Yes, heard something on the news yesterday but did not pay close attention;  it's just to much information right now to deal with with.

Yeah every time you turn on the news it is something else. The riot crap is dying down so they have to come up with something else. I cannot understand how people are too blind to see what is going on.

I don't think this is new, it's a continuation of the initial virus.  The number of cases and death cases have increased because people are re-opening their businesses and people are going to those restaurants.  I don't there is a difference if they are sitting outdoors, you are still in danger because people has removed their facial mask.

The only news I've heard about a new virus was that cases of swine flu has been found somewhere.  It was in a foreign country but I can't remember which one.

It is not swine flu. That was several years ago. This is something new they have come up with. And the foreign country was China. This cov started in China. Being in a foreign country does not make any difference the way everybody travels every where nowadays.

The way they talk you would think Ebola about wiped us out because according to the media it was a pandemic as well.  Got to pay attention to what you are reading. And use your head. I remember Ebola. There were a handful of cases across the entire world.

From what I remember now, a few cases of swine flu have been found in China presently.  As far as these other diseases are concerned, they are often classified according to their virulence, ability to sicken and kill, and the treatments available.  This is why some conditions are classified in the manner they are.

What I am talking about is not the "swine flu" it is NEW.  People need to educate themselves. A VIRUS is NOT a DISEASE!   I have seen it a couple of times mentioned.  What I am talking about is still in pigs and has not jumped to people. But the article I read said it will jump to people and it will be a pandemic. Which is foolish. There is no way to know that.

It IS new. I should have saved a link to the article but I really did not care.   NO I am not in danger because people do not wear a mask. ::)  But you can believe what you want. It amazes me at how easily people are controlled. It is almost like there is some mind altering substance in the water and people do not have the ability to think for themselves any longer.

As far as the cov it is ridiculous to blame an increase in cases on restaurants. It is hilarious that nobody wants to blame any of the thousands screaming in the streets at protests.  That is one smart germ.

If you don't click a link and you don't google it then you can't know anything about it. And it has NOT transmitted from a pig to a person.  They said it is going to and then it will go from person to person and be a pandemic. That is what is so stupid. Nothing has happened but they are fear mongering and already got people scared. Now they need the pig vaccine.

It is not swine flu. That was several years ago. This is something new they have come up with. And the foreign country was China. This cov started in China. Being in a foreign country does not make any difference the way everybody travels every where nowadays.

What?! Did you read any of the links you posted? It is swine flu. They call it G4, and it's genetically descended from the H1N1 swine flu from 2009. And it has already been transmitted from pig to human. From the CBS News link that you posted:

Quote
According to blood tests which showed up antibodies created by exposure to the virus, 10.4 percent of swine workers had already been infected. The tests showed that as many as 4.4 percent of the general population also appeared to have been exposed.

The virus has therefore already passed from animals to humans but there is no evidence yet that it can be passed from human to human — the scientists' main worry.


You're right about it being a swine flu and it did start in China. I did read about it yesterday.  I think we should ban China from the U.S. forever. Seems a lot of viruses start there, whether intentional or accidental, whether from what they sell to eat or sanitation problems. Something is going on in China, and has been for years. We're just learning about this stuff now. I think SARS started in China, too. The worse part is we don't have a vaccine for this flu either.

Mutation in new coronavirus increases chance of infection

A specific mutation in the new coronavirus can significantly increase its ability to infect cells, according to a study by U.S. researchers.
The research may explain why early outbreaks in some parts of the world did not end up overwhelming health systems as much as other outbreaks in New York and Italy, according to experts at Scripps Research.
The mutation, named D614G, increased the number of "spikes" on the coronavirus - which is the part that gives it its distinctive shape. Those spikes are what allow the virus to bind to and infect cells.

"The number--or density--of functional spikes on the virus is 4 or 5 times greater due to this mutation," said Hyeryun Choe, one of the senior authors of the study.
The researchers say that it is still unknown whether this small mutation affects the severity of symptoms of infected people, or increases mortality.
The researchers conducting lab experiments say that more research, including controlled studies - widely considered a gold standard for clinical trials, needs to be done to confirm their findings from test tube experiments.
Older research has showed that the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is mutating and evolving as it adapts to its human hosts. The D614G mutation in particular has been flagged as an urgent concern because it appeared to be emerging as a dominant mutation.
The Scripps Research study is currently undergoing peer review and was released on Friday amid reports of its findings.

A virus in not a disease.  LOL!!! Well, it certainly can be! Also, scientists can use past knowledge to predict whether something is likely to jump to humans because of our closer and closer interactions with nature as the population grows and areas previously reserved as wildlife habitat decreases!  You always act like you know everything and are the only one educated.  Sometimes you make sense and provide good info; on other occasions you are off the mark.  Educate your own self!
