"streptococcus suis" is completely fictional.
The genetics of this are a cross between Ebola SZ and H5N1. From the sounds of it, the "splicing" is rather crudely done, but it functions.
It is the human polymorphism in the H5N1 that gives it the additional lethality in mammals, and now with the swine recombination it transmits easier.
After this is all said and done, I think we need to take the chemistry/biology tools away from the ChiComs. They don't appear to be trustworthy with their toys.
"They don't appear to be trustworthy with their toys."
Ditto that.
Apparently it does.
