The virus was detected in 2016 and so far there's no evidence of an outbreak.

“Thinking back over the history of infectious diseases, I can’t think of a time when we’ve had two simultaneous respiratory viruses that are pandemic,” said Dr. William Schaffner, professor of preventive medicine and infectious disease at Vanderbilt University. “This would be an unprecedented event should this virus suddenly decide to activate and begin to spread.”

He also said the United States is much more prepared for an influenza pandemic than a coronavirus one as the country has already mitigated a similar pandemic in 2009 and vaccines that are developed every fall have an H1N1 component.However, it’s unknown whether current vaccines could work against the new virus or if U.S. public health systems would be capable of managing it as it continues to struggle under the weight of COVID-19.

While antibodies were present in humans, suggesting possible infection and recovery, it's unclear if workers were infected by pigs or by other humans. There is also no evidence of symptoms that may indicate illness.Coronavirus cases:More research evidently needs to be done, but Schaffner says the study is an “early warning signal” to influenza investigators around the world and serves as a useful blip on the public health radar.

Correct but gear phycosis and giving starved bodies to them is strengthening it no Doctor ,this is my feeling, by statics we see each day, appears there is a competition who writes first?

Seems to be Chinese genocide 🤔

So says who? WHO?

Well....we have that going for us. Awesome

fanning the flames of fear.

DJT is that you?

Experts say 75% of human infectious disease stems from how we farm/consume animals. Pandemics won't end until we address factory farming, eating exotic animals, and eating dogs/cats. We're also devastating the planet with grazing and feeding cattle.
