China announces new case of bird flu infection in humans
Market Research Telecast ^ | October 29, 2021

The Health Commission of Guangdong Province, South China, ad this Thursday the existence of a new case of infection of the H5N6 strain of bird flu in humans.

The new case occurred in the city of Dongguan, in a context in which the increase in people infected with bird flu in China during 2021 is generating concern among experts, who explain that the current situation is probably given by the mutation of a strain that has become much more infectious to humans than its predecessors.

During the current year, China has reported 21 cases of human infections with the H5N6 subtype of avian influenza to the World Health Organization (WHO), which is a notable increase compared to only 5 infections in the year previous.

“The increase in human cases in China this year is worrying. It is a virus that causes high mortality,” said Thijs Kuiken, professor of comparative pathology at the Erasmus University Medical Center in Rotterdam, who noted that it is urgently needed. , further research in this regard that allows us to understand the current increase in infections in people, as well as the potential risks that this implies.

Never heard of this source, but it links to the AP and RT, which has similar stories.

I think this virus is probably already here, just hasn't hit the news cycle yet.

I think this is why you are starting to see the stories about combining the Covid and Flu "vaccines"

My opinion: I have had Covid, and it was bad but I have a compromised immune system. Since having Covid, I catch everything. I think Covid wipes out your immune system, I also believe that the same thing that wipes out your immune system with Covid, wipes out the immune system for people who get the Covid Gene Therapy shot.(Vaccine).

I expect that alot of people are going to get really sick this winter from simple flu's and colds, but the news reports are going to blame the unvaccinated and those not wearing mask (which a piece of cloth over the face does nothing but make a person more prone to respiratory infections than protect them or others from anything).

Interesting. Novartis came out with a bird flu vaccine back in 2009. Many people received it during the height of that scare that thankfully did not become a pandemic. Some have wondered if those who received that vaccine have cross resistance and some immunity to COVID-19. However this is another thing to watch carefully and unfortunately information coming out of China is not reliable.

Avian flu has been the “next big thing” since 1997, so far no biggie (unless you are a bird).

The coronavirus people were always the outbreak disaster porn losers, until their horse finally came in in 2019.

But Influenza A has a lot of potential, still. One day evolution will spin out a hemaglutinin other than H1, H2, or H3 that has human pandemic potential, but to say it’s “certain” is fine if you are talking about 10,000 years - but not if you are talking about next year.

Why are all the bugs affecting humans at a proposed high rate only coming from one country?

Shouldn’t the rest of the planet complete The Great Wall of China to surround & isolate it from the rest of the world?

Most excellent point. China should be made to social distance from the rest of humanity on planet Earth.

But they're working on it.
The next Chinese designer virus?

Why coming from china? type in “China, pollution” and read a few articles and you will see why. No Industrial Regs, no pollution controls, just lots of people trying to make a buck without realizing or wanting to know the consequences.

Lakes so polluted if you dip you hand in it you die. Rice grown in fields irrigated by waste water from battery reclamation plants,-they export that rice after village having 86% cancer rates in it. They now eat imported rice there. So much crap floating above Three Gorges dam, inc dead animals, you can walk across it.

Bird flu; much more plausibly "natural" than bat flu.

Yeah, H5 Nx viruses are really bad *IF* one shows up with a human to human vector. Absent that, don’t work with sick chickens.

IF a human to human H5N1 goes live, THEN react like it’s a bad pandemic, for real. H5N1 flu kills the host quickly though, so arguably not as hard to contain the spread.

LOL. Agreed. I handle hundreds of migratory birds every year, alive and dead for twelve years. No highly pathogenic avian influenza symptoms observed.

People would better advised to eat right and exercise. We're a ways away from HPAI posing a serious threat to humans.

Get ready for Fauci-21, because Fauci-19 clearly didn't turn us completely Communist.
