the first article is some of the worst reporting I have ever seen. Sorry dude influenza does not ‘mutate’ into plague. The reports out of Ukraine do report a lot of illness from something that is NOT plague but looks more like shock lung as a result of an influenza virus. This is what killed so many in 1918.

This may be bio warfare or maybe not. We need to keep our heads about us and not run off all crazy.

You are citing Alex Jones type rubbish in some of it.

Take a deep breath. Reorganize your thoughts. Take your meds if necessary

I take it that you are a qualified virologist and also qualified to prescribe meds? Or you just enjoy making anonymous insults? As to the topic itself, the articles and videos are presented for what they were online in newspaper and television reporting, a long discussion by at least one qualified biologist, and information about Mr. Joseph from a recognized database of bio-experts. If none of this troubles you, that’s your choice. Would you mind if others look at the information and arrive at their own conclusions? I’m not sure who the Alex fellow is, but I’ll leave him for you to follow.

Even if the hysterical reporting in the original article were true, the cited mortality rate is very low: 189 out of more than a million cases. That's less than two hundredths of a percent, or 0.0189%.

If the later statement that the government might be underreporting the cases by a factor of 10 or 20 were true, that would make it even less lethal (since it's harder to underreport the deaths themselves than it is the overall cases).
