15:00 poultry markets may reopen
16:00 Heilman concerned about H7N9--> US-poultry
17:50 Osterhaus , wild birds --> Europe, seasonal
19:20 what preparations, Heilman antivirals, including phase3
some vaccine for testing

Re: VB: Update on influenza H7N9 virus at ASM in Denver
now came out the paper co-authored by Webster about
transmissibility of H7N9 in ferrets
I would assume that when Webster makes such a strong statement
about H9N2 as in the video above, then he has some similar (secret)
data about H9N2 to support thisI'm interested in expert panflu damage estimates
