RE: H7N9 is now airborne, 25% fatality rate
The primary source for this 'news' is the South China Post and contains NO new information.
It was always believed that it was airborne. The real question is "Is there sustained human to human transmission"
and at the moment the answer is no. Indeed the problem has slipped down the ratings and there has been no real news for a week.

And No Franc, it A(H7N9) does not make poultry ill. That's been a huge problem is that we can't see sick chickens. The only response has been to kill all chickens.

As a side issue, another concern is the nCov Sars like virus now spreading through Tunisia.

I'm also not medically qualified but I'm older, fatter and carry £100K worth of Legal Insurance - so sue me !
