BREAKING UPDATE August 11, 2015 / 591 cases / 300 deaths from H7N9 . MERS CoV 1352 Cases, 479 deaths

Yes, there is a thread I believe. Scary.

This sounds really bad! I guess we are all in just one big pressure cooker. Ugh.

meh..about a billion chinese there, get back to us when it hits 100 million or so, till then

Good idea. Perhaps you could get back to us after you ask the viruses nicely not to catch a plane. Or better yet, ask them to stop mutating.

Now on front page CNN: "New SARS-Like Coronavirus is THREAT TO THE WHOLE WORLD" [link to www.cnn.com]

I'm not sure whether people follow Mother Shipton for fun or, like me, you hope one day to be proved wrong, but every time I read an article about this I can't help but remember a certain prediction she made in regards to current times.



The signs will be there for all to read;
When man shall do most heinous deed Man will ruin kinder lives;
By taking them as to their wives.
And murder foul and brutal deed:
When man will only think of greed.
And man shall walk as if asleep;
He does not look - he may not peep And iron men the tail shall do;
And iron cart and carriage too.

The king shall false promise make;
And talk just for talking's sake.
And nations plan horrific war;
The like as never seen before.
And taxes rise and lively down;
And nations wear perpetual frown.

Yet greater sign there be to see;
As man nears latter century.
Three sleeping mountains gather breath, And spew out mud, ice and death. An earthquake swallow town and town;
In lands as yet to me unknown. And Christian one fights Christian two And nations sigh, yet nothing do. And yellow men great power gain;
From a mighty bear with whom they’ve lain.

These mighty tyrants will fail to do, They fail to split the world in two. But from their acts a danger bred;
An ague, leaving many dead.

And physics find no remedy;
For this is worse than leprosy.
Oh many signs for all to see;
The truth of this true prophecy.

Hey Wash,
It does seem that way, but I for one am not taking my eye off H7N9 yet.
I have a feeling it may come back around and bite us in the ass.

Novel H7N9 flu could mutate to infect horses

Problem is, if China is not giving out info (remember SARS in China?) it'll be hard to contain when it mutates to the point of easy H2H spreading. I'm still watching H7N9 also Vic.

China Terminates H7N9 Emergency Response

[link to afludiary.blogspot.ca]

From link:
Only one new case has been reported in recent weeks (see  Beijing Reports 2nd H7N9 Case), a dramatic drop in cases which has been attributed to the closing of live markets and the return of warmer weather.

Few experts believe the virus has gone for good, however, and many have deep concerns it will return once live markets are reopened, or when cooler temperatures return in the fall.

This from 2012
"This disease comes without warning, and by the time it is discovered, it's too late. The disease is characterized by excessive vomiting, diarrhoea, high fever and in some instances, coughing, hence the need for urgent intervention," he said.

Yola — At least five people have been confirmed dead, while 70 others are lying critically ill at the hospital following an outbreak of a yet to be diagnosed ailment. It was gathered that over 200 households in the border area of Mubi-South in Adamawa State have been affected.
