H7N9 Causes CDC Activation Of Emergency Operations Center

(Before It's News)

 

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) activated its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in Atlanta yesterday to support the response to the H7N9 influenza outbreak in China, CDC officials said in an e-mailed statement today. 
 
The EOC was activated at level 2, the second of three levels. Level 1, the highest, signals an agency-wide response. 
 
Moreover, the case fatality rate is at 90%, although many mild cases have not been tested.
 
The EOC I believe is pictured above in a scene from the Walking Dead TV series.  I honestly didnt think the H7N9 was anything to worry about but things seemto be taking a turn for the worse.  Nothing to be afraid of yet by any means though.  -Mort
