Taiwan's Centers for Disease Control says the risks and threats of a bird flu pandemic
are rising... with the second reported human case of H7N9 avian influenza.
Last month... an 86-year-old mainland Chinese tourist was hospitalized two days after entering
the country... and is still receiving treatment in Taiwan.
This follows Taiwan's first case back in April... when a 53-year-old man fell ill from the virus
after visiting mainland China. The H7N9 bug caused a stir in March of 2013
when Chinese officials partially shut down the poultry industry after it was discovered
that humans could be infected by the strain.
