China’s poultry industry lost 1.6 billion USD in the week after the H7N9 bird flu virus began infecting humans, state-run media said on April 15 as they sought to discourage panic. Altogether 60 people have been confirmed as infected and 13 have died in the two weeks since Chinese authorities said they found the strain in humans for the first time. AFP PHOTO / WANG ZHAO
