Flu virus with 'pandemic potential' found in China

Looks like it can be responded to with a vaccine.

Current flu vaccines do not appear to protect against it, although they could be adapted to do so if needed.

Obviously good to know it's knocking around, but seems unlikely that we're going to suffer through more of this shit because of it.
 
I’m now working for a vaccine company in the UK helping them scale up their production facilities. Unfortunately I can’t say anything about it on social media!

Apparently this flu strain has been around since 2016. So hopefully not the 2020 disaster this article points to.

2020 is the year it becomes a disaster
 
These flu viruses are out there and more are emerging. The fact that it has been identified and is being studied before it has started spreading from human to human is good news. This kind of work is exactly what needs to happen on a much greater scale to prevent future pandemics.

A new strain of flu that has the potential to become a pandemic has been identified in China by scientists.

It emerged recently and is carried by pigs, but can infect humans, they say.

Got a horrible feeling about this winter, it will definitly see off some poeple with severe M.E if it comes.
 
meat production might have something to do with it but increased air travel making the world a smaller place and over population are bigger causes

:hmm:
So let's use alternatives - wherever practical - to both.

meh unless we removed domesticated animals completely from any contact with the human population
we will still be at risk from zoonotic diseases

even if we just eat fish or pat animals on the head from time to time

not having a go at people diet

just the amount of friggin people we now have world wide

:hmm:

Ah right, everything else is to blame but the meat you're eating.

No not really overpopulation and the transport of people are slightly more to blame

even if we all became vegan tomorrow and the world returned to pre covid dynamics some daft cunt who had a important business meeting would not put
it all of hold because he had a slightly shitting cold or flu

:hmm:


maybe after this all we get rid of the dappy bastards who boast about never taking a day off sick even when you know they have been
patient Zero in your works, more than once
 
So the only solution to that problem is to stop eating meat? Bollocks.
I'd say the best solution of all would be to cut back massively on the eating of meat for a whole host of rapidly increasing bloody good reasons. It's not like there's not a fucking multitude of nutritious alternatives people could eat instead.
 
Still don't see many of the chickens catching a plane for a conference in italy or singapore



:hmm:
