 new cases of H7N9 reported January 24th, including Beijing.
Our morning round up of H7N9 case adds 10 new cases, although it is possible we’ll hear of additional cases later in the day. In addition to fresh reports Zhejiang and Guangdong provinces – both of which have reported multiple cases over the past few weeks – today Beijing announces their first case since May of last year.

Next stop is Zhejiang Province, which has seen (by far) the most reported infections from the H7N9 virus. In just the past 24 hours the decision has been made to close some of the live markets – the suspected source of many infections – in the urban areas of Hangzhou (see Xinhua report Hangzhou, Shanghai to halt live poultry trading) after 15 consecutive days of reporting new cases.

	Wow, if you were to graph this it would be slowly getting closer to vertical with every passing day. And with so many patients being admitted in serious or critical condition, I'm sure the CFR will begin to rise as respirator availability becomes an issue.

	http://usa.chinadaily.com.cn/2014-01/24/content_17257529.htm BEIJING - Ten human H7N9 bird flu cases were newly reported in China on Friday, including one in Beijing, one in Guangdong province, one in Fujian province and seven in Zhejiang province, forcing cities in Zhejiang to close their live poultry markets. In the first case reported in the city this year, a man in Beijing was confirmed to have contracted H7N9 on Thursday night, according to the Chinese capital's disease control and prevention center. He is receiving treatment at Ditan Hospital. The center said the patient had bought pigeons and ate them before being admitted to the hospital. The health and family planning committee of south China's Guangdong Province likewise reported on Friday that a 34-year-old woman in Shenzhen City had contracted the virus. She is also in a critical condition. The health authorities in Guangdong's neighboring province of Fujian also announced that a 46-year-old female villager in Hui'an county was Friday confirmed to have been sicken by the H7N9 virus, bringing the total infections in the province to eight. The patient is under treatment at a local hospital and is in a critical condition. In east China's Zhejiang Province, seven human H7N9 cases were reported on Friday, bringing the total number of such cases to 44 in the province. All the newly reported cases, aged from 23 to 82, are in critical conditions, according to the provincial health authorities. To limit spreading of the virus, the Zhejiang provincial capital of Hangzhou called a halt to live poultry trading in urban areas on Friday.
