China - 9.25% of Known H7N9 Cases are Farmers by Profession Suggesting Extensive Spread on Farms in Affected Areas

Re: China - 9.25% of Known H7N9 Cases are Farmers by Profession Suggesting Extensive Spread on Farms in Affected Areas

Could work in either direction. Perhaps those who are aware of their isolation would be more likely to maintain a stock of anti-virals, especially those working with avian species. BioSecurity plans extend to the human on the farm as well.

Until we get clear treatment profiles in an organised format from the source for each case including home tx, we are left to speculate. No valid explanation has been provided for the sparsity of sequences and the poor annotation of the cases from the health officials in China.


Wikipedia lists Zhejiang province as being very prosperous yet rural people earn on average US $1465 per annum. If Tamiflu is around US $75 per pack (not sure what the actual price is currently) I am sure stockpiles would not be a priority.

I want to add my welcome to Bugonwindshield :D Annalisa and Nox. And thanks for the replies NS1.

We appreciate the hospitality.

TamiFlu cost is an issue. Black market pricing may be different.
