	I still think China is somewhat playing games. The boy has mild symptoms, which means they're doing routine checks on people as it's probably widespread. Of course China is most likely withholding info on a lot of cases and managed to announce a mild case. They're also not monitoring close contacts of the infected, unless the boy was a close contact of another unreported infection and was discovered through routine checking/monitoring. China's lack of transparency is concerning. It's good that the boy is receiving treatment, but too bad China will never disclose what the treatment is that they're using. Perhaps officials don't want the public to know that h7 is resistant to antivirals, but who knows, as China will never inform the public what treatment was ever used and if antivirals are even effective. An enormous lack of transparency with China, despite Chan's praises. Countries should be on the watch for severe flu cases popping up right now.

	The virus having made it's way to Guandong is the most worrying development for me, as well as the possibility that asymptomatic cases are more widespread than the authorities are admitting. It's the region that spawned SARS, H5N1, 1957 Asian Flu and 1968 Hong Kong Flu, and if there's anywhere in the world where conditions are perfect for H7N9 to reassort it's way to a pandemic form, it's in Guandong Province under China's cloak of secrecy. The region's farms and especially it's wet markets provide ideal breeding grounds for novel viruses, and having a major international travel hub in neighboring Hong Kong gives a pandemic strain the perfect springboard to spread with little or no warning. The raw materials are unfortunately now in the world's most successful pandemic virus factory

	It is well known that radiation can cause mutations in bacteria and viruses. Andrei Sakharov, the famous Russian physicist, described in his 1992 Memoirs that even at low levels radiation could increase mutations of bacteria and viruses.
