Pandemics on tap.

Post by Top of the JES »

Researchers have found a new type of swine flu which could cause another pandemic, according to science journal PNAS. Named G4, it is genetically descended from the H1N1 strain that caused a pandemic in 2009.

Bet you can't guess which country this new virus has been detected in?

Depending on on where you look its, "Extremely Dangerous" down to "Alert but not alarmed", (guess which was the Daily Mail). No evidence yet that it will ever cross over into humans.

It can cross over into humans although at the moment not easily but it's not beyond reason to believe that it could mutate in the way swine flu did to easily infect humans.
