Hospitalized April 28, during a pandemic, and just publicizing now? Sure, I believe they are being transparent about everything. /S |

Accept responsibility for your choices and actions. Failure to choose is in itself a choice for non-action.

The patient, a 41-year-old male living in Zhenjiang City, is currently in stable condition and meets discharge standards. Health authorities said the case was a sporadic virus transmission from poultry to human, and the risk of causing a pandemic was extremely low.

The NHC claimed that human H10N3 transmission has not been reported elsewhere in China.[2] Very likely it did take a month testing to find out what it was...H5/H7 birdflu's are seen as high risk... |

I also agree that they can't be trusted so how can we know or find out there reality of this human case and its transmissability? |

Sometimes China makes North Korea (their friends and allies) look open and transparent. If there is a Mandarin translation of the word honest, the government either does not know it, or think it means: "sucker!" I'm with Roni. There are probably thousands of cases, 'else why would they admit anything? |

DJ-One should not trust any government just by its words/claims...[url]https://www.deseret.com/u-s-world/2021/6/1/22463006/china-first-h10n3-bird-flu-transmission-humans-sick[/url] or https://www.deseret.com/u-s-world/2021/6/1/22463006/china-first-h10n3-bird-flu-transmission-humans-sick ; The World Health Organization says the transmission of avian influenzas to humans are rare and typically related to “direct or indirect contact with infected live or dead poultry.” DJ "Wet markets" [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_market[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_market ; " A wet market (also called a public market[4] or a traditional market[5]) is a marketplace selling fresh meat, fish, produce, and other perishable goods as distinguished from "dry markets" that sell durable goods such as fabric and electronics.[9] These include a wide variety of markets, such as farmers' markets, fish markets, and wildlife markets.[13] Not all wet markets sell live animals,[16] but the term wet market is sometimes used to signify a live animal market in which vendors slaughter animals upon customer purchase,[20] such as is done with poultry in Hong Kong.[21] Wet markets are common in many parts of the world,[25] notably in China, Southeast Asia, and South Asia. They often play critical roles in urban food security due to factors of pricing, freshness of food, social interaction, and local cultures.[26] Most wet markets do not trade in wild or exotic animals,[31] but those that do have been linked to outbreaks of zoonotic diseases including COVID-19, H5N1 avian flu, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and monkeypox.[35] Several countries have banned wet markets from holding wildlife.[32][36] Media reports that fail to distinguish between all wet markets and those with live animals or wildlife, as well as insinuations of fostering wildlife smuggling, have been blamed for fueling Sinophobia related to the COVID-19 pandemic.[39] "are a big problem. Also China farms are "not the best in bio-security" .... [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avian_influenza#Subtypes[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avian_influenza#Subtypes may give more info on how often H10-N3 combinations are found...not very often. There is a H10-N8 from Italy...I do not believe there is widespread H10-N3 in China...or if there is it should be seen as Highly Pathogenetic Avian Influenza... The bigger danger in general may be a lack of testing, sequencing in many countries. Cover-up may be limited-and not only a problem in China.. |

I'm with Techno on this one. When I heard about it, my very first thought was why on earth would they bother to report this 5 weeks after the event if it's just an isolated case and the guy is recovering well in hospital? There must be more behind it. Perhaps there is evidence of human to human transmission. Who knows? I guess it's another case of time will tell...... |

Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesn’t accord with the facts.

I don't trust any government. However I trust China even less than all the others. China has a history of covering up outbreaks until it becomes impossible to continue to do so. They even imprison doctors who speak out. SARS1 and SARS2 both fell into this information black hole. Luckily, SARS1 was contained, despite the bad start. Then SARS2 arrived and spread too much before they admitted it (getting worse at disclosure, not better). They said lessons had been learned after SARS1, but SARS2 disproved that claim. Human cases of bird flu are expected to follow the same reporting pattern. KiwiMum is right again, I can't think of any reason to expect a change. |
