Shanghai reports another human case, making the total number of confirmed infections for China 78.

In Beijing the seven years old girl who was sick, has been released from the hospital, considered recovered. Her H7N9 tests are now negative.

A four years old boy is still in quarantine, in Beijing.  He has no symptoms but tested positive for H7N9, and is considered a carrier.

A child in Shanghai was sick, but recovered, as well as a young adult.  So far it looks like the younger you are the better your chances of recovery.  Most older people who’re sick are still in the hospital.

In Taiwan, health officials have been reporting an increase in ‘suspected’ cases.  But so far, everyone has tested negative.
