Bird flu HAS mutated to infect people: Fresh pandemic fears as scientists on ground zero in Cambodia find H5N1 strain that killed 11-year-old girl had evolved to infect human cells better

A bird flu strain that claimed the life of a schoolgirl in Cambodia has evolved to better infect human cells, in a worrying sign.

Scientists on the ground who made the discovery said the finding 'needs to be treated with the utmost concern'.

They added that there were 'some indications' the virus had already 'gone through' a human and picked up the new mutations before infecting the girl.

The 11-year-old girl, from Prey Veng province, last week became the first victim of H5N1 in 2023. Her father has also tested positive for the virus but has not developed symptoms.

I’m just pointing out that the CDC keeps telling us “It’s the next BIG disease.” But it never is. Of course, ten million third-worlders pouring over the southern border means it really COULD be the next big disease.

“Her father has also tested positive for the virus but has not developed symptoms.”

So it may not get everyone sick or very sick who gets it. The concern is that it may affect children more than the adults...hence the 11 year old dying but not the father.

I heard NYC had a big sale. You probably could have bought your very own respirator for $20. Ever get the feeling you’re just a little late? Take heart though, I’ve always heard life sucks then you die. Besides no one is walking out of here. 😉

"Has anyone ever called you a gullible idiot?"

Has anyone called you an insulting bully? Instead of showing your narcissistic personality, try giving a comment that explains your thinking on the subject.

Why do I have to explain the world to you? You lived through the COVID scam and yet there you bleating like a sheep over the latest scary article about a potential pandemic. ‘Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.’

Exactly! Hopefully by the time it naturally crosses, it’ll be weak enough to be a normal flu.

I am new to the awareness of the Bird Flu. Public awareness to this disease is on the same level as the UFO issue. I have no clue to its future implications. I have read of a 53% human fatality rate, but that rate may because of the low sample. Only 868 humans have been infected, so far. However, more than 60 million birds have either died as a result of bird flu virus infection or have been culled due to exposure to infected birds. With that high death rate, I become paranoid. Will the poultry that we depend upon develop immunity? Like my mom would say, “An ounce of prevention, is worth a pound of cure.” I fear that pound of cure might mean the death of millions of people.
