Avian Bird Flu, Possible Mutation

In China, a father and son contracted the avian bird flu and the father died soon after his son. Health officials are putting an emphasis on trying to find a mutation in the strain, since humans are already able to contract the disease, they are trying to make sure if the mutation will allow the virus strain to contract more easily between person to person, like the common cold, but with deadlier symptoms. China being the lead industry in poultry, was hit hardest when the avian bird flu pandemic hit their farms, and millions of birds have died and along with 27 human deaths
