The mice, when infected with GX_P2V, displayed severe symptoms, including rapid weight loss within five days after being infected, sluggishness, and their eyes went white.
All four mice subjected to the virus died within eight days of infection, revealing a rapid and fatal progression of the disease.
Through the research, it was also found that the virus had spread to the brain, eyes and lungs. Also, the virus had actually increased in the brain over the last two days of life...
The scientists conducting the experiments were surprised at the intensity of the virus’s impact on the mice.
The virus not only spread throughout the mice’s bodies but also reached critical organs such as the brain, eyes, and lungs.
The scientists issued a warning, suggesting a potential risk of the virus spilling over into humans. They stressed on the need for further investigation into the high pathogenicity mechanism of GX_P2V and its potential implications for human health.

SARS-CoV-2-related pangolin coronavirus GX_P2V(short_3UTR) can cause 100% mortality in human ACE2-transgenic mice, potentially attributable to late-stage brain infection. This underscores a spillover risk of GX_P2V into humans and provides a unique model for understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2-related viruses.

Well, it seems like if God has no interest in rebooting the planet, then humans may just do the job themselves.
Wouldn’t that “burn out” too quickly to be useful as a weapon?
Coming our way, soon enough.
And our government never held China to account for the Covid Chinese Flu, instead making fun of people who even had the audacity to claim it was from Wuhan.
I don’t know. Smaller animals die more quickly than do larger ones.
But at least they have a virus now that could kill billions.
Problem for them is the vaccines don’t work.
Where is Fauci?Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
The false positive rate was 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
Quarantine the sick. Protect the vulnerable. Hang the guilty. Free everyone else.
Yeah, original COVID had incubation for a week before symptoms. This one is death within eight days.
Translate: we’re desperately trying to engineer another virus that’s contagious enough and severe enough to force mail-in *only* ballots.
Nope. It depends on how it's originally dispersed. Infect the majority of a population all at once. They don't remain healthy enough to spread it much beyond the target audience...
Why would anyone want to experiment with such a deadly virus? It is pure insanity. Destroy all samples immediately.
I hope the US is financing this so we have some “control” over it like we did with COVID.
Probably would kill the ones who took the vaxx. The rest of us have pretty good natural immunity to SARS-COVID family viruses by now.
Another election year and they are readying another virus.
It’s good to have a heads-up about this virus, but I don’t think it is pandemic capable.
There are certain limitations in this study. The mouse strain used has some differences from typical laboratory mice that might be significant in the pathogenicity of this virus.
The authors did not describe any route of transmission of this virus. They used an intranasal infusion to infect the mice and did find high loads of viral RNA on the third day after infection, which suggests it can spread through the respiratory route.
The virus they used has been altered through multiple passages in cell culture. This can be analogous to virus mutating when it spreads from person to person. So, we could see comparable mutations in a real life setting—or we might not.
The reason I think it is not pandemic capable is that, in general, the more deadly a pathogen is, the quicker the infected organism develops symptoms. The symptoms are also more severe. So, if someone in China prepares and cooks an infected pangolin and gets the infection as a result, they might become too sick too quickly to pass the virus on to others.
A perfect pandemic capable virus is one that has a high, but not astronomically high, death rate. Infected people, at least initially, feel well enough to go out of their houses and interact with others. It is probably spread through the respiratory route. It is capable of sustained human to human transmission. The SARS-CoV-2 virus demonstrated these properties from the beginning. So far, this GX_P2V(short_3UTR) virus has not been shown to have these properties. Maybe it is capable of sustained human to human transmission and is spread through the respiratory route, maybe not.
I could be completely wrong in this assessment and it turns out to be another pandemic virus with an even higher death rate than Covid. But, for now, I am not going to worry.
If these SOBs didn’t experiment with this poison there wouldn’t be a chance of it “accidently” leaking from the lab.
What curious timing. With Trump ascendent and all the plutocraps at Davos currently cheering the advent of “Disease X”, said to be twenty times deadlier than Covid-19.

“natural immunity to SARS-COVID family viruses “
You would have no immunity to this novel strain. Don’t kid yourself.
