The new strain, scientists say, is carried by pigs but can infect humans and requires close monitoring.

That virus, called A/H1N1pdm09, is now covered by the annual flu vaccine to make sure people are protected.

So far, it hasn't posed a big threat, but Prof Kin-Chow Chang and colleagues who have been studying it, say it is one to keep an eye on. They found evidence of recent infection starting in people who worked in abattoirs and the swine industry in China.

Good. Hopefully this will be the end

_zanephillips_ Surely not. I pray this does not happen.

how about we just say no to this one. that makes it so G4 EA H1N1 (weird name, might as well call it covid 20) cannot harm us because boundaries

Is it infectable by human contact? I apologize if it sounds dumb as shit.

Payback from the animals to us for having no respect for their welfare.

Virus known as the BBC found with 'propaganda potential' in the UK, so a friend told me anyway.

Not another pandemic God.

Well

I hate that photo. The misery on the pig's face is heartbreaking. Go vegan people and stop the misery and the pandemic risks.

Wow, I didn’t see this happening!

China celebrating Xmas since December 2019 Only gifts to others. Not receiving any So generous China is

Looks like they dont want world to survive 2020 ! People thought nuclear Armageddon will be threat to life in 21st century but alas it is monthly pandemics from china !!

Chinese flu 😷 Chinese Virus ...Chinese Assholes

What ever next, the most dirty disease's come from china starting to think our health would be much better if we cut them off from the rest of the world.

Enjoy your Bacon SundayBrunch 🤢🥓Cholesterol, Cancer & Cruelty is not essential. TaxMeat & Dairy it’s scary. FakeFood FactoryFarms 💊🐖

1. Nuke China. 2. Repeat

Off course its found in china of all places.

Great here we go again!

Seth52632299 they will hold it back until nov 3

Made in China 🇨🇳

Fauci and Kawaoka cooked this H1N1 up and did a little GOFR with their friends in CCP - P.S. SwineFlu is a rebranding of SpanishFlu that they resurrected from frozen Eskimo lung tissue. Pigs are the animal model they tested in- cuing up the next Plandemic ;)

Covid hasn’t managed to scare people into blindly accepting mandatory vaccinations yet sooooo

calamityganons OMG Kelsey, I thought your mum had just unleashed the family photo albums. Then I really realised she had.

fluffybutts I had h1n1 IT WAS SERIOUS

Don’t be fooled by this nonsense. The majority of the world’s pork is raised right here in the good ole USA. Without it, nations would surely die. Fear monger if has paralyzed the entire world. It’s all about control.

If they manage to arrest a watch dealer on the TV network, Fire T.V.(in State of Italy,European Union). Thanks they only sell watches and if they can block the operator or the dealer of the radio and television network as soon as possible, thanks !!!

Bruh why is everything coming from China. Genuine question

COVID-20

Not happy with abusing Animals they want the world to themselves 🤬🤬🤬

2020isoverparty

When? 2025

No sequels

I hate china.

World is gonna end soon

seems covid-19 is just the initiation

if the virus continue its spreading and caused another city into lockdown then i think many country should stop the flights to and from China (the only exception is that the medical team come to assist China for stopping this new epidemic disease)

Can it stay in China this time? 🙄

alokodoko pigs cute huh

Fake news

More ppl are starting to wake up huh

Oh god here comes peta and the vegans. Finally we have their attention. Covid 19? Nah they don’t care. Flu virus with animals? UNACCEPTABLE

Thought it was Killery there for a minute

Keep eating animals. Keep breeding new diseases...

Leviticus 11 :: NIV. ... 'And the pig, though it has a split hoof completely divided, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you. You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.'

Wowowowowowow not surprised

Just get rid of the animals who have it so it cannot get to us

Ah shit, here we go again

China was like fuck it, let’s go for that double or nothing bonus round

I-

If you are not willing to give up meat atleast stick to the basics and make sure its 100percent hygienic (also cook your meat fully for heavens sake)

china, again?

Apparently many vegans are upset here. Why don’t we start killing all living animals and don’t breed them anymore so human won’t consume meat anymore. Pets included, kill them all and let them all go extinct cause they have potential in spreading virus.

Dirty, unhygienic Chinese workers infect pigs with deadly influenza strain. Pigs refuse to eat workers due to cleanliness issues.

China needs to fr chill the fuck out....

Just Cut all travel to China forever

🤔☣️⚰️🐷

Bastard, Canalha, miserable. You have to pay the world for using biological weapons. It deserves several atomic missiles in the face.

Of course..

Hippie__Ben A lot of questions around China atm!

God, stop it. This ain't like the summer i've been waiting for.

Hippie__Ben Well there you go!!! Ban animal markets for good! Those poor animals 😢

fyi- perhaps the original primary and current source as i have been saying! al-ameer a.-k. al-shareef-bey el

Anyone else think pigs are cute and cool?

One bloody virus and disease after another! This is why I dont eat pork! 😷 Such a dirty animal

How about stop everything that comes from China!!!? DONT YOU SEE THEY HAVE AN AJENDA?

Honest to god Kathryn92908053 Sadiecox6

China should be terraformed. OR China should be shut down and formatted.

China needs to be held accountable for its policies relating to agriculture

SHUTTHEFUCKUPHOLYSHIT.png

SamaraAfzal madam any leads?

I stopped eating pork after seeing this, now I only eat organic plant grown bacon

China has NO CHILL

July starter pack x

O. Of course.

thantmyintu Can we have the murder wasps back please thank you very much

Hmmm, 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️

God will help us

I am done eating meat. This is getting out of control. I don’t even like meat. And animals get abused. This is a sign we need to stop eating meat.

someone regulate the Chinese markets. This is ridiculous.

NetNobody So many people talking about not eating animals. Anything could contain a virus. Plus, not human. Their lives don’t matter. Their purpose is to heal nature, repopulate, and be eaten.

It appears the pig is suffering from a skin infection... what is China doing to heal these pigs? buyAmericangrown

China is the root cause

Gotta love 2020.

This won’t surprise me if China try’s to use this virus now to and try to release it on the rest of the world like they did with Corona virus which I call China Virus.

Fear mongering

How 2020 got us being like whenever a new world-ending possibility pops up...

Nah I'm good

China should put itself in a bubble for 5 years and no travel should be allowed in or out of that country ,because all the viruses that originate there will wipe out humankind

Whomever is playing Jumanji in China, you can stop now

Dont let china to deny again wuhanvirus chinavirus coronavirus covid covid19 covid20 kungflu

China is a threat to this planet

July showing up with a NEW FLU like

Again? China is the enemy, never forget that!

Cant world just stop interacting with china...in that way world wont have to do anything with the mess they create

kinsellawarren Ah, big whoop...flu, schmoo, it's no worse than the coronavirus. 😉 In any case, this can't happen soon: I already have meth-alligators for July and giant vampire fish for August.

I wonder if realDonaldTrump will handle this better then he did COVID19 when it hits us boarders? Probably not he'll just let more Americans die. Trump doesn't give a shit about the people, just his own ego.

With all the things tied into China, this like what- 4th global health concern? They need to put sanctions on that and set down and say 'no exports if you don't get clean' who buys crack for a friend & lectures it's killing him?

These Chinese have destroyed world peace

Bizzle4Life95 Any Jews in the crowd? -wbk

Is it Modi flu 🤧

Cleanup those filthy wet markets in China and quit killing our world!!!

bro stopppppppppppp

Yippee! Just what we need another pandemic in the making and we haven’t even made it through this one!

For China it sure sounds like potential to wreck havoc in the world

When is the world going to wake up to what China is trying to do? They are trying to destroy the whole world.

Should be obvious by now what China and democrats are doing CloserNation ChinaVirus Nana_MAGA2020 LegendaryEnergy TwWorthy

Let’s never do business with China.

The Rosie O'Donnell flu is going to get us all.

I just wanna say that China bought the most important energy company in my country , Peru. How strange is that the whole world is starving but China is buying companies around the world. China deserves a BIG BOICOTT

Again. STOP TRADING WITH CHINA! StopTradingWithChina

Hallelujah! ✝️ ♋😈G🐕D🐕G😈 ♋ ✝️

Another ChineseVirus ?!!

keep your open people!!!

Ya'll need to fuckin quit.

Oh no. Ohhhhhhhhhhh no.

Not another one. Enough is enough already!

Don’t even bother developing this story BBC. If this does ever develop into a pandemic then it will surely have been proven to have been spread by US servicemen or to have originated in Europe and not China.

I can’t.... please no more! Something is seriously wrong with our planet 2020worstyear

Stop factory farming & stop eating animals

Can we just shut china off from the rest of the world until they can sort their shit out.

Abingdon_Health Pandemics both current and potential will be at the forefront of people’s/gov minds for a while to come. One thing for sure is that as a globe we need to be better prepared. This is where Biotech companies and governments alike need to step up future planning. odx ncyt ukrtc

Fucking ching chong mofos

I’m begging you, I’m pleading with you, let us breath

Fck the Chinese

Now China doesn't have any say

All countries need to ban travel from China and declare WAR on the Chinese Government. They are introducing population control on a mass level. They are trying to control the world, they want a one world government.

Oh well might as well just stay in until 2023

Chuckthefreak

I think it's safe to say we're not gonna survive past this year

ये China वाले जीने देंगे या नही?

Whole world need to disconnect all their connection with this country CHINA. It is intentionally developing such viruses to control the world. All the countries come together and teach this piece of shit country a lesson. We don't want Covid-20! BoycottChina ChinaGetOut

Again? Really need to shut down all food markets in Asia! All virus and flu pandemics have come from them.. hygiene and food safety is not known at all at them it seems.. shut them down

Just say no to bacon

Maybe I missed it but why do these things seem to start in China?

Anyone blaming China read this. These pandemics are happening (and will continue to happen) because we abuse animals for no good reason.

eh! Xitler (Shitler) is at it again. GodSaveTheWorldFromChina

That's it lets nuke China right now, anybody else agree?

CHINA......WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!!

This year just been one big plot twist after another

Pandemic Season 2

Eggman should have pissed on the earth first

Mother nature is done with Humans.....she's pissed off and is culling our herd

The sequel: Chinese Flu 2: Kung Flu

Again?!

Stop eating animals. This is madness.

in China you say?

Because... 2020

Well. That's. Just. Dandy. How about we close China off from the rest of the world NOW, rather than wait until the thing gets out of hand.

Oh helll noooo!! 😳

CCPChina is an all out Virus WAR against the world. Are we not seeing it yet ?

He will save us!

Well then let’s all stay inside until no one ever dies again!

It's not even July yet

Here we go again

Maaf krde ab 😛😛

Stamp it out now then. Don’t let it mutate

Time to Dome China.

Comments seem to favour of amputating China like a defective limb because a virus is discovered. Maybe it's because they have the best scientific research, resources and doctors in the world.

Every country has pigs and other animals. But china is the source for most viruses. Either their culture of eating or life style needs introspection. Better lockdown china for a while.If they try to escape responsibility blaming usa as usual this lockdown will benefit them too.

I wonder if they'll blame this one on the U.S too?

Of all the rotten luck.🤦🏽‍♀️

okay so now the sensible thing to do is close off china borders.... now do it.

When will we stop mistreating animals surely it’s obvious by now that poor animal welfare is having a massive health impact..😞

FFS China.

Deep State media giving it everything they’ve got

भोसड़ी के, निपटा के ही मानोगे क्या?😠😠😠

Mamma Mia here we go again

Groundhog day

Propaganda war between the USA and China with a hint of Russia and the rest of the world has been caught up in it,it’s about money,power and greed were are nothing but pawns in a game far bigger than we could know there’s a lot of people made billions on the back of this.

What in the hell is going on in China?
