Flu virus News

A group of scientists are trying to publish a paper on how they created a new flu virus that could wipe out all humanity. The study that produced the virus is the subject of raging controversy, with some scientists saying it should never have been done.

Two workers in Saskatchewan's hog farm industry have tested positive for a "novel" strain of flu virus; the workers have fully recovered.

Doctors are getting worried that many strains of the flu do not respond to Tamiflu. The "miracle" flu drug is being stock piled by countries in the event of a flu pandemic. What will happen if that cure proves to be ineffective?

Interesting discovery. I guess that some of the strains keep coming back year after year besides being transmitted through animals...
