Surprised we haven't all killed each other all ready.

... How the hell did that surprise you? Didn't you realize you're alive?

its true that this is potentially dangerous
but what about ALL the other viruses we have on hand in storage facilities
if anything, we'd all be dead by now if anyone wanted to really kill people with germs from the labs

How the? Anyway, I'm sure the Flu will be destroyed as soon as they find a way to kill it safely.

I hope so.

Posts like these are the reason why I punch kittens

viruses can't be killed
we can build an immunity to them, but they still exist

It'll eventually become a threat so small that we needn't worry about it
Although if it somehow gets traits from the common flu, we're all f***

I try to keep myself informed when it comes to things like this, but I don't let it rest on my mind. Hopefully nothing escalates.

Oh, scientists. Yes, let's create a super virus instead of looking to cure the plethora of ailments that are presently upon our doomed globe.

Okay yo check it morons
There are several reasons why a bro would create a test tube virus
One is to understand bacterial evolution and DNA, which can help us predict how bacteria in the body tend to change
With this, having bacteria suddenly do a heelflip and render our medicine ineffective will be less troublesome

Another thing is because vaccinations are easily produced from one based off a similar disease
If a disease similar to this were to appear, we would have a much better chance at stopping it before everyone is f***
This also tends to help with diseases that are already problems

The best one imo is so I can use these diseases to cleanse the gene pool when I take to the throne

f*** birds

The news article dabbles a bit in both your ideas. Nothing in-depth though.


This strain of avian flu can affect humans

I know, besides, you want to make sure there is nothing that virus can hijack, or it may start to reproduce.
