The year 2020 really is the gift that keeps on giving: Now researchers are warning that an influenza virus with the potential to become a pandemic has been discovered in China. Called G4 EA H1N1, the flu virus is carried by pigs but has already been transmitted to a small number of humans, the Guardian reports, though there's currently no evidence of human-to-human transmission. The concern is that it has, the scientists say, "all the essential hallmarks of being highly adapted to infect humans"—and then possibly mutate to pass easily from human to human. It's also novel, meaning people have little or no immunity to it. It does have some similarities to the last flu pandemic, 2009's swine flu, the BBC reports. Researchers are calling for measures to control the virus in pigs, as well as close monitoring of those who work with pigs. here

How can it be more scary than what we already have? If it would be like the swine flu, it would have a higher mortality rate and affect younger, healthy people along with the elderly and those with medical issues.

Why are PIGS always the bad guys? flan Why is CHINA always the bad guy? It is weird that new viruses always start there. They certainly not the only country with similar farming conditions.

"It’s not a big mystery why this is happening… lots of concentrated population, with intimate contact with lots of species of animals that are potential reservoirs, and they don’t have great hygiene required. It’s a recipe for spitting out these kinds of viruses," Dr. Steven Novella recently opined on an episode of the Skeptics' Guide to the Universe. link

But doesn’t that article describe conditions in any number of other countries? I sure don’t claim to know more than experts of course but I sincerely doubt China is the only country that has similar conditions.

Yeah I figured something like this would happen, it's become all political, hyper scare tactics, there has to be another flu but of course to make things worse.. According to the article they don't even know nothing about it yet- and they bring it out and hype it up- it might, it could, it may, or it just as well may not do anything. If they don't know anything about it, here's an idea why not wait till they do know something instead of jumping to conclusions.

Go back over what you just wrote & see if you can see the stupidity in it. WTH am I saying!! Of course you wouldn't. NO one is hyping it up or jumping to conclusions. That's WHY they say, it MAY, it COULD, it MIGHT.
