China has recorded its first human infection with the H3N8 strain of bird flu.

According to a statement issued by the National Health Commission on Tuesday, the variant was found in a four-year-old boy who had a fever and other symptoms on April 5

The statement added that the child had been in contact with chickens raised at his home. The health authority also said that the risk of its spread among humans is low.

NDTV reports: H3N8 is known to have been circulating since 2002 after first emerging in North American waterfowl. It is known to infect horses, dogs and seals, but has not previously been detected in humans.

China’s National Health Commission on Tuesday said a four-year-old boy living in central Henan province tested positive for the strain after being hospitalised earlier this month with a fever and other symptoms.

The boy’s family raised chickens at home and lived in an area populated by wild ducks, the NHC said in a statement.

The boy was infected directly by birds and the strain was not found to have “the ability to effectively infect humans”, the commission said.

It added that tests of the boy’s close human contacts found “no abnormalities”.

The NHC said the boy’s case was a “one-off cross-species transmission, and the risk of large-scale transmission is low”.

It warned the public to nevertheless stay away from dead or sick birds and seek immediate treatment for fever or respiratory symptoms.

  1. Oh pigs arse Some crooked lab paid generously manufactured the result. I’d like to have the kid whisked out of there and a sample taken and sent to some lab which had zero clue as to who it came from and get another opinion.

  2. Another excuse to kill off a bunch of chickens and damage the already taxed food supply. All by design to help the psychopaths in charge reduce the global population. I guess they failed with Covid so now comes famine.

    • My virologist/immunologist husband agrees with you. He notes they keep coming out of China, which means they
      keep mutating it so that it MIGHT actually be dangerous one day – although it seems Bill Gates is the one who
      keeps mutating it and he’s not a scientist so there’s that. None of his “inventions” ever seem to work.

  3. Yeah, right. More lies & fear from the cabal. If true, use IV form of Vit. C or ozone therapy; it kills all that crap, including rabies.
