Flu strain with pandemic potential found in pigs.

[CastletonSnob]

Because 2020 doesn't think we've suffered enough.

What the world doesn’t need now is a pandemic on top of a pandemic. So a new finding that Chinese pigs are more and more frequently becoming infected with a strain of influenza that has the potential to jump to humans has infectious disease researchers worldwide taking serious notice. Robert Webster, an influenza investigator who recently retired from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, says it’s a “guessing game” as to whether this strain will mutate to readily transmit between humans, which it has not done yet. “We just do not know a pandemic is going to occur until the damn thing occurs,” Webster says, noting that China has the largest pig population in the world. “Will this one do it? God knows.”

When multiple strains of influenza viruses infect the same pig, they can easily swap genes, a process known as “reassortment.” The new study, published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, focuses on an influenza virus dubbed G4. The virus is a unique blend of three lineages: one similar to strains found in European and Asian birds, the H1N1 strain that caused the 2009 pandemic, and a North American H1N1 that has genes from avian, human, and pig influenza viruses.

yeah, this isn't a joke or something to be taken lightly, people should prepare themselves for another bioweapon manufactured from Xi to boost his public image.

honestly, it's so obvious with those doctor disappearance stories that there are good people in China already aware of these things but are obviously being assassinated to keep quiet. These viruses are test runs for something bigger in the future. Something so terrifying that it will invoke martial law and the end of humanity as we know it all for a few men to achieve their dark ambitions.

I would love to see evidence for all these conspiracy theories.

[ParanoiD84]

China keeps giving.

[JohnBrown1917]

China keeps giving.

Yeah, China should just kill all its animals, just to be sure.

[ParanoiD84]

Could also stop being filthy as fuck with their wet markets and other shit, stop boiling and skinning animals alive would be nice too.

[YUPPIE]

I would love to see evidence for all these conspiracy theories.

1. there are disappearances or abrupt silences of politicians and doctors that voiced concerns over COVID all over in China. What the hell is up with that other than the obvious?

2. Xi is working very hard to bolster his PR in this global crisis and it's been working out well for him as China is concerned.

3. On top of all this, they have constantly rebuked investigative efforts into their country and would rather suffer sanctions and antagonistic foreign relationships.

4. The fights with India and Japan lately over territory.

So it's not a fucking "conspiracy theory" at this point. We have demonstrated how ill-prepared we are for viral pandemics, evidently. So it's a matter of time before bioterrorism/warfare replaces nuclear deterrance. Remember how Shiro Isshi's master plan to conquer the world for Japan in WW2 involved the use of a biological weapon of unspeakable terror before the war abruptly ended.

A nuke and its aftereffects cannot be controlled, it only exists to destroy everything. A virus can kill and be controlled through cures.

None of that is evidence of China manufacturing a bio-weapon.

Covering up a pandemic...sure...but not manufacturing and releasing a bioweapon.

Would you really put the CCP morally above the use of bioweapons when they still run torture camps and commit daylight assassinations and kidnappings on top of violently subjugating Hong Kong?

All these viruses have been coming from China. Bats and pigs exist elsewhere in the world and we have never had COVID-19 before. Some countries even regularly like eating creatures like locusts (you know, flying cockroach-like monsters the size of an arm), and there hasn't been a viral pandemic.

Wet markets exist all over the world, and none of that relates to pigs developing a virus.

We're still waiting on the evidence for all your claims.

Their so called wet markets with dead and alive animals laying next to each other all over the place is mostly a asian thing and it's disgusting, I could also post some things they do to the animals like boiling them alive but that would get me banned for posting gory and disturbing things.

There is tons of videos and picture in general of their disgusting markets.

The way they treat animals in general there is disgusting.

And that is not really our problem, but feel free to try and solve world-wide poverity instead of looking up cherry picked images of what you think wet markets are,

[Saltysquidoon]

I'm going to hit you all with the hottest shit.

Zoonoses exist fucking everywhere all the time.

[YUPPIE]

And that is not really our problem

it is when millions of lives have been lost to a virus from those very markets

[Themius]

They’re a developing nation. This is a problem for much of the world

[Machismo]

So, is this you admitting you aren't going to be backing up your bullshit conspiracy theories?

[Unholyground]

They’re a developing nation. This is a problem for much of the world

The population they have is the main issue over all else.

[ParanoiD84]

Yeah it's such a tremendous effort to find all those vids and pictures of their markets and festivals specially after this corvid virus and the shit ton of criticism they got after.

Should perhaps cut down or slow down on the amount of people there to ease the process then.
