China faces deadly bird flu again



Evidence of the deadly H7N9 bird flu's comeback spread on Wednesday, with Hong Kong government officials reporting a third recent death there. China has gone on alert after reporting 96 infections and 19 deaths since the beginning of 2014. Shanghai is halting live poultry sales for three months starting Friday, and Hong Kong is stopping live-chicken sales for three weeks after poultry imported from China tested positive for the infection.
