Dr. Sam Lee, Co-CEO of Cocrystal Pharma, is an expert in developing small-molecule antiviral drugs to treat COVID-19, Norovirus, influenza, avian flu, West Nile virus, Dengue, Zika, and other RNA viruses. Cocrystal uses its structure-based drug discovery platform to identify promising drug targets for potent broad-spectrum oral and inhaled antiviral therapeutics. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for vaccines and effective therapeutics to respond to viral outbreaks and prevent further transmission. Sam elaborates, "Before we talk about avian flu, let's just step back up about the strains. Influenza, as you know, includes influenza A strains, influenza B, and the C. But the public health point of view is the influenza A strains are important. These cause the pandemic flu, as well as the seasonal flu. Influenza B is roughly less than 20% of flu patients that have this influenza B. It's seasonal. It doesn't cause a pandemic influenza infection." "So we're talking about avian flu. Avian flu is mostly an influenza A strain. So, it's often classified as H5N1 or H7N9, depending on the antigen. So, why is it so important? We know this year that people isolate the avian H5N1 from cow and cow milk and humans. Avian flu is normally avian influenza that stays with the birds, the wild birds. What we see here is already past the host barrier. So instead of staying with avian, the birds, or domestic animals, now it's passed to a human. So it's a serious issue that the avian flu, H5N1, actually we see here, not only cow and farm workers are infected with it. That's a really serious concern." "We believe we have a pretty good understanding. If you look at the 1918 Spanish flu, that was actually classified as an H1N1, but several years ago, with a beautiful molecular analysis, people completed the sequencing analysis with the patient sample from 1918 Spanish flu victims. They isolated the gene. They showed that even those with H1N1 contained the avian flu sequence." #CocrystalPharma #AvianFlu #Influenza #WestNileVirus #AntiviralTherapeutics #RNAViruses #COVID19 CocrystalPharma.com Download the transcript here

El presente episodio es de vital importancia para comprender, al igual que evidenciar, cómo los acontecimientos que han tenido lugar especialmente desde finales del año 2019 (Operación COVID-19) fueron algo absolutamente programado de antemano. Tendremos ocasión de escuchar un misterioso comunicado enviado a una empresa consultora financiera ubicada en Florida. Una extraña misiva cuya procedencia es desconocida, pero que merece la pena tener en consideración, especialmente en estos tiempos. Presentaremos hasta 14 evidencias específicas que demuestran que los acontecimientos vividos durante estos últimos años forman parte de una agenda y un plan perfectamente diseñado: 1 – 1995: El Doctor Pierre Gilbert a través de una conferencia denuncia que a través de vacunas obligatorias pretenden llevar a cabo un plan de control poblacional. 2 – 2003: Michael C. Rupert, ex oficial de policía de Los Ángeles (Estados Unidos), emite un informe mediante el cual denuncia un futuro plan de despoblación mediante armas biológicas, mencionando el SARS. 3 – 2005: Bill Ryan comparte públicamente una información transmitida por un confidente francmasón, quien en el año 2005 estuvo presente en una reunión de igualmente francmasones en la cual se indicaban los futuros planes a desarrollar. Dicha información fue emitida por primera vez en el año 2010 y se exponía cómo China literalmente “cogería un resfriado” que pudiera expandirse por el resto del mundo. 4 – 2009: La Doctora Rima Laibow advirtió que “se está preparando una pandemia a nivel mundial y pronto nos enfrentaremos a la vacunación obligatoria forzosa bajo términos engañosos”. 5 – 2010: Aparece el informe “Scenarios for the future of technology and international development pdf” con la “Operación Lockstep” de la Fundación Rockefeller y Global Business Network, en el que se habla de una pandemia exactamente igual a la de COVID-19. 6 – 2014: El periodista de investigación Harry Vox avisa de que nos tienen preparada una pandemia mundial con vacunas obligatorias forzosas. Concretamente hace referencia al documento de la fundación Rockefeller – Operación Lockstep. 7 – 2017: Posiblemente una de las evidencias más aplastantes y es que Anthony Fauci (el principal especialista en enfermedades infecciosas del gobierno de Estados Unidos) fue documentado en la Universidad de Georgetown diciendo que habrá una pandemia a la que se enfrentará esta presidencia (en aquel momento la de Donald Trump). Según sus propias palabras “No hay duda de que habrá un desafío para la próxima administración en el ámbito de las enfermedades infecciosas”, dijo que se produciría un “brote sorpresa” durante la administración de Trump. 8 – 2019: Se produce el ejercicio de planificación Crimson Contagion realizado por el Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos de Estados Unidos, el cual involucró a 12 estados y al menos una docena de Agencias Federales. El escenario del ejercicio funcional Crimson Contagion 2019 se basó en un nuevo virus de influenza A (H7N9) que se origina en China. 9 – 2019: El 7 de agosto del 2019 muere Kary Mullis, premio Nobel e inventor de la prueba RT/PCR (la que utiliza la OMS para el Covid-19). Denunció que su prueba no servía para determinar enfermedad infecciosa alguna y era un gran detractor de personajes como Anthony Fauci. 10 – 2019: Tan pronto como el 12 de septiembre de 2019, la Comisión Europea estaba organizando la primera Cumbre Mundial sobre Vacunación, en asociación con la OMS y la industria de las vacunas, de la cual la Fundación Bill y Melinda Gates es un pilar. Esto fue tres meses antes del inicio de una epidemia que ha sido un formidable acelerador de ganancias para toda una industria. 11 – 2019: En octubre la Fundación Bill y Melinda Gates organiza el Evento 201, en el que se simula una pandemia, casualmente, por un derivado de coronavirus y que casualmente también se inicia en China y se extiende por todo el mundo. 12 – 2019: El 17 de noviembre aparece el primer caso del que se tiene registro de un hombre de 55 años con Covid-19 en la provincia de Hubei, China. La enfermedad se propagó a nivel mundial en enero de 2020 supuestamente debido a un murciélago infectado en la provincia de Wuhan, China. 13 – 2019: El 23 de noviembre de 2019, Milken Institute publicó un video de casi una hora de duración con un panel de expertos en salud (Anthony Fauci y otros) que discutieron los nuevos esfuerzos para crear vacunas universales contra la influenza y destapan lo que tenían preparado para el 2020. 14 – 2019: Diciembre. El Congreso de los Estados Unidos redefinió la palabra “vacuna” para incluir inyecciones de ARNm. Hasta entonces, la definición oficial del gobierno para la palabra “vacuna” no incluía la tecnología de ARN mensajero. Esta serie de evidencias, las cuales contemplaremos en detalle, son suficientes para disipar cualquier duda en torno a la programación e intencionalidad de los eventos. También analizaremos un de nuevo conflicto que por desgracia está asolando Oriente Medio, cobrando inocentes vidas en Israel y Palestina, el cual parece haber sido reactivado mediante una operación de falsa bandera.

In this episode of Transmission Interrupted, we continue our Pathogens in Pop Culture series with an intriguing dive into the world of special pathogens in literature. Dr. Caitlin Rivers, senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, joins us to examine the science behind the use of special pathogens in popular literature. We'll also examine the importance of adhering to reality or fictionalization when writing about pathogens and the power of storytelling in promoting public health practices.GuestCaitlin Rivers, PhD, MPHDr. Rivers is a Senior Scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Health and Engineering at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. She is an epidemiologist specializing in preparedness and response for epidemics, pandemics, and deliberately occurring events. Dr. Rivers recently returned from an appointment as founding associate director of the Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).Dr. Rivers has testified in front of the United States Congress on several occasions and is a frequent advisor to senior leaders at the state and federal levels. She served on the Biden-Harris Presidential Transition Team working on COVID-19 policies. Her writing has been published in the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and USA Today.During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Rivers participated as author or contributor in influential reports that are guiding the US pandemic response, including National Coronavirus Response: A Roadmap to Reopening and Public Health Principles for a Phased Reopening During COVID-19: Guidance for Governors, the latter of which was used by the National Governors Association, the state of Maryland, and Washington, DC, to guide reopening plans.Prior to joining the Center in 2017, Dr. Rivers worked as an epidemiologist for the US Army Public Health Center as a Department of Defense Science, Mathematics, and Research for Transformation Scholar. She also participated in a National Science and Technology Council Pandemic Prediction and Forecasting Science and Technology working group. Dr. Rivers serves as an Associate Editor of the journal Health Security.Dr. Rivers has been awarded the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Faculty Award for Excellence in US Public Health Practice; the Department of the Army Achievement Medal for Civilian Service; and a Department of Defense Science, Engineering, Mathematics and Research Transformation Scholarship. In 2015, she earned a PhD in genetics, bioinformatics, and computational biology from Virginia Tech. Her doctoral research focused on computational epidemiology, specifically modeling emerging infectious diseases such as avian influenza A (H7N9), Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and Ebola virus disease for public health support using nontraditional, publicly available sources of data. Dr. Rivers received an MPH with a concentration in infectious disease from Virginia Tech in 2013 and a BA in anthropology from the University of New Hampshire in 2011.HostsLauren Sauer, MScLauren is an Associate Professor in the College of Public Health, Department of Environmental, Agricultural, and Occupational Health, at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Core Faculty of the UNMC Global Center for Health Security.

Vidcast: https://youtu.be/BuTi67hB7HY The biomedical researchers at Georgia State University have designed a universal flu vaccine containing less variable proteins from both Influenza A and B virus including the multi-neuraminidase proteins and the universally present M2 ectodomain protein. This vaccine has, to date, only been tested on mice but it was found to protect them from infection by a slew of diverse influenza viruses that include the influenza A seasonal variants H1N1, H5N1, H3N2, H9N2 and H7N9 as well as the Yamagata and Victoria lineage influenza B viruses. The next step: testing in ferrets that possess respiratory tracts similar to humans. Then, no doubt, on to the clinic. https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/journal.ppat.1010755 #influenza #universalvaccine #influenzaA #influenzaB
According to an exclusive report from Natalie Winters at the National Pulse, it turns out that the Wuhan Institute of Virology assembled a monkeypox virus genome that allowed the virus to be identified through PCR tests, but since the researchers said that there was no monkeypox in China, they did it using a method that artificially creates fragments of the virus—which is a technique that researchers have flagged for potentially creating a “contagious pathogen.” This was done several months before the current outbreak. Furthermore, also in Wuhan, researchers there have just published a new study showing that the top researchers at the Institute of Virology appeared to be once again engaged in a form of gain-of-function research—by manipulating the H7N9 virus to be more lethal in mice and chickens. ⭕️ Sign up for our NEWSLETTER and stay in touch

Remember, when you give a vaccine to millions of people, side effects that only have a one in a million chance of occurring are going to be discovered (yes, I know that's not how the math works out here, it's just an expression).Given that Guillain-Barre is also a potential side effect for Covid, as well as many other known potential long-term effects, I'd still take my chances with the J&J vaccine. It is also an important part of the public health aspect of the vaccinations - being a single dose vaccine, it is the preferred brand for people that are more likely to miss an appointment for a second dose - like the homeless, for instance.
In this interview of Sue Grey, lawyer from Nelson who has also researched Health issues and has a degree in biochemistry, we learn that things are definitely not as they seem. She has been an activist on the battle front over the last decade endeavouring to bring transparency to so many of the issues that now are bearing down on us and now - totally surround us. She is also the Co leader of the OutDoors Party - Outdoorsparty.co.nz - and sees clearly that humanity and the ecology of our entire biosphere is at the crossroads of either we come together as a ‘conscious’ caring humanity - and in essence a global family … or continue down the path of becoming victims to corporations in cahoots with captured Government - who themselves are caught up in their own self serving agenda to not truly engage and empower the community from the grass roots up. When did you hear them mention ‘empowering the grass roots?’ To relocalise and work cooperatively with NZ’s communities? I start by thanking Sue for her continuous selfless effort to want to educate the NZ people on ‘other’ specific health issues that are being ignored by the Government and Health Boards. As a lawyer, she could have gone into the corporate structure and become very successful, but she knows that we as a planetary civilisation are at the precipice and as a mother she wants a healthy future and planet for her children. I wish we had more people both male and female in NZ who are committed as we need more conscious people engaged and activated. Lock Down - Vaccinate - Reset Today, sadly - it appears that Western governments globally are working towards locking down their people. With no apparent let up. This is taking away choice - freedom to choose. Whereas Freedom is one thing - but, it’s also a great ‘discipline’ for us as well. The issues Sue has been involved in lately is the calling for transparency due to the rapid deployment of 5G - in relation to the lack of research on health and what is the accumulative effect on humans, animals, birds, insects and the vegetable kingdom? Now Covid and Water Control have impinged on her valuable time. These below are some of the questions and answers that came up during this interview. That due to time constraints it has been impossible to transcribe this interview - however I trust that ‘you are able to listen’ as there is much valuable information that you need to know. Because, if you wish to know the full context of what she conveys - please listen - it is only the memory equivalent of 3 or 4 photographs This link below was a very recent presentation to the NZ Parliamentary Health Committee by Sue and Alan Simmons of the Out Doors Party - on both questioning and stopping the taking of our water rights away from us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct-AJNY6nT8 In today's interview, Sue was asked that when she was a candidate in the last election here in NZ, did the Labour Government mention or signal back then that if they remained in power they would fluoridate and chlorinate NZ’s water supplies throughout the nation? Was this in their manifestos? She said that as far as she knows - this was never flagged or mentioned. This being the case, is this not deceitful of our Government to now set about doing this virtually behind our backs? Because this is a gigantic issue that affects the health of the whole nation. Is this what has become of NZ’s socialist Labour Government ? If David Lange ex PM of the 4th Labour government had been alive today, he would surely call his own party out? Was it Labour’s intention to always want to Nationalise more private property? Tim mentions that when he was a teenager living near Matamata, in a farming community, the big statement then among some farmers and those involved in small business, was that Labour would eventually, one day - want to nationalise all of our farms, because they were socialists. But, for now they are wanting water … Thus the question, have our elected representatives in Wellington - run away with their own political party agenda and subtly, but very clearly made it known to all party MP’s that they must not go against the party dictate? Even if the electorate that the MP specifically represents have got an alternative view point and want their elected servant to openly debate that alternative. ‘Toe the party line is the name of the game, especially if you want an interrupted steady income for life.’ Nationalising all Drinking Water Nationwide? So now we have Labour moving to nationalise our water - and it appears all other parliamentarians (the opposition) are silent. That the Labour Government wants control of all water taken away from District Councils and have the Government through the Department of Health control this life giving resource - the natural commons. Whereas for generations across NZ the District Councils are elected and are answerable to the local electorate. The people. This current situation means centralising Government power towards a ‘command & control’ economy. Like that of the ex Soviet Union. This is where the Central Government can now dictate what it does to our water such as chlorinate and fluoridate all water that is for drinking. Yes, they have their standardised ‘scientific’ viewpoints but there is ample evidence that fluoridation affects children’s intellectual capabilities. See GreenplanetFM.com - https://www.ourplanet.org/greenplanetfm/dr-paul-connett-dr-vyvyan-howard-declan-waugh-fluoride-is-a-neurotoxin-that-reduces-iq-of-children Then scroll on down to the bottom of this page and there are three other GreenplanetFM.com - links on fluoride. Even if it’s rainwater from your roof or a spring somewhere on your land, it will come under Government control. This time to add chlorination. Because the Government Health Department who are not elected officials will do the bidding of the Government in power. Which is strange - because for years now - multinational corporations have been extracting water out of various rural areas that have ‘water rights’ situated across NZ. This has been happening for many years and all that water has been free of charge other than a minuscule rental fee. Thus ambiguity continues to this day. Here is an interview of this. https://www.ourplanet.org/greenplanetfm/niki-gladding-should-new-zealand-be-bottling-our-water-and-sending-it-overseas The Commons Sue mentions the Magna Carta of 1297 in England. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magna_Carta - stating that ‘water is in essence a human right’ and that it cannot be taken over as it is an integral part of the web of life and the ‘Global Commons. Listen. The ‘Commons’ needs to be taught at all levels of the educational curriculum - so that NZers become aware of its importance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commons COVID - this was the 2nd part of the interview. With regard to the Covid equation Sue mentions that the Government has not complied with the legal requirements to further this Government's agenda it now wants to use lockdowns, when appropriate or needed and to roll out vaccinating the whole country. She has a link on www.outdoorsparty.co.nz - for you to see more. As a result of this interview - the following is an opinion piece by Tim - apologies for the poor grammar and structure - due to time constraints Wearing the Public Down Today rapid change is being forced upon us - usually by corporate expansion and enterprise and abetted by government - especially in the cases of new technologies or land developments etc. These are being continuously deployed or actioned and are forcing change due to their financial power, control and connections. In NZ the Government ‘does its bit’ by asking for submissions from the NZ public. However after decades of being continually ‘on the back foot’ - the concerned and aware public are tired, under resourced and time constrained to have to ‘continually’ complete submissions or sign petitions, that have time constraints on them - that it has become an energy sapping process of continued letter writing, going to meetings, rallies and protests with placards and signs. This is a ‘controlled’ game that the Government carry on because ‘they are all fully paid’ during all these times. As the upper controlling echelons of these political parties always remain in power - for decades. Whilst the struggling electorate are unpaid and continually volunteer to stand up for the rights of the children of today and future generations - as well as the land and the sacredness of the environment, that sustains our very bodies. It should be incumbent on those wanting to change the laws or release new technologies - that they pay for the public costs of submissions. User pays. With the Government tying us down in having to write time consuming submissions, attending meetings etc, we have to ask, who really knows anything about the ones who have been chosen (hand picked) to read or listen to these submissions - who may not necessarily be fair adjudicators or discerning of what is being conveyed, or lack the capabilities of being impartial. Hence more and more people within the community don’t believe these officials will carry their concerns forward, but instead defer to the status quo. The System is Designed to Wear Us Down. This is a carefully crafted game-plan devised by powerful interests - corporations/bankers in lockstep with whatever current Government is in power, to continually put the populace on the back foot and ‘wear them down’. Because they have the resources and connections to power, big money, lawyers etc they eventually steam roll the little person and the ordinary man into submission. Meanwhile, the politicians draw their salary, smug in the thought that they are above it all, and are still ‘seen to be giving the people a chance’ - to voice their opinion. This is where 21st century politics has descended and no wonder people have become cynical of the political process. What is Agenda21 and Agenda2030 We now have Agenda21 and Agenda2030 being sneakily enacted (infiltrated) across the country whilst an unconscious NZ public are totally distracted with countless other issues. Especially with Covid, contact tracing and the population being ‘readied’ for mass vaccinations, (and there may not be any trace of the Covid19 in the vaccine itself). There is so much going on. However the ‘astute’ people within the NZ public have gone around MSM and via Social Media (and it has its pitfalls) - and these people are wising up. Especially now since the Governments open door immigration policies - these many new immigrants are realising that back in their country of birth - the Covid ‘thing’ - is taking many various and strange twists - see what’s happening in Israel, Britain and South Africa but essentially all of Europe and that the farmers of India are not becoming infected! Check out Globalresearch.ca - in this case - https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-2020-worldwide-corona-crisis-destroying-civil-society-engineered-economic-depression-global-coup-detat-and-the-great-reset/5730652 The Wellbeing Budget, though a World First is it a Red Herring? At present the current NZ Government has a ‘Wellbeing Budget’ which is touted as a world leading initiative - and it is - it sounds fantastic, warm, and signifies compassion. That it is produced by a Government that cares and is kind - but look behind it and there is another story. It parallels all the ubiquitous orange cones that you constantly see on so many roads and streets throughout NZ. They are training us and conditioning us to ‘stay in line’ and to obey and stop on demand. To slow us down. It’s a program that is deftly applied under the theme of public safety. The Wellbeing Budget has some exceptionally good contingencies but it’s a red herring to showcase that the Labour lead government supposedly cares. Yet, if it is truly honest it will show health statistics that are going through the roof - Sugar usage in food and drink increases, cheap unhealthy cooking oils, obesity increases, junk food increases, medication for depression increases, divorce increases, family violence increases, mental health increases, tooth decay - suicides (numbers are now suppressed etc) Accomodation costs increases, housing increases, immigration to pay for escalating infrastructure increases. It will also show the increased use of Monsanto’s glyphosate to spray complete paddocks ‘orange’ and that much of the Recycling System is being surreptitiously hidden in landfills. Even the continued poison 1080 use and who actually owns this company. The list goes on and the snowball gathers pace, whilst every day Joe Sixpack and Caroline Cardigan - grimly stare into their 72 inch telly, programmed and hypnotised by the 6pm news and worried that the All Blacks rugby team may lose and that their pizza delivery better not be late … Here is Dr Ron Colman being interviewed in July 2018 on ‘genuine success indicators’ - this will bring home what it is meant to have transparent government and the challenges in implementing such a far reaching and important policy. https://www.ourplanet.org/greenplanetfm/ron-colman-genuine-economic-indicators Is the NZ Media Captured by the State? New Zealanders who are in their late 60’s, 70’s and 80’s realise from past experience that the NZ media seems to be coming part of the system’ - nearly like Pravda and Izvestia that were the mouthpiece of the failed Soviet Union and the communist agenda. That NZ media appears to be toeing the government line and we have to ask is it daily edging closer towards George Orwell's 1984? They have recently received $50 million from this Government and have tame journalists that will not question any discrepancies that Sue Grey points out in the Covid roll out. Especially within the acquiescent parliamentary press gallery. This Government has made financial handouts to MSM to keep them silent especially with the 5G health narrative and now with Covid and the planned vaccination of every soul that inhabits Aotearoa. There are more questions than answers that are being ignored. Phone and book a time and take a delegation to visit your MP at their electoral office, don’t go alone - because unity is strength. Tell them that their vote hinges on ‘this meeting.’ COVID Doctors here in NZ will not speak out about Covid Vaccines because the NZ Medical Association answers to big Pharma - which is basically based in America but with ties to Britain and other pharmaceutical corporations in Europe. Which in essence is a global control mechanism that goes back to ties to the Rockefeller’s in the USA. Hence Doctors are too afraid to speak their minds because they are terrified that they will have their license to practice revoked. This is a worldwide phenomenon and Big Pharma is in essence a legalised drug cartel and they are totally against any natural therapies because these cannot be patented. So whenever you see your doctor - he or she is very constrained in what they can say for fear of losing their licence and basically become unemployable. Note that John D Rockefeller and his son David, who recently died at 104 were ardent uses of homeopathy - just like the British Royal Family. Can you connect some dots here? Note, hydroxychloroquine was mentioned as a cure for covid especially if you got to the patient within the first 24 hours or so. However Big Pharma instantly came out globally and clamped down on it and actually stopped it being sold here in NZ even though hydroxychloriquine has been on the market here for over 20 years. Remember how Dr Simone Gold and America's Front Line Doctors were excoriated by the US Corporate controlled media, for even mentioning that this was a cure for covid - such is the power of Big Pharma in lockstep with the 6 media conglomerates that control the US and the 7th being the BBC out of Britain. A Global Government Coup? In the interview with Bill Watson 3 weeks ago - he mentioned that we are in the middle of a global coup especially in the West. However controlled MSM does not focus on this at all (Why would they? As they are the communication arm for it) - and in fact do everything to obscure the fact - choosing to give us scattered news items that distract us into a fragmented understanding of the global situation. Unbeknown to most, there is a battle going on for the soul of our planet, by those that do not believe in soul, or are anti-soul. Bill intimated for those adept enough to grok the big picture that under the guise of Covid - the plan is that Bill and Melinda Gates are to vaccinate the whole human race with an untested vaccine that more and more independent and courageous doctors are saying - is not even a vaccine. Note that Sue in this Interview says’ that there is no responsibility by the vaccine manufacturers in the case of any health or death issues that may result.’ They get a free pass. Listen to her share how Grant Robertson our Government Minister brought this in. Sue says anyone who takes the vaccine is part of a global experiment. The Great Reset This is also the ‘planned’ time for the Great Reset. This has been touted by the World Economic Forum out of Davos Switzerland - to be put in place across the whole Western world. (and eventually beyond) This being ‘guided’ by Klaus Schwab as the only way forward and this will bring us the digital currency - and the end of the fiat cash regime and that we will not have any cash. ‘That we will eventually not own anything and that we will be (laughably) - happy.’ The end result will be that we will be living in the Fourth Industrial revolution where the Surveillance State will become the Security State all connected in the ubiquitous silent 24/7/365 day silent hum of 5G wireless frequencies that will interfere with our bodies health - but this does not matter because we are also in the midst of a depopulation agenda that Roy Harlow so sadly over the last two weeks expounded on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Guidestones When you die before the vaccine - you only die of COVID - when you die after the vaccine - you die by everything but the vaccine … It’s an Experimental Vaccine The Vaccine manufactures have no liability if any injuries or deaths occur. The vaccine manufactures have it both ways - a free pass, to both riches and no responsibility. No responsibility for ongoing daily health Health - the NZ Government Health Authorities are not telling us how to be healthy - by taking brisk walks in nature swimming - being barefoot on the grass, breathing fresh air - eating vital organic food, drinking unsanitised ‘vital’ water - Yes it’s expensive - but get innovative and grow food in tubs - take some time out in sunshine and taking vitamin C. It is relatively cheap now. Eating Supermarket Factory and Industrial food is not going to bring ultimate health and vitality to your being. Use this as your search engine. DUCKDUCKGO.com - for all your searches - far more than Google as it does not censor. The vaccine was not brought in for COVID - COVID was brought in for the Vaccine - once you understand this - everything makes sense. Higher discernment . Always important … so we encourage you to do your own research … Also - How much joy do you experience? - Tim and Sue talk health and wellbeing and that we have to take time to regroup internally and that meditation and prayer are important to becoming present.

At the outset, Dr. Yeadon said “I’m well aware of the global crimes against humanity being perpetrated against a large proportion of the worlds population. “I feel great fear, but I’m not deterred from giving expert testimony to multiple groups of able lawyers like Rocco Galati in Canada and Reiner Fuellmich in Germany. “I have absolutely no doubt that we are in the presence of evil (not a determination I’ve ever made before in a 40-year research career) and dangerous products. “In the U.K., it’s abundantly clear that the authorities are bent on a course which will result in administering ‘vaccines’ to as many of the population as they can. This is madness, because even if these agents were legitimate, protection is needed only by those at notably elevated risk of death from the virus. In those people, there might even be an argument that the risks are worth bearing. And there definitely are risks which are what I call ‘mechanistic’: inbuilt in the way they work. “But all the other people, those in good health and younger than 60 years, perhaps a little older, they don’t perish from the virus. In this large group, it’s wholly unethical to administer something novel and for which the potential for unwanted effects after a few months is completely uncharacterized. “In no other era would it be wise to do what is stated as the intention. “Since I know this with certainty, and I know those driving it know this too, we have to enquire: What is their motive? “The good news is that there are multiple choices available: hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, budesonide (inhaled steroid used in asthmatics), and of course oral Vitamin D, zinc, azithromycin etc. These reduce the severity to such an extent that this virus did not need to become a public health crisis.” Moderna Chief Medical Officer Admits mRNA Alters DNA by Suzanne Hamner Several prominent physicians, doctors, Sons of Liberty Media Health and Wellness expert Kate Shemirani, her colleague Dr. Kevin Corbett, and I have postulated that the current experimental mRNA injection for coronavirus, aka COVID-19, could alter one’s genetic code or DNA. Bill Gates stated it, which was included in my video “Human Genome 8 and mRNA Vaccine” on Brighteon.com. It is one reason the term “experimental human genome altering mRNA injection” has been used to describe the jab being foisted onto the mostly unsuspecting public. While many in the media, Dr. Anthony Fauci and his merry band of chronic liars, and “fact checkers” have declared this claim as false, a video of a TEDx Beacon Street talk by Tal Zaks, chief medical officer of Moderna, Inc., one pharmaceutical company manufacturer of the experimental mRNA technology injection, confirms mRNA injection for COVID-19 can change your genetic code or DNA. This TEDx Beacon Street talk occurred in 2017. H/T to YouTube channel Silview Media Backup Channel. Zaks calls it “hacking the software of life”. In the first minute of the video Zaks states, “we’ve been living this phenomenal digital scientific revolution, and I’m here today to tell you, that we are actually hacking the software of life, and that it’s changing the way we think about prevention and treatment of disease.” [Emphasis mine.]He even repeats that they (Moderna) think of it like an operating system, which the Moderna website indicates as “Our Operating System”.At one minute in, Zaks states, “In every cell there’s this thing called messenger RNA or mRNA for short, that transmits the critical information from the DNA in our genes to the protein, which is really the stuff we’re all made out of. This is the critical information that determines what the cell will do. So we think about it as an operating system. …. So if you could actually change that, … if you could introduce a line of code, or change a line of code, it turns out, that has profound implications for everything, from the flu to cancer.” [Emphasis mine.]When “changing” a line of code or “introducing” a line of code” (referring to DNA), the “code” or DNA is then altered, meaning the individual or “subject” has now had their genome changed to what the “scientists” have coded. The individual or subject is no longer a creation of God but a creation of man, meaning the individual or subject could be the object of a “patent”. He goes on to say, the mRNA would tell the cells to “code” for the protein of the “virus”. This “viral protein” is foreign to the body. The individual’s body is making a foreign protein the immune system is to attack. When the body makes a protein the immune system then attacks, your immune system is attacking a protein your body is making, meaning what is occurring in an “auto-immune response” or “auto-immune disease”.This has been repeated a number of times by experts, physicians, nurses and countless others. As readers can see, none of us were “whistling Dixie”. Zaks talks about turning this system on; however, there is no way to turn it off. When do the cells know to stop making this “viral protein”? The cells don’t; therefore, this continues for the duration. In a normal vaccine, the immune system attacks the limited amount of “particles” in the adjuvant to produce antibodies or immune response that the body can recognize at a later time if the individual comes in contact with the same or similar “particle”.The study Zaks cites at the 3:12 minute mark can be found and read here. The abstract is contained on the NIH Pub Med Library website. In the full test of the study on ResearchGate, the mention of “Luciferase” occurs on page 10. A crucial piece of information in this study is contained on page 4 – “Ferrets immunized with 200 micrograms and challenged [exposed to influenza H7N9 via IN (intranasal)] on day 49 had viral loads below the level of detection”. If a viral load was “below the level of detection”, two questions emerge: 1) did the ferrets even contract H7N9 through intranasal challenge; and, 2) if a viral load is below the level of detection, how do you know the animals even had a viral load? This would bring into question the efficacy of the injection. Moreover, the studies Zaks cites as occurring in humans only lasted approximately 18 months.At about the 4:00 minute mark, Zaks begins discussing mRNA vaccines for cancer. Immediately following that, Zaks discusses a children’s condition where a gene or “code” is missing that causes production of a certain enzyme critical for metabolism where the current treatment is to transplant an entire organ – in this case, the liver. Zaks proposes to inject mRNA that codes for the missing gene, a gene contained in DNA on the human genome, it would “correct” the genetic defect.Ask this question: what causes the cells/body to produce needed enzymes/proteins? Zaks answers that by saying the genetic code or DNA. So, mRNA has to alter a genetic code or the DNA for the body to produce the proteins of COVID-19 for the body to mount an immune response.Out of the words of Tal Zaks of Moderna, mRNA can alter the human genome. Whether by design or “unintended consequences”, this technology is being used to do just that. He calls this “information therapy”; although, some would call it “mad science”. In attempts to “rewrite” genetic code to correct defects, studies have shown there were “cascading failures”. In other words, changing one “defective gene” in one genome caused other genes to “fail” or cause problems. And, it was not just one subsequent gene becoming defective, but many. This is more than likely why there are over 400 adverse events surrounding the experimental mRNA injection.So, the next time someone claims these “vaccines” do not alter the human genome or DNA, you can refer that individual to Tal Zaks of Moderna, Inc. who claims otherwise. Dr. Fauci should be eating some four and twenty blackbird (crow) pie.
Nella puntata 349 Marco e Valeria ci raccontano della nuova scoperta dell'esperimento LHCb che suggerisce l'esistenza dei leptoquark e finalmente viola il modello standard. In prossimità della Pasqua Andrea, Silvia e Ilaria ci parlano poi del cioccolato, dalle origini all'uso in cucina. Tornati in studio dopo l'immancabile barza brutta inventata ad hoc da Marco parliamo di influenza aviaria e di a cosa sono serviti esperimenti controversi svolti una decina di anni fa nei laboratori olandesi su H5N1.
The increase in commercial aviation and international travel means that pandemics now spread faster than ever before. Seasonal flu, zoonotic contagions such as Ebola, swine flu and avian flu (e.g. H5N1 and H7N9), respiratory syndromes such as SARS and MERS, and now COVID-19 (the 2019 novel coronavirus) have affected millions worldwide. Add the ever-present threat of terrorism and biological warfare, and the possibility of large proportions of your workforce being incapacitated is a lot stronger than you might think. How would your business fare if 50% or more of your employees, including those you rely on to execute your business continuity plan, were afflicted by illness – or worse? Although nothing can be done to prevent pandemics, their impact can be significantly mitigated. Business Continuity and the Pandemic Threat explains how.
A powerful primer on all matters pandemic pertinent, today Michael Greger, M.D., FACLM returns for his fourth appearance on the podcast to answer all your coronavirus queries and more.A graduate of Cornell University and Tufts University School of Medicine as well as a founding member and Fellow of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, Dr. Greger is the nutrition science wizard behind NutritionFacts.org — the world’s most authoritative, non-profit, science-based public service destination for all things nutrition, health and disease prevention.His massively popular books, including How Not to Die, How Not To Diet, and their cookbook analogues, all became instant New York Times Best Sellers and crowned Dr. Greger a media darling, his excitable face popping up everywhere from The Dr. Oz Show to The Colbert Report.Less well known is the fact that, prior to his focus on nutrition, Dr. Greger had an entire career as an internationally-recognized expert on public health. A specialist in emerging infectious diseases, he's been sounding the pandemic alarm for over a decade.Back then, nobody was listening. Now they are. To wit, Dr. Greger's latest release, How To Survive A Pandemic, now available in audiobook and kindle with a paperback version hitting the shelves August 18, forms the basis of today's conversation.Today's exchange is hyper focused on the public and political health disaster that is the novel coronavirus. The even more deadly impending H7N9 bird flu. And the common thread between these and other zoonotic diseases: humanity's broken relationship with animals.In general terms, I seize the opportunity to ask Dr. Greger his expert opinion on all my (and perhaps your) lingering questions about what exactly is happening. Where it started. Where it's going. How we prevent future pandemics. And how we survive this one. In specific terms, we explore:What is the difference between COVID-19 and a typical flu?How exactly is it being transmitted?Why do some fall gravely ill while others experience only mild symptoms?What is herd immunity and what is it going to take to get there?How do we make sure our immune response is intact and healthy?What is the effectiveness of Vitamin D and Zinc supplementation?Why are there so many tests, which one should I take and when should I consider getting tested?Should I be disinfecting everything (like my groceries)?How dangerous are airplanes?How important is hand washing?What exactly is the utility of masks and does it matter what kind of mask I wear? andWhat are the most effective things we should focus on for prevention?And perhaps the most fundamental question of all, how can we stop the emergence of pandemics in the first place?The answer begins with the dismantling of our industrialized factory farming infrastructure.Not only are America’s factory farms vile for the animals and the workers that slaughter them, but they are essentially breeding grounds for future pandemics. This is a call for the eradication of these systems--a moral imperative if we want to preserve not only our environment but the long-term viability of our species.This is an important, alarming, and downright terrifying moment of truth. So pay attention.The visually inclined can watch it all go down on YouTube. And as always, the audio version streams wild and free on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Jimmy Kolker, who ran the largest AIDS program in the world, discovered the power of diplomatic skills in saving lives during numerous worldwide health crises. So what happened in Wuhan? Have we "self-disarmed"?
“HeiQ Fresh, In one day of 6 hours of daylight in a normal standardized room, destroy up to 98% of the formaldehydes, thereby cleaning the air of toxic components, making them into fresh air components.” https://heiq.com/2019/12/04/new-technology-in-the-heiq-fresh-range-turns-curtains-into-air-purifiers/ Your next Shot Caller story, told by Carlo Centonze, CEO HeiQ Group in Switzerland (www.heiq.com), will enlighten you on their truly cutting edge, innovative and AFFORDABLE textiles that fight air pollution and fight viruses like the CoronaVirus, but also partnering with companies like Speedo to create elite swimwear; all the while, reducing waste and pollution in the apparel production supply chain! Carlo and his Co-founder Dr. Murray Height, created HeiQ in 2005 after a HIKE in the Swiss Alps where after a few days of intensive hike’s were told by their partners to keep a BIG distance due to the smell that wafted their way. Both Carlo and Dr. Height were graduates of ETH, one of the most prestigious science, technology, engineering and math schools in the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETH_Zurich With a very strong ethos around sustainability, HeiQ, under the leadership of Carlo and Dr. Height, has become a global leader in textile innovation creating some of the most effective, durable and high-performance textile technologies in the market today. In 2019, HeiQ was awarded the 2019 Swiss Environmental Award for HeiQ Clean Tech because of their solution to reduce environmental footprint of polyester dyeing by 30-40% in terms of saving 30-50% water, energy and CO2 emissions. But most importantly, reducing the cost to the manufacturers, creating an AFFORDABLE GREEN TECHNOLOGY! In a world of fast fashion, rising global temperatures, strained clean water resources and seriously unhealthy pollution levels, the fashion industry is ripe for this type of innovative solution. The clothing and textile industry has an ecological footprint which is far from sustainable. In 2017, the industry emits 1.7 billion tonnes of CO2 annually, is responsible for extensive water use and pollution, and produces 2.1 billion tonnes of waste annually. (source: WWF, Changing Fashion, The clothing and textile industry at the brink of radical transformation, 2017) https://www.wwf.ch/sites/default/files/doc-2017-09/2017-09-WWF-Report-Changing_fashion_2017_EN.pdf Carlo and I also discuss the gender balance or lack-there-of in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) as well as how the numbers currently break down at ETH. The last 12 hires at HeiQ have been women, but he makes it clear that their mission is to hire the best. But, he says, “That means we hire the best!” (gender not a factor) We talk about the many “near deaths” disruptive, new technologies go through, including HeiQ. Carlo also emphasizes how important it is to have good timing in addition to a cutting edge product or solution. https://www.amazon.com/Loonshots-Nurture-Diseases-Transform-Industries/dp/1250185963 Lastly and with unbelievable great timing, he announces their newest innovation, Viroblock NPJ03 antiviral textile technology which was tested effectively against the Coronavirus! “HeiQ Viroblock NPJ03 is a unique combination of vesicle and silver technologies designed to inhibit the growth and persistence of bacteria and viruses. The HeiQ vesicle technology targets lipid-enveloped viruses (such as coronavirus) providing rapid virus deactivation, while the HeiQ silver technology inhibits the replication of both bacteria and viruses. HeiQ Viroblock NPJ03 can be applied to a wide spectrum of textile surfaces including face masks, air filters, medical gowns, curtains, drapes, and more. Besides testing on human coronavirus (229E), HeiQ Viroblock NPJ03 also demonstrated dramatically improved reduction of virus infectivity against Influenza types H1N1, H5N1, H7N9, and also Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). For more information about Coronavirus, visit the CDC website. To learn more about HeiQ Viroblock, email us at info@heiq.com.” I am truly thrilled to be able to highlight stories like Carlos and Heiq’s, both from an innovation as well as a potential future investment perspective. While they are not currently a publicly traded company, we hope to see them in the not-so-distant future enter the public markets. Please share far and wide as the world needs to hear this story as well as be inspired to continue to carry the torch of innovators developing both profitable and purposeful companies! https://www.amazon.com/Purpose-Incorporated-Turning-Competitive-Advantage/dp/0692999639 https://digitalswitzerland.com/2016/07/12/founder-week-carlo-centonze-heiq/ https://heiq.com/

Ein Standpunkt von Peter König. Das neue Coronavirus, 2019-nCoV, auch COVID19 genannt, hat bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt rund 3.000 Menschen getötet und rund 87.000 weltweit infiziert, die überwiegende Mehrheit davon in China. Das Virus hat sich auf mindestens 56 Länder ausgebreitet. Die Epidemie ist weitgehend auf das chinesische Festland beschränkt. Während sich das Virus laut WHO auf mindestens 56 Länder ausgebreitet hat, ist die Zahl der bestätigten Fälle gering: 4691 bestätigte Fälle außerhalb des chinesischen Festlands. Was die westlichen Medien versäumen, ist die Tatsache, dass die Wahrscheinlichkeit besteht, dass das Virus in einem oder mehreren der zahlreichen US-Labors für biologische Kriegsführung vom Menschen hergestellt worden sein könnte. Die westlichen Medien schweigen auch darüber, dass das Virus anscheinend in hohem Maße ethnische Chinesen befällt, d.h. dass es speziell auf chinesische DNA abzielt. Fast alle Todesfälle und bestätigten Fälle in den 51 Ländern und Gebieten, in die das Virus sich ausgebreitet hat, sind chinesischen Ursprungs. Das Virus scheint sich zu verstärken, da es im Laufe der Zeit mutiert, was seine Kontrolle noch schwieriger macht. Wird es schließlich die "chinesischen DNA-Grenzen" durchbrechen und auch andere DNA-Typen, d.h. westliche "kaukasische" Menschen, befallen? Aber der Westen erwartet nun von chinesischen Wissenschaftlern und Bioforschern, dass sie die Epidemie überwinden und das Virus an einer weiteren Mutation hindern und damit das westliche Infektionsrisiko verringern. Trotz früher Hoffnungen, dass bald ein Impfstoff gefunden werden kann - bis jetzt gab es nur wenige Fortschritte in dieser Richtung. Kubas antivirales rekombinantes Interferon Alpha 2B (IFNrec) wurde jedoch von chinesischen Medizinern und Bioforschern zur Bekämpfung des Coronavirus ausgewählt. Interessanterweise war Interferon vor 39 Jahren in Kuba entdeckt worden, zu Beginn des kubanischen Biotechnologie-Programms im Jahr 1981. Aber es wird in der Welt nicht weit verbreitet eingesetzt, obwohl es unzählige Leben retten und unzählige Patienten (vor allem Diabetiker) heilen könnte, einfach wegen des US-Boykotts, der die Vermarktung von Medikamenten Made in Cuba nicht zulässt. Dennoch scheint die Infektionsrate von COVID19 in den letzten drei Wochen allmählich zurückgegangen zu sein. Und es besteht kein Zweifel, dass China diese Epidemie überwinden wird. Die Welt muss jedoch aufwachen, um zu erkennen, dass dies ein Akt der biologischen Kriegsführung sein könnte. Präzedenzfälle: Vogelgrippe, Afrikanische Schweinegrippe in China Allein in den letzten beiden Jahren, seit 2018, wurde China von mehreren Arten der Vogelgrippe (H7N4 und H7N9) heimgesucht und erst im Januar 2020 von einer weiteren Belastung, die durch die schwerwiegendere COVID-2019 überschattet wurde. Es gab auch einen Ausbruch der Afrikanischen Schweinegrippe (2018), bei dem Millionen von Schweinen getötet wurden. Und es gab eine massive Vernichtung von Nahrungsmitteln (2019 - hauptsächlich Mais und Sojabohnen) durch die so genannten "Armeewürmer". Um die Auswirkungen auf die Versorgung mit Schweinefleisch, Mais und Sojabohnen zu kompensieren, griff China auf die Einfuhr dieser Waren zurück - und der Großteil der Importe kam aus den USA..weiterlesen hier: https://kenfm.de/standpunkte-%e2%80%a2-china-ist-mit-der-covid-19-epidemie-konfrontiert-war-sie-von-menschenhand-gemacht/ +++ Jetzt KenFM unterstützen: https://www.patreon.com/KenFMde Dir gefällt unser Programm?

流感不是感冒！就像猫和老虎都是猫科动物。人类与自然界共存，这些和我们共存数百万年的微生物本来就在那里，我们既要对新变异的新病原产生警惕，但也不能对原本存在只不过被我们忽略的‘老朋友'产生过度的反应。我每天在为人类而焦虑人类如何抵抗传染病入侵？8000年前，我们人类突然获得了一种能力，我们知道了怎么去驯服动物和植物。第一个产生的最重要的驯服是小麦，小麦的出现，标志着农业社会的诞生，农业社会一诞生，人类就开始聚集。从那个时候开始，我们生活得更加美好，也更加艰难，为什么？人类只要聚集，所有的传染病，很多野生世界跟我们一起存在的病毒细菌，就有可能以一种爆发的态势去发展。有人写诗，就一定有人负重前行。谁在负重前行？就是我这样的人，一群叫做医生的人，每天在为人类而焦虑。所以我来告诉你散落在人类历史长河中的一些事。 天花、鼠疫、霍乱、麻风......1980年，人类宣布天花这个疾病没有了，但在这之前的几百年，人类只要碰到这个疾病，死亡率非常高，偶尔可以活下来的，那一定是麻脸。康熙生的就是这个病，但是他活下来了，康熙如果不活下来，我们的版图不会扩到这么远。所以历史上的任何一件小的事情，都要改变我们历史的进程。顺治帝因天花病逝，皇位传给了得过天花的康熙帝这些事你可能已经忘了，但我们整个免疫学界、防疫学界的医生都在做一件事——用疫苗灭绝天花。在世界上，我们广泛地接种天花疫苗，所以这个病历史上有，现在没有，这是人类灭绝的第一个传染病。欧洲鼠疫想必很多人都有所耳闻，这个疾病差点让整个欧洲都没有了。欧洲没了将是怎样一个世界呢？我们人类，至少资本主义世界的发展要延缓几百年，那是肯定的......那今天这个东西还有吗？有，但已经不构成威胁，那谁在帮你把这事给做了？是抗菌药物的发明。1945年，青霉素在全球开始广泛地使用，随后大量的抗菌药物开始出来。现在部分地区仍有鼠疫，但问题不大，因为我们有抗菌药物可以很好地治疗它。那你说还有事吗？有事。我们还会发现，大批大批村庄的人死去，原因是什么？霍乱就是传染病里面非常著名的02号传染病（01号传染病是天花）。整个村的人都因为用水问题而感染，生病以后就一直腹泻，腹泻到什么时候？腹泻到死亡。现在世界上有很多地区还是有，非洲、东南亚。那你说现在的中国为什么没有了？是因为有人把事给做了：一个是清洁饮用水；另一个是抗菌药物。我们一直会有一些孤立的村庄，比如麻风村。人类感染了一种叫麻风杆菌的细菌，并在整个村庄蔓延，你只要跟感染者握个手，你就是麻风了。为什么麻？神经系统全被这个细菌侵犯了。然后脸上都会长成类似我们看到这个样子：历史上著名的麻风病国王：耶路撒冷鲍德温四世人只要提到麻风都非常惧怕，那我们用一件什么事情把它给做了呢？我们用传统的流行病学的方法，把他给隔离起来，所有人隔离接受治疗，这个问题现在解决了。一百年都没有消灭的流感1918年第一次世界大战，美国军团过去的时候，突然带来一个病毒，这个病毒在整个欧洲蔓延，死亡人数高达2500万。然后这个病毒一直蔓延到阿拉斯加，整个欧洲，再回到美国。所以从1918年开始，人类就开始被流感所困扰。这个病毒哪里来？我们现在都知道这个病毒原来在人类社会是没有的，是自然界当中过来的。现在发现，它的很多基因是来自于禽的病毒，就是家畜。我们人类不是驯化动物吗，你跟它生活在一块，很多病毒杂交混合，所以一直会产生各式各样的新病毒。一旦有病毒突破了人和动物间的界限，它就变成在人当中可以传播的病毒。H1N1的病毒是1918年产生的。那时候在人类当中就一直在流行，今天人类能逃避它吗？显然不能。过去100年，1918年到现在为止，这个病毒每天在变，那现在有人把这个问题解决吗？解决不了，今天我们的疫苗、药物，都不能完全解决这个病毒。2009年，墨西哥流感，也叫猪流感，因为这个病毒是猪当中流行的，后来全球大流行。我们检测它的基因是多少？H1N1。跟1918年的基因非常相近。那么这个病毒，为什么现在我们不提了呢？因为它成了我们流感当中的一种，被当作季节性流感中的一种，也就是我默认你跟我一直存在，每年总归有一些人会死于这个病。有谁的日子是好过的呢？那么除此以外，你说是不是就我们中国日子挺难过的，美国人是不是挺好过的？不是的，只不过你不知道而已。其实每个人都很辛苦，美国人科技很发达，他们照样辛苦。美国宾馆里，经常会爆发军团菌。军团菌我们以前叫退伍军人病。退伍军人在一起很开心，很长时间没见面了，在一起吃个饭，然后这些老人全部得肺炎，而且没有药，都死掉了。美国的西尼罗病毒，它从纽约开始，从东到西一直在蔓延。那么感染以后呢？先是脑炎，然后活下来，接下来就是老年痴呆症，这就是西尼罗病毒。埃博拉，现在就有关系了。每天有大量的班机，从非洲飞到我们这里来，我们有大量的人到非洲去做生意，你还认为跟它还没关系吗？如果SARS重来，我们准备好了吗？2003年的北京像座空城，所有人都不知道这是什么东西，就被感染了。我们很多同事上午还好好的，明天他们告诉我他没了。我们根本就查不出来是什么病，那时候我们没能力啊。这是一个新的病毒，突然就来到这个世界，它是哪里来的？它是蝙蝠的病毒在果子狸中进化，进化出来一个新病毒，人类去吃果子狸时就传到了人身上，它突然获得了跨越人种界限的能力。我们中国当时那一年是怎么过的？日子很难过，难过到我们只能靠隔离，让病人死去或者活下来。我们用最原始的传染病隔离的方法，让一帮人活下来了，另一些人死掉了。明天等待我们的还有很多，抗菌素没有效的，耐药细菌的感染现在很厉害，全球性流行的流感，不知名病原体的入侵。我们准备好了没有？其实2003年以后，中国已经出现了很大的进步，我就是在这场瘟疫里面活过来的人。卫生体系出现大的改变，我们有很多新式的武器，世界上有的，我们医院里可能都有。我认为，将来我们还会碰到这样的事情。果然，2013年，又来了！上海都是这样的病人，不是SARS，是H7N9。H7N9又是什么样的一个东西，禽流感的变种，获得了在人类当中生存的能力，凶险跟SARS一样。第一个病人爆发、应对，我们搞清楚原来是鸡的病毒跟飞鸟的粪便弄到一起，这些病毒在鸡的身体里面，会获得杂交进化，进化出一个新病毒，在鸡当中可以生存，鸡不会生病，但在人当中，你会生很重的病。它获得了跨界传播的能力。没有装备，人类就会被欺负但是2017年又来了，那你肯定会问我，每一次新的一个病毒来了，你都这么辛苦的吗？不是的。2017年，这样一个病人来了之后，他说张老师我们以前在你这里看过，我现在已经不行了，气透不过来了。我们马上全副武装。所以，我们是有装备的人，没有装备，在这个世界上你就没法生存了！原始社会人类没有装备，所以人类一直被欺负。但是今天中国整个的卫生界浴火重生。每一个东西看着小小的，但是在肺里照一照、测一测，我们就能知道这是一个甲型流感，而且是H7N9。接下来，我马上把他进行隔离。2003年和现在最大的区别是什么？2003年我们也是这样全副武装，但我不知道是什么。但如今我知道是什么，全力以赴，精准治疗，这个病就好了。像这种事情，重点就是争分夺秒。现在很多有钱人去看什么羚羊大迁徙，看完以后回来生病了。比如这个老兄，从非洲回来后就开始生病，每天睡觉，连续睡了6个月，我见到他时他已经睡昏过去了。这是种什么病？非洲有种昏睡病。你肯定会问我，你既然知道这是昏睡病，你能治疗吗？我不能治疗，因为我没有药物。这个药物，世界上没有一个国家可以独立拥有，因为生病的人太少，只有世界卫生组织有，你能向世界卫生组织证明是这个病，这个药就免费给你。所以第一个24小时，我们要做一件事，就是把元凶给抓起来——我们在他骨髓、大脑、全血里面去找，居然找到了一条虫子。我打电话给美国的同事，他说估计就是这个虫了，如果在刚果东边，我们叫冈比亚锥虫，在西边叫罗得西亚锥虫。利用我所携带的全身装备，我们在48小时内把基因给拿到了。所以现在已经具备非常强大的基因锁定能力，锁定的是一个冈比亚锥虫。接下来，我们跟世界卫生组织通电话，世卫组织看到我们所有的证据：一条虫子的照片，一个基因的序列。认可了我们做的所有东西，并答应把药给我们。当这个药放在这个台子上的时候，正好72小时，所以我们完成了72小时的救援。危险一直都在去非洲玩，会碰到未灭菌的牛奶——布鲁菌病；去印度玩，会遇到没有清洁的饮用水——伤寒；去美国沙漠玩，会碰到真菌；......这些都是输入性疾病，真正碰到怎么办？我们事实上准备好了吗？在很大程度上，从2003年到现在，中国卫生界已经准备好了，但是你说100%吗？没有，因为我们永远不知道明天是什么。比如说有人去美国沙漠旅游，回来后身体里到处都是病灶，我们照出来后发现他感染了美国沙漠独有的播散性粗球孢子菌。还有这个病人，前一天去蒸鱼时手割破了，第二天手指就这个样子了，你知道这是什么菌吗？你如果不知道什么菌，这个手就得给截掉。在美国医学会的杂志里，遇到这个病例，基本上手都是要截掉的。但这个病人，我们24小时内诊断他是感染了创伤弧菌，用了有效的抗菌药物他就好了。还有一件事，有个养猪的人，把猪的脏水泼到眼睛里，眼睛就瞎掉了。当时我还不知道是什么东西，直接给他做了手术。后来发现这居然是一种猪疱疹病毒，猪疱疹病毒只在猪里面有的。人类驯化了猪，跟猪生活在一起，如今猪疱疹病毒跨界到人身上来了。所以在你的生活当中，这些突如其来的侵袭性病毒细菌，其实一直存在，风险也一直存在。中国卫生界浴火重生如果有一个跟SARS一样的话，我们应该怎么办呢？我今天给大家讲的这件事情，就是说人类社会很美好，但是我们的危险，一直是存在的，而且很多东西，可能是我们人类自己产生的。那么我们中国，一定会加强全球性传染病的一个监控，这是第一点。国家卫生系统要做得更好，我们中国是最适合把国家整个系统力量，做上去提供能量的。但是对我们民众我们自己，我觉得应该远离被污染的水源，远离被污染的地区。你如果到这种地区，要知道自我保护。在传染病流行期间，不要恐慌。现在跟2003年SARS已经不一样了，我相信非典之后的中国的传染病防治体系是日益强大了。所以我也相信，将来大家都可以非常美好地生活的，我们过着非常静好的时光，但是你在过着美好的生活的时候，一定不要忘记有一群人，就是我们这些人，在后面默默地在做这些事

On the September 9 airing of the Outbreak News This Week Radio Show, I am joined by two great guests. In the first half, practicing infectious disease physician, Associate Professor of Medicine with the Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of Toronto and CEO of BlueDot, Dr Kamran Khan joined me to talk about some current and past outbreaks and the work of BlueDot. The second half of the show featured an interview with University of Minnesota Regents Professor, McKnight Presidential Endowed Chair in Public Health, and director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP), Michael Osterholm, Ph.D., MPH. Dr Osterholm came on to discuss the formation of a Fresh Express Blue-Ribbon Panel to study the Cyclospora parasite. In addition, I get his thoughts on a recent New York Times article about China withholding H7N9 avian flu samples. The Outbreak News This Week Radio Show, the first and only radio program dedicated to infectious disease and health news and information, airs every Sunday at 1 pm ET in the Tampa Bay area on AM 1380 The Biz and online at http://1380thebiz.com/

Federal and state health officials have been investigating a multistate outbreak of Cyclospora infections linked to salad mixes distributed to McDonald's by the Fresh Express since mid July. The latest numbers from the CDC put the parasite outbreak total to over 500 cases from 16 states. Fresh Express pulled the salad mix during the last week of July from McDonald's. Last month, John P. Olivo, President, Fresh Express, announced the formation of a Fresh Express Blue-Ribbon Panel to study the Cyclospora parasite. The appointed chair of this panel is University of Minnesota Regents Professor, McKnight Presidential Endowed Chair in Public Health, and director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP), Michael Osterholm, Ph.D., MPH. And he is my guest today. In addition, I get Dr Osterholm's thoughts on a recent New York Times article about China withholding H7N9 avian flu samples.

Dr. Michael Callahan is CEO and co-founder of the Zika Foundation. He is a highly respected “physician scientist”, who is board-certified in internal medicine, infectious disease, tropical medicine and mass casualty care, and is on both the clinical and research faculty at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School. Dr. Callahan has clinical appointments globally, including in Thailand, Indonesia, Panama, and Nigeria. From 2005-2012, Dr. Callahan established Prophecy, the first rapid deployment clinical research capability for catastrophic infectious diseases outbreaks, such as Ebola. Dr. Callahan has served as special advisor on infectious disease to two presidents, the Secretaries of Defense and of Health and Human Services, and the Office of the Commissioner of the FDA. Dr. Callahan has been deployed to 7 mass casualty disease outbreaks, including Ebola, Marburg, H5N1 and H7N9 bird flu, and MERS. He used his experience with dengue to launch the Zika Foundation, where he is accelerating sustainable and low-cost interventions to protect women and men from Aedes mosquitos, which transmit dengue, chikungunya and the Zika virus. His mission is to ensure that the 64 million pregnancies that occur every year in the tropical Americas are kept safe from Zika, and to prevent the epidemic of paralytic Guillain-Barre Syndrome that may well occur in southern nations over the next five years. The interview that you’re about to see challenges our basic understanding of the Zika virus. Dr. Callahan reveals, for example, that new research clearly demonstrates that Zika virus can have long-term neurological effects in adults. He discusses how the aerial spraying efforts, so common in South Florida, are actually ineffective and inappropriate for targeting the specific mosquito that transmits the virus. However, Dr. Callahan does provide us with some very important, and actionable, tools for reducing our risk of contracting Zika, both in terms of what we can do to reduce the prevalence of the Aedes mosquito and also how we can protect ourselves day-to-day. It’s clear that we have to rewrite the book as it pertains to our understanding of mosquitoes, specifically as it relates to the Aedes mosquito that serves as the carrier of the Zika virus. Unlike what we’re used to, this mosquito lives indoors, and, according to Dr. Callahan, is actually able to watch our eyes to determine when is the best time to inflict its bite. Dr. Callahan explores the effectiveness of various insect repellents and even touches upon his research dealing with genetically modified male mosquitoes in an attempt to limit the reproduction of the mosquito that carries this threatening virus.

In early 2013, the first reported human cases of H7N9 avian influenza were reported in China. Since that time, more than 1500 cases have been reported with about half the cases reported since last October. About 40% of those infected died. A study was published this summer in PLoS Pathogens showing the virus being three mutations away from changing into a form that's easily transmitted between humans. How worried should we be about this influenza type, it's potential adaptability to spread among humans and its pandemic potential? Michael Osterholm, PhD joined me for The Story Behind the Story. Dr Osterholm is the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at the University of Minnesota.

H1N1, H7N9, H5N1--we hear this "alphanumeric" description of various influenza, or flu viruses all the time. In this short clip from an older interview, Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Columbia University and founder of Virology Blog, Vincent Racaniello, PhD explains more about the Hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA).

Here is the news.China&`&s environmental inspectors have named and shamed more cities for poor air quality control as the fight against smog continues.Inspectors looked at 18 cities in north China&`&s Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province, using unannounced checks at night and undercover methods. The Ministry of Environmental Protection found that Handan city in Hebei Province continues to illegally operate coal-fired boilers. The boilers have been dismantled and further investigations are underway.In Cangzhou city in the same province, an oil pipe maker, a major source of emissions, was not included in the list of companies to halt production on heavily polluted days.A cement producer in Beijing used more electricity than usual in December when it should have suspended production. Two other cement firms were wrongly exempted from production suspensions. The environment ministry has criticized several other cities for not doing enough in curbing the use of "scattered coal". Scattered coal is burned by households or small factories for heating and is much dirtier than that used by thermal plants, which have the equipment to reduce emissions.China is intensifying efforts to fight pollution and environmental degradation after decades of growth left the country saddled with problems including smog and contaminated soil.This is Special English.The new strain of H7N9 bird flu virus confirmed earlier this month could become drug-resistant. A leading specialist in respiratory diseases warns that it might be resistant already.Human cases of the flu have been rising in China.Two human cases of the new strain were reported in Guangdong province. It shows resistance to a commonly used drug in the prevention and treatment of flu.Experts say although the two patients are resistant to the drug, it has been effective for most human H7N9 cases. This means that most H7N9 viruses have not mutated to the new strain.The experts said that although the new H7N9 strain shows resistance to the drug, the drug could still have an effect on the strain.Both patients have used the drug before, so it is not known whether the drug resistance is caused by previous use of the dug or by a mutation of the virus.Scientists say the possible drug-resistant nature of the new strain deserves more attention.You&`&re listening to Special English.

The regulation was signed by Premier Li Keqiang and will take effect in May.The revision stressed stepping up efforts in developing compulsory, vocational, preschool and senior secondary education for the disabled.For compulsory education, disabled students should be enrolled in normal or special schools near to their home. Those who cannot attend school in person should have teachers visit or receive distance education. Disabled students in regular schools should be taught by teachers with experience in special education.The regulation says vocational education for the disabled should focus on skill cultivation and career guidance.It also stresses raising payment for special education workers, allocating proper funds for the education of disabled people in government budgets and offering subsidies to disabled students with financial difficulties.The initial regulation was enacted in 1994 to guarantee the rights to education for the disabled.This is Special English.International schools in China are posing new challenges for parents who spend huge sums but often find themselves unprepared for a range of issues.The Legal Daily reports that in top-tier cities including Beijing and Shanghai, many parents send their children to international schools to allow them early preparation for studying abroad. Admission has become more competitive amid China&`&s rising number of high income earners and some schools now assess parental participation in community activities before admitting a child.One recent report said international schools in China lack standards in tuition, vary greatly in educational quality, while school ownership is sometimes unclear.International schools in the country come in different forms and many follow the International Baccalaureate curriculum or that of the country they represent.As a new approach, some public high schools have also opened international classes to offer a quick transition abroad. They have become popular among parents, though native English speakers are in the minority as Chinese students comprise 90 percent of classes.You&`&re listening to Special English.

On the other hand, a growing number of high-tech products, including smart phones and tablet PCs, make children focus their eyes and attention on fluorescent screens for long periods of time, resulting in excessive eye fatigue.Experts suggest that youngsters maintain a proper balance between study and rest so as to protect their eyesight, and parents should play a correspondingly active role in the process.You&`&re listening to Special English.

Each of them received 16 parcels on average last year, making university campuses key areas of competition for express delivery companies. The volume of deliveries and on-campus management of the companies&`& operations pose problems for college administrators. Two years ago, parcels delivered to university campuses accounted for 5 percent of the national total, which helped to create 70,000 jobs. A report says that without unified and centralized distribution terminals, the "last kilometer transport" to campuses remains chaotic in many universities.More than 65 percent of express companies in Guangdong Province conduct their on-campus business via a "stall model". Parcels are scattered on the ground in the care of a courier who waits to pass them on to the recipients. Different companies&`& stalls open at different times and in random locations. This means that many students do not receive their parcels on time. The report says that the situation is the same in Beijing, which has the largest overall campus delivery business in China.The report suggests that on campus courier stations should be designated as public welfare facilities and should be part of the campus infrastructure serving teachers and students.

President Xi Jinping has called for improved birth, employment and elderly policies to cope with the country's aging population in a "timely, scientific and comprehensive" manner. Xi made the remarks in a written instruction made public recently. He says coping with the aging population is crucial for development and hundreds of millions of people's well-being. He calls for better top-down design based on current situations and future expectations. The president stresses that this issue should be put on high agenda and relevant work should be carried out during the 2016 to 2020 period. China has well over 200 million people aged 60 or above, more than 15 percent of the total population. The figure is expected to reach 243 million by 2020. Old age care lags far behind demand and varies greatly between regions. In a separate written instruction, Premier Li Keqiang has urged authorities to take a scientific approach to policies and suggestions on the aging issue. In a recent meeting, Wang Yong, head of the National Working Commission on Aging, has urged related departments to get down to work. He says the focus should be on pressing issues for the elderly, so they feel the benefit. This is NEWS Plus Special English. A recent government guideline on urban planning has sparked heated debate among Internet users over opening up gated residential communities to public road system; and an online poll shows that a majority of participants oppose it. The guideline says the roads in the newly established communities will be open to the public, becoming part of the urban road system. The old communities will gradually connect their roads to the public roads. That is to better utilize the urban land and optimize the urban road network. The news on gated communities triggered uproar among Internet users. The news was forwarded 15,000 times and generated 3,600 comments overnight on Sina Weibo, a twitter-like microblogging site. Many Internet users have expressed concern over the potential risks from opening up the gated communities, including noise and air pollution, traffic congestion and public safety. One Internet user says such highlight in the guideline might violate the country's property law, since the home owners also paid for the roads in the communities when they bought the apartments. In a latest development, a senior judge has hinted at possible revisions to the law when responding to the public concern about the opening up. While expounding the 2007 Property Law, the senior judge with the Supreme People's Court says there is still a continuing process to realize the rule of law through legislation.

Beijing plans to almost double the number of air monitoring stations to give a better idea about the true state of the city's air quality. An extra 30 monitoring stations will be added to the 35 already in operation. The stations will cover middle schools, mountainous areas and rural areas, and there will also be more monitor vehicles. Currently, the 35 existing stations observe six categories of pollutants including PM2.5, a major contaminant for Beijing's bad air. Environment authority says the upgrade will provide more data about the city's air quality. Technical preparation of the new monitor stations has been completed, though there is no timeframe for when the new stations will come online. For Beijing and its surrounding regions, the government has set a target of reducing pollution by 40 percent from 2013 levels by 2020. A senior environment official says the city's air quality has improved over the last two years. The authorities have increased efforts to reduce air pollution in the wake of the city's first "red alerts" in December, when smog engulfed the city. This is NEWS Plus Special English. Young people in China who plan to study in the United States are being advised to seek alternatives to the Scholastic Assessment Test, as a recent overhaul has made it more challenging for non-English speakers. A consultant director of the Beijing-based AW Education International says she was advising all her clients to sit the American College Test instead. This is another college placement test in the United States and suitable for those who plan to enroll in the fall semester of 2017. New sample questions from the revised Scholastic Assessment Test do not include many of the question types that Chinese students are usually good at. More time will be required for the students to prepare for the test if they want good scores. Other overseas study consultancy firms have also suggested that their clients turn to other tests. Many Chinese students were admitted to some of the best American universities after scoring high or even full marks in the former tests, but the changes may mean it is no longer easy for Chinese students to excel. Consultancy experts anticipated a reduction in the number of Chinese students taking the test this year. You're listening to NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Liu Yan in Beijing.

With great verve and passion, Chinese people around the world have celebrated their Lantern Festival in both traditional and trendy ways. The festival, which fell on Feb. 22 this year, brought an end to this year's Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations. It is the day when people see themselves starting a new life in a new year. In China, Lantern Festival is an important family day, but unlike Spring Festival when people stay home for family dinners, it is a day for going out and about. In southwest China's Sichuan Province, 20 dragon dance troupes gathered in Luxian County. A team of dancers under a long "dragon costume" painted red or gold used poles to manipulate the dragon's head and serpentine body. They danced to the accompaniment of drums, twisting the dragon as it danced, shaking its head and swinging its tail through the crowds. Another folk tradition, the Yangko dance, was performed in Yan'an city, the "red cradle" of the Chinese revolution in northwest China's Shaanxi Province. Staging the dance on Lantern Festival has become a tradition in the city. This year, around 3,000 performers in bright costumes with colorful umbrellas, fans and red ribbons danced to local folk music and drums. In Taiwan, the annual lantern exhibition has as its centerpiece a 26-meter figure of the Monkey King, the leading character in the Chinese classic "Journey to the West" to celebrate the Year of the Monkey in the Chinese zodiac. In Shanghai, the Yuyuan Garden Fair not only presents traditional lanterns but also the latest high-tech lighting. With a monkey theme, the lantern fair features lasers and pop music.

Tourists from the Chinese mainland are spending more in Taiwan than any other group. Local paper Economic Daily News reports that Japanese tourists were used to top the list for highest average expenditure per person daily when traveling in Taiwan. It is the first time that Chinese mainland tourists have taken the top spot since Taiwan opened up its tourism to visitors from Chinese mainland in 2008. According to Taiwan's tourism authority, every traveler from Chinese mainland on average spent 230 U.S. dollars per day, more than the average expenditure of 220 dollars Japanese spent in the first three quarters last year. Also, every Chinese mainland tourist on average spent almost 123 dollars on shopping, or 40 dollars more than that spent by a Japanese tourist. Japanese tourists have cut down on overseas spending as the yen devaluated sharply and domestic consumption tax rose. The daily expense of Japanese and Chinese mainland tourist in 2014 was 243 and 242 dollars respectively. This is NEWS Plus Special English.

Here is the news.Chinese scientists have used a targeted antibody to significantly reduce H7N9 avian flu symptoms in monkeys.The study demonstrates patients infected with H7N9 virus often end up dead after severe pneumonia and systemic inflammation caused by acute lung infection. Part of the high death-rate of H7N9 is due to very limited effective treatment options.The research results have been published in the British medical journal "Clinical Infectious Diseases". In the study, African green monkeys were inoculated with the H7N9 virus and treated intravenously with an antibody. The treatment markedly reduced lung infections and systemic inflammation.The results show promising progress on helping treat the virus in humans.The study was led by Sun Shi-hui from Beijing Institute of Microbiology and Epidemiology, and Zhao Guang-yu from the Academy of Military Medical Science.Since the H7N9 avian flu killed three people in China in March 2013, the flu has repeatedly cropped up in winter and spring seasons.The study concludes "complement inhibition may be a promising adjunctive therapy for severe viral pneumonia".

China has more than 3,500 categories of drug products, with fewer than 60 for children's use only.Many instruction books do not contain information for children's dosage, or only have descriptions such as "children use with caution" or "a reduced amount must be used".Some Chinese parents are found to have considered their children "miniature adults" and given their children reduced amounts of adult medications.Experts have warned of adverse reactions when doing this. They attribute the problem to the severe shortage of pediatricians in China.China has fewer than 70 children's hospitals with less than 260,000 hospital beds for children. According to the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the figures mean that China is lacking at least 200,000 pediatricians by the standards of developed countries.This is NEWS Plus Special English.More than 30,000 Beijing couples have applied to have a second child since the city eased its one-child policy in February last year.According to the Beijing Municipal Commission of Health and Family Planning, of the 30,000 applicants, almost 29,000 were approved. The number is lower than the 50,000 expected.An official from the commission says many couples who are allowed to have a second child have chosen not to do so, but this does not mean they won't have a second child in the future.The official says the major reason for not having a second child include the consideration for the economic and time cost for raising a second child, and the idea that having one child is enough.Beijing is still preparing for an increase of 50,000 births each year. An extra 1,000 beds will be added in hospitals in Beijing within three years. You are listening to NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing.A short, sharp flash of radio waves from a mysterious source up to 5 billion light years from Earth has been detected by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization's Parkes radio telescope in eastern Australia. The organization is Australia's national science agency. Swinburne University of Technology PhD student Emily Petroff "saw" the burst live, the first time anything like this has been seen by astronomers around the world.Lasting only milliseconds, the first such radio burst was discovered in 2007 by astronomers combing old data archives for unrelated objects.Six more bursts, apparently from outside the galaxy, have now been located with Parkes telescope in New South Wales, and a seventh in Puerto Rico.Astronomers worldwide have been vying to explain the phenomenon.Petroff said these bursts are generally discovered weeks, months or even more than a decade after they happened; and she just happened to be the first to catch one in real time.Confident that she would spot a "live" burst, Petroff had an international team of astronomers poised to make rapid follow-up observations, at wavelengths from radio to X-ray.After seeing the burst go off, the team swung into action on twelve other Parkes telescopes around the world, as well as space based telescopes.The 64-meter wide Parkes radio telescope in the central west of New South Wales claimed a place in history in July 1969 when it received television transmissions of Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon.

Just how serious is the situation regarding the H7N9 virus in China? Last week alone there were at least five newly-infected human H7N9 cases coming from four provinces here in China. There was much concern prior to the Lunar New Year holiday when millions upon millions of Chinese people moved across the country to go home--many to the countryside and at risk from coming into contact with live poultry. It's probably too early to tell what impact on the virus the Lunar New Year movement has had but should we be concerned? Has the Chinese government done enough to deal with this or, at least, assuage public worries? Are we being kept informed of all the developments and what scenarios could pan out with the H7N9 virus in the near future?

The H7N9 avian influenza virus was detected in China early this year. The IAEA has conducted two workshops for their Member States to help them identify H7N9 and improve their preparedness if the virus spreads to their country.
Less than 50 people have died in China from the threat of H7N9 Flu so now the US populace is being threatened with a governmental "State of Emergency" that will mandate flu shots for everyone regardless of any risk to your personal health or religious objections The rational is that everyone must be vaccinated for the good of all people, yet many groups have been given exemptions. Seems to me to be an irrational, Rationale. We have BioAcoustically examined this NEW Flu. We plan to discuss its implications for your health, who/what created this threat and if our legal team allows, we will release math-based antidotes and information that can help you support your personal choices for your family.

Dr Kevin Fong concludes a two-part special looking back at the extraordinary events which unfolded a decade ago when the disease known as SARS first emerged onto an unsuspecting world. In a matter of days SARS had travelled around the globe from a hotel room in Hong Kong, and would go on to infect thousands of people, in dozens of countries. But standing between us and the virus were hundreds of healthcare workers who risked their lives to fight against and contain this unknown deadly disease, some of whom paid the ultimate price. Kevin travels to Hong Kong and Toronto to meet the survivors. With concerns rising over H7N9 and MERS, Kevin asks what lessons have we learned since the first SARS outbreak and would those who stepped up to protect us back then, do so again?

An epidemiological investigation on bmj.com discusses the first probable case of human to human transmission of novel avian influenza A (H7N9). The author of the accompanying editorial, James Rudge, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, explains what this means for public health. Also this week, we know that standardised mortality rates are tricky and have to be interpreted carefully. David Spiegelhater, Winton Professor for the Public Understanding of Risk at the university of Cambridge, explains why a figure of 13 000 excess deaths in NHS hospitals is “number abuse”.

Recently there has been a large amount of attention on a novel human influenza A virus, the H7N9 strain, that as of May 2013, has so far sickened over 131 people and killed 31 in the People's Republic of China. Because of the potential for pandemic spread, there is a great need for rapid and accurate test for the detection of the virus.

The H7N9 virus - or Bird Flu as it is commonly called - is again spreading in China with 126 known infections as of May 1. Serena Jian, Senior Research Analyst for Home Care, Tissue and Hygiene at Euromonitor, says that previous outbreaks in China led to a boom in the home care industry, with concerned consumers rushing to stores to purchase items such as bleach, household antiseptics and disinfectants. News coverage and education about the bird flu and its prevention will also likely add to home care sales.
