HONG KONG A new strain of the H1N1 swine flu virus is spreading silently in workers on pig farms in China and should be urgently controlled to avoid another pandemic, a team of scientists says in a new study.
H1N1 is highly transmissible and spread around the world in 2009, killing about 285,000 people and morphing into seasonal flu.
The newer strain, known as G4 EA H1N1, has been common on Chinas pig farms since 2016 and replicates efficiently in human airways, according to the study published on Monday. So far, it has infected some people without causing disease, but health experts fear that could change without warning.
G4 viruses have all the essential hallmarks of a candidate pandemic virus, the study said, adding that controlling the spread in pigs and closely monitoring human populations should be urgently implemented.

yup
and their contact tracers will quarrantine as many trump voters as they can
after all try disputing it, they can make up whatever and how can you verify it
You betcha. Fauxi, WHO, the UN, and Demonrats are behind this to the extent that they are cheering for shutdowns and a wrecked economy. None of these idiots ever studied immunology. With proper intake of proper vitamins, you really don’t have to worry about this virus or any other. And masks prevent herd immunity, another stupid rule that’s making people sick.
I don't ever want to see another Chinese in our colleges, medical facilities, or even my neighborhood. Yeah, I'm a bigot. Sue me.
Is this the 2nd wave (Hillary lover) Dr Fauci keeps talking about?
Yes this crap again. They will not stop until November 3rd.
....giggles....
COMMUNISM
Hooray... another pandemic.
How about WWIII where everyone just attacks China and wipes out the entire country?
Have Communist China’s allies in the dem party and “media” blamed Trump yet?
Now this makes me Grumpy!!!
quick. Lock everything down tight. Better keep it that way for the next 10years just to be safe
i say completely de-couple from China now and forever
Time to Quarantine the whole of China from the rest of the world!
If that doesn’t do it they can dump Ebola on us all. Because Trump.
I remember how “terribad” swine flu was supposed to be, and we didn’t shut down for that.
H1N1 was supposed to be “1918 reborn!!1!” and we didn’t shut down for that.
And they purposely tried to bring ebola here.
They found something they can work with
“Conveeeeeenient.”
