Next pandemic could be this "new" deadly Ebola-like monkey virus they say

How is it new when it was first sequenced in the 60s? Huh!?  

Simian hemorrhagic fever virus (SHFV) causes devastating Ebola-like symptoms including internal bleeding and death. It hijacks the immune system, disabling key defense mechanisms and breaking the body down cell by cell.

No cases have been detected in humans yet but it is 'poised for a spillover', according to US researchers. By developing tests and monitoring the virus now 'the global health community could potentially avoid another pandemic', they said.

Experts at the University of Colorado Boulder are raising the alarm due to SHFV's 'compatibility… with humans'. 

In a lab study, they found virus is able to latch on to a human receptor with ease and make copies of itself.

Senior author of the study Dr Sara Sawyer said: 'This animal virus has figured out how to gain access to human cells, multiply itself, and escape some of the important immune mechanisms we would expect to protect us from an animal virus. 

'That's pretty rare. We should be paying attention to it.'

Just as we are easing a bit on going maskless. Covid is here to stay. Monkey pox and any other viruses will continue to invade. There will be a lull in new cases. Making people think its over. Dont let your guard down

@newhorizons 

..was no reason for masks (or the forced vaccines) in the first place & people should be pissed about this:

If sanity and intellectual honesty still existed, these estimates would be front page news for every major media outlet in the world.

Just the other day in our local paper it said they're (Finland) changing how covid deaths are reported. If you had covid when you died, even if it was a car accident or unrelated to covid it was listed as a covid death.

..on the other hand..will there be a killer virus worldwide down the road?

probably

 

good rule of thumb:

when you see people dead in the streets it's time to freak out

(& even then i wouldn't take one of their vaccines)

I don't even know how many rounds covid made around here, but seems a lot of my coworkers and others have it again, many for the second time.
