Dead fur animal study in China uncovers dozens of new viruses

Viruses found include 36 new ones and 39 at ‘potentially high risk of cross-species transmission’, including human spillover, study says.

Viruses found include 36 new ones and 39 at ‘potentially high risk of cross-species transmission’, including human spillover, study says

A study of more than 450 fur animals in China has revealed dozens of new viruses and cross-species infections, including some with high risk of human spillover.

Raccoon dogs and minks carried the highest number of potentially high-risk viruses, according to findings published in the latest issue of Nature, including a mink virus closely related to those only found in bats so far.
Of the 28 species sampled, most of the animals were farmed for their fur, meat or medicinal properties, and all of them were dead.

“Fur farming represents an important transmission hub for viral zoonoses,” the study authors said, with some viruses having already spilled over to humans.


Scientists from several Chinese universities and some from overseas took part in the research, including Edward Holmes, a virologist at the University of Sydney.

In early 2020, Holmes helped Shanghai virologist Zhang Yongzhen become the first to publicise the genome sequence for Sars-CoV-2 – the coronavirus strain that causes Covid-19. The sharing of the data with the international community helped to speed up vaccine development as the pandemic raged.

Viruses jump into humans all the time. No big deal.

Except when it becomes a big deal and we have to stay indoors for years.

It's sensationalism. In 2009 swine flu jumped into humans and nobody batted an eye. China did lockdown in 2020 and shocked the world. China played everyone for fools. Don't forget Project 2020: The Great Reset. When the government takes away your rights and freedoms.

I guess for you all those who died are also sensationalism.

SARS coronavirus type 2 kills very few people. SARS coronavirus type 2
infects 200 million Americans a year. Out of 200 million infections, only about 30,000 deaths, and 99% of those are really old people in their 80s or 90s.

If SARS coronavirus type 2 is dangerous how come I never got a problem?

As COVID-19 infection numbers top 1 million a day, the CDC promotes a campaign <em>against</em> public health

More than 1.2 million Americans are being infected with COVID-19 every day as students and teachers return to school.

SARS coronavirus type 2 is far less severe compared to flu. I would say it's on par with rhinovirus C. Less severe than flu and more severe than seasonal coronaviruses.

Ok. You are talking of SARS and I am talking of COVID-19.

 

[Yommie]

Ok. You are talking of SARS and I am talking of COVID-19.

SARS coronavirus type 2 is a common cold virus. SARS coronavirus type 1 is not.

 

[Yommie]

Ok. You are talking of SARS and I am talking of COVID-19.

SARS is caused by SARS coronavirus type 1. COVID-19 is caused by SARS coronavirus type 2. Despite its name, SARS coronavirus type 2 does NOT cause SARS.

COVID-19 is a kind of common cold. SARS is not a kind of common cold.

SARS has kill rate 10%. COVID-19 has kill rate 0.000001%, and almost all of that is really old people.

Let's look at the impact of covid-19 using data from India. The table below shows the census data of India for the last few decades and we can see that India's population growth has been accelerating.

We have taken every four years as a statistical interval, with the largest increase being in 2015/2019, which increased from 1322866505 to 1383112050, an increase of 60,245,545 people in those four years.

According to the growth trend 2019/2023, India should add more people to its population than it did in 2015/2019. But India has just increased its population from 1383112050 to 1428627663 in 2019/2023, which is only 45515613.


Considering the expected growth of 60245545 and the actual growth of 45515613, at least 14729932 Indians have disappeared in this four-year storm of covid-19.

14.7 million people, more than 1% of Indians died due to covid-19, not the 0.000001% announced by the US government. You can also ask those Indians who lived through the covid-19 storm if they believe in the 1% death rate that I have calculated.

btw: If the Indian census data is correct, and the 0.000001% published by the US government is also correct. Then it can only mean one thing, covid-19 is a viral weapon designed for Asian genetics.

There is no evidence COVID-19 was ever more severe than common cold.

Why all the nasty animal viruses come from China.
I guess they should stop eating every moving thing on this planet.

Not gonna happen. Chinese will continue to do that. No one can stop them.
