As of April 2013, only 360 people world-wide have died from avian flu, H5N1, and 10s of millions of birds have died of this strain since 2003. It is rare among humans.

As of Easter Sunday 2013, it was reported that a new strain to infect humans, H7N9, had claimed the lives of the first two people with this rare strain of avian flu. Two men have died in Shanghai, and one other person in a different part of China is in critical condition with this strain of bird flu.
