New strain of flu in China has potential to become a pandemic, scientists warn

The new strain is descended from the type of flu — known as "swine flu" — that emerged in 2009 causing the first global flu pandemic in 40 years.

As with swine flu, the new strain has been identified as having "all the essential hallmarks of a candidate pandemic virus." "Such infectivity greatly enhances the opportunity for virus adaptation in humans and raises concerns for the possible generation of pandemic viruses," the scientists, who work at several Chinese universities and the country's Center for Disease Control and Prevention, noted."Controlling the prevailing G4 EA H1N1 viruses in pigs and close monitoring in human populations, especially the workers in swine industry, should be urgently implemented," they wrote.

While "swine flu," that first emerged in Mexico in 2009, is seen now as one of a variety of seasonal flu viruses

Guess WHO will NEVER be going to CHINA 🙋

no flights from.china .. ban all flights

China! Seriously! Let's ban all exports of deadly viruses, the world needs a vacation...

Oh man... not another one... boo! Can China Jst close up and stay away from the rest of the world please... 😑

shutdown that damn country!!!

I would think if this were true we’d have heard something before now

China is the international hub and hot-bed for Infectious Diseases!

Again?! We should be very afraid. And, these are only the ones we know about...

Right on time! Right democrats? Pathetic, China fuking everyone and democrat media doesn't even care

12 await you, this if so would be 2

No way

couldve at least waited until next year for this

Long before the Kung Flu, People in China have been wearing face masks for years. Now they have everyone else in the World.

Better, keep China apart....

😂🎶Ring around the Rosie Pockets full of posies...

And people will still find a way to blame Trump over China 🙄

What is wrong with this country, can't they control their health system. Great ... a new strain of flu maybe they want to de-populate their nation. Reason international travel needs to be banded. Close the global airline system the number one carrier of these viruses.

Tf!

Sure. Until Election Day of course

At least our pandemic preparedness unit will be all over this. Oh wait, Trump disbanded them in 2018. Unfortunately many of us have not and/or will not survive this incompetent malevolent administration.

CharleyL95

Another stain from Wuhan Institute. I suppose these guys are always busy.

When build a wall surrounding China? Asking for many friends

FOH

Blah blah blah the fist Scamdemic didn’t work so they are going to try with another! FakeNews

This. Is. All. Planned.

They sharing this data with us now? Or is the media lying to us again, like they did with the meat and toilet paper shortage?

Last day of June need to get ready for July’s world ending fear

If that shit make it out of china ... illumaniti is real

Interesting how all these pandemics are coming out of China! And yet the President gets blamed for all of them. How will they blame the President for this one? We'll find out tomorrow when a new month starts! We're onto you Democrats!

Eye on the ball. Deal with one pandemic at a time FFS

These days politics overrules science so the world can do nothing about it. The COVID-19 is a strong example.

This is garbage and more fear porn!

Another novel no one needs

are you fucking kidding me right now

WHAT THE .... ?

🐑🐑🐑🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱

Allahu akbaaar :(( what is wrong with u, people.

It was tested to be H1N1 - the swine flu to be exact.

Just another fear tactic. Carry on. 🙄

The Trump Administration has taken swift action on this, and labeled “scientists” as a terrorist organization.

Time for more media fear mongering?

China attack 2. And the Dems are still defending them. Why? Follow the money

Built a wall around China to stop spreading flu... oops, they do have a wall already

We must have rights to not wear a mask without stigma or injust corrupt laws. There are needed exceptions eg for difficulty breathing, need to breathe naturally, & adverse reactions to its materials eg treated air, touches. Refurbishment to fix this some:

All the doctors not treating COVID-19 exactly like the flu these days are using gutter science. Science can't be trusted based on only assumptions. Math can't even be proven true. Math dies when every number has a centillion centillion places after the decimal point.

For God’s sake just treat if like the flu! Don't try to shutdown the economy from still being in reboot. Help us God!

I mean both pandemic at the same to how would anybody know if ppl have not caught both or not or been infected with one and not the other and is being treated for the right pandemic .... :

Someone put a wall around China. Disgusting place

Surprised? CHIIIIIIINAAAA

Ogun kill them for China!!! 😡😡

Typical fear mongering by this accounts publishers during a sensitive time...here is the U.K.'s Sky News report on the topic. Your online stories are losing credibility quickly.

damn chinxese

For fucks sake

Let me know when water has turned into blood.

Meanwhile, DJT is...

More fear porn

China creates the virus and the USA and Brazil make it a fashion trend.

Can we all just agree to wall off China and ban travel to or from forever?

All garbage. Promoting lies.

Wow!

What a horribly written click bait title.

Here we go again

Looks like Australia will be keeping its borders closed for the foreseeable future......😱😱😱😱😱

More propaganda fear peddling by CNBC.....

Wait , what the swine flu again ?

2020 just keeps on giving

I understand clicks on the coronavirus are decreasing, but damn I didn’t think the media would pivot to a new virus already. Bold, cotton.

Maybe this time it will REMAIN in China because no one is traveling right? And borders are closed everywhere

Good ol fear tactics

Farting has the chance of staining your underwear.

save_the_tweet please

Just as one winds down there’s a need to manufacture another. Fear mongering at its finest. Disgusting reporting.

Pandemics will continue to be a risk regardless of country of origin as long as factory farming exists. Go vegan!

They said that about covid 19 in 2013 and did nothing about it

CurkJoe China

Oh great 😩

Cpcc15

The question everybody should be asking is why is all pandemic originating from just one country in the world.

Oh great 🙄

Of course

2020 is the end. I'm 100% sure now

They want us wearing these stupid masks forever🤦‍♂️ Dems & Media will just keep finding shit to have the reason🤦‍♂️🤬

So.....Are they engineering them? Is this a war of attrition? Because they can probably win that war!

China is playing 3 dimensional chess. Careful.

China sucks

Glad Trump shut down travel from China.

When is enough enough with China

There u go! Disappointment was setting in / ending too soon in 2020 🥂

plesbilongmi So this is July?

Another Bioweapon that 'escaped' from the Wuhan Lab? RedDeath HanFlu EmbargoPRC

Ban everything and everyone originating in China. Its ground zero for these viral infections.

Keep buying mask from China folks !!! We will never learn!!!

OH NOW THERES THE FLU !!! KEEP SPREADING THE FEAR HYPE FOR THE UNICORN VACCINE !!!

Undiscovered discoveries? Means it was there all the time. Body adapted but? Red bull and popcorn the new norm? Any wonder people get sick in General?

...and America is epically unprepared.....for this or any other crisis....the US government, under trump, is AWOL, or on the golf course, or sucking on a binky staring at phone/Fox news. We are failing miserably as a country under this president.

Pork Flu? Now if you looking for trouble what do you get? Or Expect ? Science keeps digging up 'new fossis'.. looking for viruses finding new ones - call it a name because they do not know it. Then shout Epidemic! How stupid.. Like finding old toys!

eeeegn 🙃🙃

Thanks for the HeadsUp... off to buy more toilet paper🤧🧻🧻🧻

Needs to be Nuked

ProfSteveKeen f to pay respects

Stevest39589292 China Sucks a$$!

I enjoy this catastrophic news , keeps market/ stocks cheep. A few more negativity and i’ll be preparing my wallet 💵 for “discount” purchases 🤩

They need to put China in a bubble because they have so many viruses over there that can kill the whole world

Invade China and get these unhygienic pigs clean

Could it have anything to do with animals being packed in warehouses and treated like shit with no sanitary standards at all?

Mah_Tabz

The media is running out of C19 steam. Facts are stubborn. They need another disease to keep the panic gravy train moving.

liberalsareewww

That’s okay. We have two empty binders. We got this.

ProfSteveKeen

MariangelaPira

I just want to ask:How hard for your American media to say that the scientists warn this are from China?

Just in time. I was wondering what we’d get to deal with the last half of 2020apocalypse

Sweet
