Mexico hides threat from #H7N3 #BIRDFLU

Mexico has spent a lot of time, telling me that their H7N3 Outbreak is
 1-Under control
 2-It will not effect exports
3-Humans can't catch it
 4-Eat all chicken and products from them without worry



 The Ministry of Health insisted that citizenship should be quiet, because the strain of the H7N3 virus is only transmitted between animals, but not to humans. http://www.oem.com.mx/elsoldemexico/notas/n2605916.htm

State of Puebla called the people to be calm, because this strain is spread only among animals and fails to humans.

I beg to differ

The appearance of human infections caused by avian influenza A H7 subtype viruses underscores their pandemic potential and the need to develop vaccines to protect humans from viruses of this subtype
