Twenty-two people have now died from the H7N9 strain of bird flu.
In China, there have been one hundred and eight cases of the disease.
H7N9 has now spread to a second country, as Taiwan has reported a case of it.
It is believed to now be spreading person to person, though at a very limited level.
To make matters worse, scientists are saying that the strain is now mutating, making itself unaffected by antivirals.
If the mutations continue H7N9 could very well become something that there is no known cure for.
