Number of flu cases in Britain has spiked. Bad winter ahead
Glad I got my kids their flu and covid shots a while back. This is gonna be a bad year.
The next four years are just going to be another Rick and Morty episode aren’t they?
Well, yes. The usual way pandemics start: Some new virus “crossbreeds” with an established one.
Damn, we just learned something from a recent illness…but what was it? I guess it will come back to us in time.
Oh, that’s right. 15 days. Stay the course. Thousand points of light.
For those wondering how tf 2 viruses merge:
“For example, if a human gets infected with a bird flu and also carries a human influenza A virus, these two viruses can exchange genetic material. This is known as genetic shift,” Michael previously told Fortune. “That can form very new viruses [and] cause epidemics.”
Reminder that the bird flu has been circulating for awhile now so this isn’t something that will just happen tomorrow.
It might just happen tomorrow.
Yeah and you and I might meet tomorrow. Super unlikely but possible.
I was actually thinking about a reply mainly around that this is always the case with viruses but I think your right. Its the increase in bird flu that makes it more of a possibility than before.
