New swine flu found in China, epidemic feared, infected 4.4% of the population

Beijing, Ta. 30 June 2020, Tuesday

Researchers have found a new swine flu from China that could exacerbate the current corona epidemic. According to a report published in the American science journal PNAS, the new swine flu outbreak discovered in 2009 is the same genetic strain of H1N1 that spread around the world. Which means it's about to be the most delusional time of the year, as well.

According to scientists at several Chinese universities and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in China, the new swine flu is so dangerous that it can make people very sick. If a new swine flu outbreak spreads during the Corona epidemic, it will be a huge problem. The new swine flu is called G4 and was discovered by Chinese scientists from 2011 to 2018. Meanwhile, scientists took swabs from the noses of more than 30,000 pigs in 10 states and examined them.

Based on the swab, 179 types of swine flu were reported to be present in China and G4 was isolated from all of them. G4 swine flu has been found in most pigs and has been growing in them since 2016. Scientists then began studying the G4 and were blown away by the revelation.

Studies show that the new swine flu G4 can infect humans very quickly and seriously. It spreads the transition so intensely that it can quickly take the form of an epidemic among humans. As it is a seasonal flu, no human will get immunity from G4 swine flu. Despite its resistance to the common flu, the G4 can make anyone terribly ill.

Scientists claim that one in 10 people working on a pig farm in China have been infected with G4. Scientists tested antibodies in people who were infected with G4. The test also revealed that about 4.4 percent of China's population has been infected with the G4. The virus has spread from pigs to humans, but there is no evidence that it has spread from man to man, and scientists are studying it.

Chinese scientists said the epidemic would become more dangerous if the G4 spreads from human to human, and advised people working with pigs to be most vigilant at the moment.

According to James Wood, president of the Department of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Cambridge, we need to be serious about transitioning to farm animals. Such viruses and infections are spreading due to the growing relationship between humans and wild animals so we have to reduce contact with wildlife.
