– The UK has declared a state of emergency amid an outbreak of bird flu that has now killed 37 people and sickened hundreds of thousands, the AP reports. Health officials say the current outbreak of H7N9 bird flu is linked to an unusually high number of human infections. Most of the new infections are in the Northeast, including New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New York City, reports the New York Times. Health officials say the H7N9 strain is similar to the H1N1 strain that has killed hundreds of people in the US over the last few years.
